Get Ready to Crown the Kings of Australian Drag

Join us for a night of glitter, grace, and grandeur as we celebrate the vibrant talents of Australia’s drag king community. The Australian Drag King Community Awards is more than just an awards show — it’s a love letter to the artists, creators, and trailblazers who bring bold energy, storytelling, and unforgettable style to the stage. Hosted at the intimate and dazzling Two80 Cabaret in Surry Hills, you’ll witness fierce performances, heartfelt tributes, and a killer lineup that embodies the spirit of queer celebration.

This year’s ceremony will honour the best in drag king performance, costume, stage presence, and community impact. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to the drag king scene, you’re guaranteed to leave inspired — and maybe even a little bit wiser about the power of self-expression.

Produced by LOTL Lounge, the event promises an evening of polished cabaret, live music, and the kind of glamour that only a queer awards night can deliver. Grab your best outfit, bring your loudest cheers, and prepare to witness the next generation of drag royalty ascend the throne.

Wheelchair accessible, this event welcomes all identities and expressions. Come as you are — and stay for the magic.
