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!

LINEUP (in no particular order!)

BANDS:

Monstress blend nu jazz, hip hop, and soul into a groove-driven experience. Expect silky hooks, spoken word, and lush harmonies woven with improvisation—music that moves between high-energy joy and deep reflection.

Banana Farm is an indie-jazz 4-piece with lush harmonies and an eclectic sound working on Gadigal land.

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

Lindsey is an Eora/Sydney based cross-genre indie band grounded in folk-driven songwriting. After five years shaping these songs on the Inner West stages, their live-honed tracks are heading into the studio, with releases planned for 2026.

Milly McPherson is a Sydney-based folk rock singer-songwriter whose emotive voice and diary-like lyrics turn everyday feelings into heartfelt songs that linger long after the last note.

Luca Nation is a Sydney-based DJ who knows just how to get everyone away from the bar and on to the dance floor. They have a passion for many different genres of music, as they attempt to encompass the infinite spectrum of music and art within their bouncy sets.

Leej is a dj on gadigal land of the eora nation blending ambient house and a love for synth.

The Lord Gladstone is located on the land of the Gadigal people of the Eora nation. We respect and acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land in which we live, meet, work, and create. Sovereignty was never ceded, and this always was and always will be Aboriginal Land.
