In the heart of Melbourne, where rainbows mingle with punk rock anthems, there's a queer event like no other. It's called BONEZ, a glitter-infused extravaganza that welcomes everyone to embrace their fabulousness. Whether you're an LGBTQ+ misfit, a queer legend, an ally in shining armor, or simply someone seeking a damn good time, BONEZ has got your back.

Event Details

Prepare yourself for an unforgettable night that will leave you dancing 'til dawn and grinning from ear to ear. With a lineup as diverse as a scrumptious buffet, BONEZ boasts an array of extraordinary talent that'll ignite your senses. Bands will take the stage, pouring their hearts out with anthems of love and rebellion. Drag performers will strut their stuff, unleashing a whirlwind of sequins, feathers, and sass. And let's not forget the burlesque acts, teasing and tantalizing with their mesmerizing routines. DJs will spin tunes that will make your hips sway and your inhibitions fade away. Event dates and times change, so check out their full listings on their socials.

But wait, there's more! BONEZ isn't just about the captivating performances; it's a full-blown spectacle. Get ready to explore the market stalls, brimming with queer art, fabulous fashion, and the kind of trinkets that will make your heart skip a beat. And the pièce de résistance? The BONEZ lip sync legends competition, where the most glamorous divas battle it out for lip-sync supremacy. It's a show within a show, a riotous display of talent and charisma that'll have you cheering for your favorites and living for every lip-synced lyric.

Oh, and did we mention the fashion? BONEZ is your golden ticket to relive your emo years, where skinny jeans and black eyeliner ruled the world. Channel your inner angsty teenager, unleash your inner goth, and dance the night away with kindred spirits who appreciate the beauty of black on black or anything you feel!

Grab your crew and get ready to paint the town with a vibrant rainbow of fun and fabulousness. BONEZ is the place to be, where acceptance, love, and laughter intertwine in a glorious celebration of queerness. It's the event that reminds us that life is too short to conform, so let your freak flag fly high and join the party where being yourself is always the main act.
