If, like us, you've been wondering when '80s pop star Sinitta was going to stop mucking about with reality TV shows and get back into music, wonder no more. This huge LGBT festival, held at vast warehouse rave space Tobacco Dock, features a performance from none other than the 'Toy Boy' singer.
But if Sinitta's sugary, nostalgic pop doesn't push your buttons, fear not, as there's a huge array of other treats in store. A dizzying range of arenas will host music and performance showcasing all manner of LGBT nightlife.
Performance troupe Cabaret Room host an arena with drag superstar Jonny Woo, while glam party crew Sink The Pink will be unleashing their usual blend of mischief, glitter and music, from Sinitta and fellow '80s pop queen Hazell Dean.
Other highlights include The Big Gay Reunion, featuring four seminal gay club nights from London (Trade, Crash, DTPM and Love Muscle) joining forces for a huge party. Meanwhile, the Girls' Arena will be representing the ladies of the LGBT communities, featuring '90s club diva Rozalla (of 'Everbody's Free' fame) and top girls' club nights including Clam Jam versus Sister PantyChrist, Code and Club Missfit.
Other musical goodness comes from beat-slinging pro Hannah Holland and her Batty Bass crew in the All About East arena, where you can also find reps from Manchester clubbing staple Homoelectric and Dalston Superstore's Hot Boy Dancing Spot.
And there's more, so much more. Numerous other club night crews will be making an appearance (Tonker, Hot Fuzz, Dirtbox, Douchebag) and there'll also be great grub from the Street Feast team.
One final thing to note is that there's a nautical theme, so perfect that pirate/drunken sailor/fisherman costume and get stuck in to this gargantuan party.
