The biggest Drag Expo in Australasia is taking over the Melbourne Exhibition and Convention Centre for the first time this August embracing the inner queen in all of us.
Whip out your glitteriest frock, pop on your biggest shades and pour yourself a piping hot cuppa tea because this one is bound to be the most Ru-volutionary one yet.
Boasting a huge line-up of queens ranging from our local home-town heroes to heavy-weight Rupaul’s Drag Race veterans, including Sharon Needles, Trinity the Tuck, Katya, Phi Phi O’hara, Trixie Mattel and oh my god just so many fantastic ladies, do you really need more convincing?
Oh you do?
OKAY, KWEEN.
Well apart from the opening gala and individual shows you can attend to see all these fabulous people, the exhibition halls will be filled with amazing shopping stalls for all your drag needs, plenty of food and drinks, chill out spaces and of course the chance to get a little closer to greatness with meet and greets and discussion panels with all your favourite queens!
The chance to doll-up and wear your finest sequins only comes once a year honey so FROCK UP.
But hey, absolutely EVERYBODY is welcome here, that’s the whole point, so just come along and do you, whether that’s hair to the heavens or a comfy pair of jeans.
Tickets are now available on the Drag Expo website and definitely get in early for those meet and greets girl, because soon they’ll be more snatched than Queen Ru herself.
So get pumped, re-watch your favourite queen’s race for the crown and we’ll see you at the Melbourne Exhibition and Convention Centre August 7-9th. And remember lovelies, if you can’t love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else? Can I get an Amen up in HURR?
