The queer block party returns to Depot Mayfield on 26 September with its most club-heavy line-up to date, plus a new stage curated by Glasgow’s Ponyboy.
Homobloc has revealed the full line-up for its seventh edition, taking place at The Warehouse Project in Manchester on Saturday 26 September.
Headlining this year is Kim Petras, joined by Honey Dijon b2b Derrick Carter, S.A.S.S. – the collective of Saoirse, Moxie, Peach and Shanti Celeste making their Manchester debut – Job Jobse, DJ Paulette, Cobrah, I. Jordan, Dorian Electra and Palms Trax, among others. Over in Archive, Live From Earth hosts a Berlin-heavy stage featuring LSDXOXO, DJ Gigola, MCR-T and Miss Bashful.
New for this edition is Vault, a 1,000-capacity stage in the former ticket hall of Depot Mayfield, curated by Glasgow queer club night Ponyboy and featuring Lady Shaka, Armana Khan, Med10 b2bj Luca Eck and more.
“Our nights are always a cultural happening, but with new eyes on us and a brand new stage to break in, we’re turning up the juice and seeing what shakes loose, to quote a wise poet,” Ponyboy said. “We’ve admired what Homobloc does for years, and debuting a new stage isn’t an undertaking we take lightly, so everyone kindly relax your throats and glue down your lace because we’re about to shut Manchester down.”
The event will also celebrate 35 years of FLESH, the legendary LGBTQ+ night born at The Haçienda, with a takeover of the Star and Garter featuring original residents Tim Lennox, Kath McDermott, Guy Williams and DJ Paulette alongside a special appearance from Adeva.
Pre-sale goes live on 9 July at 10am. General sale opens 10 July at 10am. Tickets available here.
