Mother announces Queer Dance Party in the woods at this year's Electric Picnic

Mother returns to Stradbally in 2024 with its infamous late-night LGBTQIA+ rave dubbed the 'Mother After Dark Queer Dance Party in the Woods'.

The rave, curated by the Dublin nightclub of the same name, is back at Electric Picnic this August, 16-18 taking place every night from 11pm-4am.

The late night sessions will include a string of Mother DJ regulars as well a few special guests.

DJ Ghostboy will be on decks along with fellow  Mother mainstays Ruth Kavanagh and Rocky T Delgado on top of the bill at the 3 day bender.

Along with the disc jockeys, they'll be  drag, kinksters, dancers, queer performers & our whole queer festival family.

Event organisers said: "We’re gearing up for a weekend of dancing & hedonistic reckless abandon".

They'll be a selection of Guest DJs too to complete the lineup including Kelly-Anne Byrne, Glamo, and Billy Bunzari.

Pop-up shows have also been promised,  featuring Abrakedavre, Annie Queeries, Anziety, Avatar Guille, Donna Fella, Faux Joli, Naomi Diamond, Nokia, the OINK Go-Go Dance crew, Saint Marco, Shaqira Knightly & the Mother Dancers.
