Hot and steamy Melbourne

Hot and Steamy is Australia’s fastest-growing queer celebration — born in the sultry wet-season nights of Port Douglas, now hitting the road in 2026 with the Hot & Steamy Australian Pride Tour, before making the Gold Coast its permanent home from 2027.

What started as one steamy weekend has become a nationwide love-letter to desire, pride and belonging. Bigger stages, wilder production, world-class performers and that same electric, heart-racing feeling you get when the bass drops and the room is full of your people.

Headlined by Global Drag Race superstar KWEEN KONG, alongside national and international DJs: Kayty Banks (WA), Ney, Like a Horses (QLD), Emerald Jones, Jesse Boyde & Super Disco Club (VIC), Salomigs (BRAZIL) & Kelly Tee (UK). Hot and Steamy also features a diverse cast of performers, all celebrating varied identities and backgrounds.

Proudly queer-led, joyfully inclusive and strictly 18+, we create safe, sweat-soaked spaces where everyone can turn the heat all the way up and feel completely, gloriously free.

Get ready, Australia!! Hot & Steamy is packing four years of tropical heat into one massive nationwide glow-up… and the steam is about to hit you.
