Walk Proud @ Kinselas is to host free and ticketed performances from critically acclaimed acts, including musician G Flip and Queer Folk-Pop artist Alex The Astronaut.
Darlinghurst venue, Kinselas, is about to get a colourful facelift for this year’s WorldPride in Sydney. The iconic LGBTQIA+ venue, located in the heart of Darlinghurst’s entertainment precinct, is being transformed with an exterior mural designed by fashion Creative Director, Mikey Nolan, of label Double Rainbouu.
It’s all part of Walk Proud @ Kinselas, a collaboration with whisky brand Johnnie Walker, in recognition and to empower progress for every LGBTQIA+ identity and inspire people to ‘Keep Walking Proudly’ towards a more inclusive future.
Keep Walking Proudly
Walk Proud @ Kinselas will host more than 40 events across all four floors of the venue, with acts from non-binary musician G Flip, Queer Folk-Pop artist Alex The Astronaut, Australian Pop Band Cub Sport and Gomeroi woman, Trans and First Nations advocate and solicitor DJ Crescendoll.
It is not just the facade that is seeing some new love – the venue interiors will also be updated with extra glitz in furnishings, lighting and staging for the performances.
What’s on at Kinselas
Meet at The Chapel
The ground floor public bar, The Chapel, will be a hive of activity with free events, including Kiama Blowhole bingo and will be updated with new lighting, staging, a catwalk, and an intimate and very exclusive Johnnie Walker Blue Label bar that seats just four people.
Down in The Basement
The Basement will be transformed into a cabaret venue, with Kinselas’ famous Middle Bar serving up a selection of Johnnie Walker cocktails on their famous balcony overlooking Taylor Square and Oxford Street.
Top deck DJ at The Club
While lovers of beats will flock to the top floor where The Club will host international DJs with a staging design that puts the DJ in the centre for an all-inclusive dance party.
Some of the biggest names are flying into Sydney for WorldPride, including Papi Juice (NYC), Boris (Ger), Jennifer Loveless B2B Ayebatonye, MikeQ and Sveta.
