Monday Night Fever: The Teal Takeover
Hosted by the dazzling Keira Billie – proudly crowned Sydney’s Favourite Drag Hostess 2024 at the DIVA Awards.
Get ready to own Monday nights as Keira Billie brings sass, style, and theatrical flair to The Teal Takeover. A symbolic torch-passing from Virgo meets a splash of teal—and the stage is officially hers.
Grab the spotlight and sing your favourite karaoke anthem with Keira cheering you on—whether you’re belting out divas or bringing pop classics, she’ll make sure your performance slays Monday like never before.
Mardi Gras doesn’t officially begin until ESCÁNDALO kicks the doors open... and this year we’re lighting up the program from day one.
We’re opening the festival on Friday 13th February with a night that promises pure fuego, fierce Latinx flavour, and the wild energy that only ESCÁNDALO can bring.
Get ready for una noche of pure perreo, sweating, dancing, jaw-dropping drag show, and all the bangers that make your hips move like Shakira, Karol G, Thalía, JLo, Bad Bunny, and more.
This isn’t just another night out. ESCÁNDALO is where Latin beats meet queer joy... a space to dance, connect, and celebrate who we are sin vergüenza.
Whoever you are, queer, ally, bestie, chismosx, or just here for the vibes... you’re super bienvenidx!

Dykadellic presents Lane-Slay. There will be music, but Chappell isn't really coming.
Lane-Slay: Unauthorised, Unofficial, Unhinged
So, you wanted Laneway? Sorry babe, this is Lane-Slay. It’s what happens when you buy “Music Festival” off Temu and it arrives with free shipping, no returns, and a suspicious smell.
🎤 Will Charli XCX be there? Absolutely not.
🪩 Will there be hundreds of lesbians? They'll be there with carabiners on.
Festival Energy? Kinda.
A lineup we can’t announce because it doesn’t exist.
Indoors, air-conditioned, with toilets that actually flush.
No sunburn, mud, or tent drama.
What to Expect:
Drag kings and queens parodying the greats.
Queer DJs playing all night.
Prizes for the best dressed (come as your fave festival act).
A fever dream of sapphic energy.
This is not a festival. It’s a festival-shaped hallucination. It’s not “cool”. It’s cooler. It’s Lane-Slay.
Best Dressed Competition
Is your leg wetter than Wet Leg? Are you pinker than PinkPantheress? This is your moment.
$100 cash prizes to win.
Come dressed as your favourite act from any music festival.
Our highly unqualified panel of queer judges will pick their favourites based on vibes, commitment, and crowd reaction.
Will it be fair? Probably not.
A safe and inclusive space for lesbian, trans, queer, genderqueer people, and their allies. Entry into any Dykadellic event is subject to our Code of Conduct.
