Overview

Section 8 is throwing down a celebration of Melbourne's diverse and vibrant LGBTQIA+ community this Monday, October 31. Dubbed Hella Queen, the free-entry evening will see burlesque, dance and music performances taking over the openair CBD spot.

We know what you're thinking…. Monday? But this will be the day before the Melbourne Cup, so it's expected to be a big one.

From 3pm till late, some of the biggest names in Melbourne's LGBTQIA+ community will take to the Section 8 stage. This will include live performances from Jamaica Moana and Julai, R&B dancer Tony Oxybel and a burlesque show from Gina Stirling.

DJ sets from MzRizk, Top Hun, Gay Roberto, 3rd Orbit and Chaotic Good will also keep the party going until late.

And, if you're heading to Hella Queen, be sure to don your best frock. Make it as bright and beautiful as you can, because they'll be awarding the best-dressed patron with a gift pack from local streetwear label, Homie.
