Following its sold-out debut in 2023, the one-of-a-kind TRANSGENRE festival is returning for its hotly anticipated second edition.

With an electrifying lineup headlined by fast-rising indie stalwart flowerkid (who is set to become a true national treasure with his impending debut album), TRANSGENRE Volume II will take over the Red Rattler Theatre in Eora Sydney (Gadigal Country) on Saturday 27 September, 2025.

Just like its first edition. the all-ages event will feature an eclectic lineup of the brightest trans and non-binary voices in Australian music. Joining flowerkid will be local icon Alex the Astronaut - performing an ultra-rare, intimate acoustic set - as well as indie-pop angels FVNERAL, experimental empress Noctica, hyperpop firestarter Dyan Tai, rap queens JUBAHLEE and Stokahr (the latter making their interstate debut), moody rockers Second Idol, emo babes Perfect Daughters and hardcore sweethearts Hunny.

TRANSGENRE Volume II will also feature stalls highlighting LGBTQ+ organisations and businesses (including co-presenters Sock Drawer Heroes), as well as goodies from a handful of local queer artists/craftspeople, and sweet treats from vegan chef extraordinaire Eli Tillett (aka Their Kitchen).

The inaugural TRANSGENRE festival was a rapturous celebration of trans and non-binary talent from all across Australia – and with Volume II, its crew are expanding their vision for an even bigger and more euphoric experience.

Time: 3pm-11pm
