Welcome, fabulous creatures, to the most electrifying and liberating extravaganza on the dance floor – CLOSET! This sparkling spectacle takes Melbourne and the rest of Australia by storm, proudly celebrating the rainbow of love, light, and shimmering sequins that is the LGBTQ+ community.

Event Details

Imagine a cosmic collision between a disco ball and a rainbow, and you'll get a glimpse of the mesmerizing spectacle that awaits you. CLOSET is where the dance moves are wilder than a pride of unicorns on a sugar high, and the beats are so infectious that even statues will be tempted to do the Macarena.

As you step into the magical realm of CLOSET, you'll feel like you've entered a time machine, zapping you back to the Studio 54 era, where glitter was a currency and dancing was an art form. But don't be fooled by the retro vibes – this party has evolved with the times, embracing the latest pop anthems, queer anthems, and all the anthems in between!

Now, prepare yourself for an epic journey of self-expression and love, where the only rule is to be your authentic, flamboyant self. Gender norms? Pfft, they were left at the door, darling! Whether you're a dancing diva, a voguing vixen, or a twirling tornado of fabulousness, CLOSET welcomes you with open arms and rainbow confetti.

Oh, and let's talk fashion! Glittering outfits that can blind the sun? Check. Leather jackets that would make the Fierce Five jealous? Double-check. You'll spot a dazzling display of attire that'll leave you wondering if you've just landed in a haute couture show.

Prepare yourself for jaw-dropping performances that redefine what it means to slay the dance floor. Drag queens, drag performers, and gender-bending royalty will grace the stage, leaving you spellbound with their charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent. And if you thought the Sistine Chapel was awe-inspiring, wait till you witness the artistry of their makeup and costumes!

So, my glitter-adorned darlings, whether you're gay, straight, or zigzagged, CLOSET invites you to dance like nobody's watching, love like you've never been hurt, and shimmer like the star that you are. Get ready to embrace the freedom of your true self, for in the CLOSET, we throw open the doors and dance to the rhythm of our fabulous, authentic hearts!
