Calling all you vibe-loving heads. You, who lived for the thrill of a sticky floor, a makeshift stage, and a toilet situation best left undescribed. You, who know that the best nights happen when the setup feels a little too good to be legal.
This is that night. The MAC, but wilder, weirder, louder.
Expect drag cabaret that’ll melt your mascara, live acts that’ll shake your soul, and the MAC done up like she hasn’t been in years. And at the heart of it all? David Holmes—Belfast’s own legendary DJ, producer, film composer, and the man behind God’s Waiting Room, the left-of-centre club night that’s become the stuff of myth.
No comps, no guest list—this is about supporting the artists and communities that make Belfast magic.
Dress Code? Avant-garde? Punk? Cabaret? Floral fever dream? Yes.
