Date
26 sep. 2026 21:00 - 02:00

For the first time ever, Club Bisous gets a Pride edition.

The parade may be over, but we're not going home just yet.

After a day of Pride celebrations across the city, Pride Bisous: Kings After Dark takes over Stage for a night of queer performance, dancing, and community. Created by Escarpin Productions and RFSL Umeå in collaboration with RFSU Umeå, Purple Spaces and Take Queer, this first Pride edition brings together performers and partygoers for a celebration of queer joy.

This year's theme, Kings After Dark, is inspired by drag kings, queer icons, and the art of becoming whoever you want to be once the sun goes down.

Expect dazzling performances, unexpected encounters, and a dancefloor where self-expression takes centre stage.

When the curtain falls, the night is just getting started.

👗 Dress code: FABULOUS

Kings, queens, things, and everything in between.

Lean into royal glamour, masculine elegance, drag excellence, leather, glitter, sequins, suits, crowns, moustaches, or whatever version of yourself deserves a grand entrance. Pride is the perfect excuse to wear the outfit you've been saving.

🌈 Your queer safe space

Whether you're celebrating Pride for the first time or returning to familiar faces, Pride Bisous is YOUR safe space.

Come to dance, flirt, reconnect, make new friends, dress up, take up space, and be a little ridiculous. You don't have to be cool, polished or perfectly put together. Come as yourself — or as whoever you feel like becoming after dark.
