ADAM Underwear Friendly Freshmen Edition

Ready to unwind in a body-positive, judgement-free space? ADAM returns with its Underwear Friendly Freshmen Edition — a warm, welcoming hang for queer men and masculine-identifying adults, where comfort and connection come first. Whether you’re a seasoned attendee or stepping in for the first time, you’re guaranteed a relaxed, inclusive night.

ADAM is all about embracing your authentic self — whether that’s in your favourite undies, jock, or speedo. Closed-toe shoes are mandatory, and phones must be cloaked to keep the vibe uninterrupted (don’t forget to plan how you’ll grab a drink!).

Our Manifesto? Safety, Consent & Respect. We’re serious about making sure everyone feels secure, respected, and empowered to participate — or not — on their own terms. Staff are always nearby, and CCTV is in operation to ensure peace of mind.

ADAM began with a simple idea: a space for queer men to gather without pressure or pretence. Eleven years on, that mission hasn’t changed — it’s just grown. ADAM Melbourne remains a men-only event, staying true to its original spirit while celebrating all body types, identities, and subcultures.

Looking for music? You’ll hear the sounds that fuel DELINQUENT, EDEN, and HOMO EROTICA on our SoundCloud channel. For behind-the-scenes vibes and candid moments, check out Bluesky — we’re posting frequently!

We respectfully acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land, the Bunurong Boon Wurrung and Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin Nation, and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.
