Escape into a kaleidoscopic disco of celestial delights as Candy Social Club returns with their next installment: Platinum Disco.

Presented by Richie LeStrange and Backbone Youth Arts.

Nestled in the Seven Hills nature reserves, join us in our Amphitheatre oasis and revel in the celebration of identity, liberation, pure joy and local artists as we dance under the setting sun.

Dressed in your most luminous platinum fashions, Candy Social Club Platinum Disco will transform into a retro-futuristic, psychedelic chrome sanctuary for connection and celebration.

Dedicated to the delicious underground of Brisbane performing arts scene, Candy Social Club loudly and proudly twists the lolly wrapper on queer club nights, exploding in an eclectic array of music, performance, empowerment, liberation, and celebration.

We acknowledge this event takes place on the stolen lands of the Jaggera and Turrbal people, and we honour their ongoing connection to the lands, skies and waters. We pay our respects to all elders past and present, and extend our love to all First Nations communities attending. Always was, always will be.

WORK IN PROGRESS SHOWING AND WORKSHOP

By Fen Carter

It's a common misconception that the movie ends and credits roll once you come out to someone. The Label is just the beginning and if you're asexual, the Label comes with a lecture and police-brand investigations into every crevice of your love life. 

Let Fen Carter be your lantern bearing guide through the life of an asexual person: shining light on issues of medicalisation, growing up different and intimacy of all kinds as they peel back the Label for the people they have just come out to.

Irreverent, Heartfelt and wait, what did she say?

COMEDY AND BURLESQUE PERFORMANCE
By Thalia Novela

Subtitles Not Included is a storytelling experience of being a gender non-conforming immigrant from a Latinx country into Australia. Through the arts of drag, stand up and burlesque, Thalia Novela will guide you through a journey of hard work, gender expression and love. This show is irreverent, but it also combines heartfelt experiences.
