FLASHBACK

20:00 – 00:00 | The Throwback Party (Main Stage)

Dress Code: Retro Mischief.

Flashback is a high-energy throwback party celebrating pop and dance anthems from the 80s, 90s and Naughties — the songs you maybe shouldn’t know every word to, but absolutely do. This is the guilty-pleasure side of nostalgia: messy, euphoric and unapologetically fun.

Hosted by Hannah Conda and set poolside at the Main Stage, Flashback leans into late-night energy, playful chaos and crowd-wide release. Expect hands-in-the-air moments, shameless sing-alongs and tracks that unlock everyone’s inner menace.

PIANO BAR

20:00 - 21:30 (Tonic)

Pull up a seat, grab a cocktail, and sing your heart out at Gay Piano Bar with Michael Griffiths. Expect a lively night of iconic queer anthems, camp classics, heartfelt ballads, and outrageous singalongs led by one of cabaret’s most entertaining personalities. Equal parts hilarious, nostalgic, and fabulously chaotic, this is your piano bar fantasy brought to life.

Known for his razor-sharp wit, outrageous charm, and iconic gold lamé jacket, Bob delivers a high-energy cabaret experience packed with comedy, classic tunes, and unexpected moments.

This is a sit-back-and-enjoy style show with plenty of audience interaction, making it the perfect entertainment offering for guests looking for something fun, nostalgic, and fabulously over-the-top.
