BERLIN @ HOTA

Goldy’s present BERLIN for the HOTA Underground Festival 2024.

Willkommen to the opulent underworld of the queer club scene of 1930’s Berlin. Where an irresistible blend of artistry, diversity, and bohemian spirit converge in one mesmerising night.

Amidst the alluring haze of a smoky bar, Goldy’s very own queer jazz band, the Dirty Martini’s enchants with an old and new world sound and gender-bending performances. Indulge in our cocktail of the very best burlesque and live entertainment including Gogo Bumhole, Ja’mie Displays and Bendy Elle, on a night that transcends boundaries.

This is a haven for free spirits, where artists, queers and bohemians come together to celebrate the extraordinary and leave it all on the dancefloor with your musical maestro JR Dynamite.
