If you like your weekends fun-soaked, sparkle-heavy, and absolutely dripping in drag excellence, Don’t Tell Mama Weekender is back and pulling out all the stops. This year’s line-up has just levelled up in a big way, with Baga Chipz joining the party as a brand-new headliner.
A Drag Race UK icon with vocals to match the mouth, Baga brings razor-sharp wit, crowd-working chaos and zero filter. Expect big laughs, bigger tunes and the kind of energy that turns a good night into a “remember when…” story by breakfast. If you’ve ever wanted to see Baga live, loud and entirely unapologetic, this is very much your moment.
Friday night, thank you for the music
The weekend kicks off in full disco glory with an official ABBA Opening Party, headlined by ABBA Gold Europe, Europe’s number one ABBA tribute show. Hosted by Gran Canaria drag favourite Polly Glamorous, guests are encouraged to lean hard into ABBA and EuroVibes-inspired looks, think jumpsuits, sparkle and zero restraint.
Once the ABBA anthems have had their moment, the party rolls straight into EuroVibes, featuring Tia Kofi, Nicki French and Allan Jay. It’s camp, it’s pop, it’s impossible not to dance.
Saturday night sparkle, Glitter & Glam
Saturday brings the big costume moment, and the theme is officially Glitter & Glam. Whether you’re serving subtle shimmer or full sequinned spectacle, this is your excuse to dress to dazzle. The main party is hosted by Polly Glamorous at Centre Stage, with prizes up for grabs for the most dazzling and unique looks. Extra glitter strongly encouraged.
More than just the parties
Don’t Tell Mama is a full weekend fantasy, not just a couple of late nights. Expect Dragathon, Drag Bingo, line dancing with the rodeo queens, pool parties, and a gloriously indulgent bottomless drag brunch. Between shows, sunshine and cocktails, this is the kind of weekender where your phone fills up with photos you’ll be revisiting all year.
If you’ve been waiting for a sign to book your next LGBTQ+ escape, this is it. Bigger names, bigger parties and a crowd that knows how to have a very good time, Don’t Tell Mama is serving everything.
