Overview

LA clubbing royalty is headed to Australia for the first time ever this month — and she's making sure its a debut to remember. High-octane, inclusivity-focused party A Club Called Rhonda has become something of a legend in the States, described as a "pansexual paradise, a haven for all identities and inclinations". And, having graced venues across LA, San Francisco, New York, Canada and Berlin, she's making an extravagant one-night appearance at Sydney's own home of good times, The Lansdowne.

Making the most of the pub's freshly approved 5am lockout-free licence, Picnic + Terzini Presents A Night In LA with A Club Called Rhonda crashes into town for one debaucherous evening — filled with glitter, lasers and colour — on Saturday, August 24. A star-studded cast of US and Canadian guests will be along for the ride, from Atlanta QTPOC crusader Leonce to Montreal's ghetto-house superstar Martyn Bootyspoon and Rhonda Co-Founder Goddollars.

Joining the internationals on the bill will be a lineup of local dance legends and queer icons, including Stereogamous — the self-proclaimed gayest band since The Village People — and Ayebatonye. Other DJs and performers working their magic across the Lansdowne's two levels include Sarah Moany, Adi Toohey, Millie Skyes, Felicia Foxx, Luen and Freda's Spicy Salami (aka owner David Abram).

Of course, with that lineup and those hours, you're going to need some decent fuel, which comes in the form of tropical disco cocktails from Yael Vengroff — American Bartender of the Year 2018 and head bartender at The Spare Room in LA.

Picnic + Terzini Presents A Night In LA with A Club Called Rhonda will run from 9pm–5am.
