Dream State Party (2)

Presented by DEBASER & DREAM STATE:

Over a year on from the last ‘Dream State Party’, we’re bringing you a brand new lineup in a brand new space! Come see some of Sydney's most exciting acts, grab a beer, meet some sick people and then close out the night with some electric DJ sets. The Dream State Party (2) is a celebration of some of Eora/Sydney's best queer, female and gender-diverse artists!

This time -- 70% of the profits will go towards twenty10, who are a NSW based service supporting LGBTIQA+ young people aged 12-25. They do such important work including (but not limited to) helping queer youth build community through outreach events and social support programs, assistance accessing support services like housing & counselling, as well as providing training to help support queer communities. 

This event is 18+ - you’re under 18, you will be turned away at the door (no refunds) Sorry!

binsad’s sound is both sweet and harsh, sharing the comfort and light that exist even in our most vulnerable moments
