Boots N’ Bling: Queer Country Rave
July 19 @ 9:00 pm – July 20 @ 2:00 am
Where rhinestones meet rhythm. Where hoedown meets ho-up.
Because country was always queer — and now it’s loud about it.
A two-steppin’, glitter-drenched takeover of your favorite venue — complete with: indoor honky-tonk-style rave hall (club lights, thumpin’ bass)
Parking: Street & paid lot options nearby
Closest Transit: [Albert & Slater]
THE SOUND:
Country, but make it club.
Think barn dance on molly. Think gay rodeo meets Pride parade.
Soundtrack by our genre-blending, floor-filling DJs spinning:
● Deep cuts & boot-stompers from Orville Peck, Kacey Musgraves, Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter
● Shania Twain, Lil Nas X, Dolly Parton (remixed, reworked, revered)
● House, disco, and country-trap crossover edits
● Surprise y’allternative throwbacks & queer line dance anthems
● Midnight “Hoe-Down Hour” — a curated set of gay country bangers to lose your spurs to
Expect everything from “9 to 5” on acid to “Old Town Road” like you’ve never heard it before.
