"VAN" (Sports Desk - Europe Bureau - 23.07.2021) :: Drag queen Vinegar Strokes performes side by side with New York rap artist Princess Nokia and the Danish underground garage-rockers Baby In Vain – WorldPride & EuroGames organisers really have looked far and wide in booking theirr music programme for August!
Fifty new names have been added to the Copenhagen 2021 WorldPride and EuroGames celebration which takes over Copenhagen and Malmö in August. Last week they announced their first concerts – including a free concert with Princess Nokia.
Fluid Festival
About half of the announced names belong to Fluid Festival, a celebration-within-the-celebration located on Gammel Strand, which throughout WorldPride and EuroGames celebrates women, genderqueer and non-binary identities – and artists.
At Fluid Festival you can experience concerts with the R’n’B inspired and genre-experimenting pop singer Freja Kirk, the alternative rock musicians in Baby In Vain and the soul-inspired Mekdes. O/RIOH, Mendoza, and legendary Danish-Egyptian DJ Ashibah will also play at the Festival.
World-famous drag night
Amongst the release you will also find a wide range of drag performers. Copenhagen Pride is known both nationally and internationally for their Drag Night, and no pride should be without! This year, the iconic night returns bigger than ever with more than 25 drag performers from all over the globe performing at a show in K.B. Hallen, which is streamed live to Fælledparken – and to you! The show is free, but a ticket must be booked if you are going to attend the party in K.B. Hallen or Fælledparken in-person.
Among the drag performers you will find both drag queens, drag kings and non-binary performers. Most fans of RuPauls Drag Race will know the performer Vinegar Strokes from the programme’s UK edition, just as Danish viewers of Denmark’s Got Talent will recognize the finalist and political activist Mizz Privileze.
You will also get a chance to enjoy shows with Adam All, the internationally recognised Drag King from the UK, and Tenderoni, the Drag King that recently won Alaska Thunderfuck’s Drag Queen Of The Year Pageant.
Artist booker Tonny Liljenberg has promised that the show will be both grand and encapsulate everything you know and love from the world of drag: ‘lip-syncing, comedy, song, dance, shade, drama and gags!’
Concerts to be streamed globally
The major global media outlet Time Out is a media partner at Drag Night, which means that this year’s show will be streamed across London, New York, Boston, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago, Sydney, Melbourne, and on Time Out Everywhere, their global site.
Will Gleason, Time Out New York Editor, says: “I’m overjoyed that Time Out will be covering a major Pride once again this year. From our #PrideWorldwide event last year highlighting ways the international LGBTI+ community was staying connected during an unprecedented time to our global celebration this year of the local LGBTI+ spots that are essential parts of the souls of their cities, Time Out is dedicated to showcasing LGBTI+ culture in all of its diverse glory around the world. We can’t wait to see what the performers have prepared for Drag Night this year and will be clapping along with everyone else this August.”
