PLAYNICE CONFIDENTIAL 013 | KATIE PEARSON

Seeking passion? pleasure? possibility? You’ve come to the right place. PLAYNICE Confidential returns with an evening designed for connection, creativity, and quality music — all wrapped in an atmosphere that’s intentionally playful and quietly defiant. Everyone is welcome.

Katie Pearson is the evening’s sonic guide — a selector whose sets feel like a familiar embrace, yet always surprise you. With a career deeply rooted in Melbourne’s queer nightlife, she’s no stranger to crafting moments that make the dance floor feel like a sanctuary. She’s held court at festivals like Dark Mofo and Pitch Music & Arts, held residencies at legendary venues like Revolver Upstairs, and shared her sonic discoveries with global audiences via The Lot Radio and Skylab Radio.

What sets Katie apart? It’s not about genres or rules — it’s about feeling. She doesn’t chase trends; she curates experiences. Whether you're dancing to her peak-time festival sets or listening to her late-night radio slots, she knows how to build a mood, layer textures, and make every moment feel alive.

When Katie Pearson plays, you don’t need to know what comes next — you just know it’ll be worth the ride. Expect a night of musical surprises, soulful selections, and the kind of dancefloor magic that only happens when the vibe is just right.

We pay our respects to the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, and acknowledge their custodianship of these lands and waters; their culture and language; and their elders - past, present and emerging. We invite Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people in our community to this event, if they wish to come free of charge. There are an allocated amount of tickets so please email playniceconfidential@gmail.com for enquiries.
