An immersive, music-led, fun-filled night built around connection, sound, and aesthetic.
Not your traditional club night — LUCID is a space where freedom meets exhilaration. A gateway to a sexy, experience-driven night for a crowd that understands the unspoken codes of respect and personal freedom.

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.
Be kind
No terfs
No transphobia
Mind your business

WHAT IS ART BATTLE?
Art Battle® is live competitive painting. Painters create the best work they can in 20 minutes. As they work, patrons move around the easels, closely watching the creative process. At the end of the round, the audience votes democratically for their favourite painting and bids in silent auction to take the work home. Art Battle happens in over 80 cities worldwide, check artbattle.com for local listings!
