Festival Summer

12 JUN – 8 SEP 2019

Join us for a summer-long party by the Thames, celebrating LGBTQI+ artists and performers in a packed programme of events.

Our outdoor stage explodes with DJs, performances, film screenings and live music as we host takeovers from some of London’s most essential club and cabaret nights, including Siren, The Cocoa Butter Club and Little Gay Brother.

Enter a world filled with excess in Jean Paul Gaultier’s part revue, part catwalk, Fashion Freak Show, and catch fearless shows from pop star Peaches, drag star Ginger Johnson and electronic musician Planningtorock.

Plus, our new exhibition Kiss My Genders opens at Hayward Gallery, showcasing more than 30 international artists whose works redefine identity, beauty and the body.

Summer kicks off with our free QTIPOC Pride Party: Pxssy Palace x BBZ on Saturday 6 July, featuring performances and electrifying music to celebrate Pride until the early hours.
