Join us for another Drag is PUNK with Blue, Nik Nak, Atomic and friends!
Drag Is Punk is a riot in heels — a high-voltage collision of glitter, grit, and unapologetic self-expression. This isn’t polite pageantry. It’s raw lip-sync rebellion, safety-pinned glamour, and performances that scream louder than a power chord in a basement venue.
Expect torn fishnets and towering wigs. Expect gender anarchy and DIY divinity. Expect queens, kings, and creatures of every kind turning the stage into a mosh pit of beauty and defiance. From snarling ballads to thrashing anthems, every number is a middle finger to the ordinary.
Drag Is Punk is where eyeliner runs, sweat drips, and the crowd doesn’t just watch — they worship.
No rules. No filters. Just drag the way it was meant to be: loud, political, messy, and unforgettable.
