Pride Bisous: Kings After Dark

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

After a day of Pride celebrations across the city, Pride Bisous takes over Stage for a night of queer performance, dancing, and community. To celebrate this first edition, Club Bisous is joining forces with RFSU Umeå and Take Queer.

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, DJs, unexpected encounters, and a dancefloor where gender is playful, self-expression is celebrated, and everyone is invited to join the party.

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

👗 Dress code:

Kings, queens, things, and everything in between. Lean into royal glamour, masculine elegance, drag excellence, leather, glitter, sequins, suits, crowns, 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 a space where queer joy, self-expression, and community take centre stage. Come to dance, flirt, reconnect, make new friends, or simply be surrounded by people who understand the value of showing up as yourself.
