The audience is friendly, and mixed across ages, ethnicities, genders and sexualities, everyone is welcome. Plus there are open decks & open mic nights where everyone can be part and play their own music, read and perform. Newcomers and beginners are welcome and encouraged to take up an open mic spot.

Gal Pals is a queer dance party in Brighton and London, playing music exclusively by women.

Founded in 2015 by two real-life Gal Pals, Gal Pals is a space created to address the lack of safe spaces for queer women, trans, non-binary and gender non-conforming people.

Playing the best in female-fronted pop, hip-hop, R&B and queer party anthems, Gal Pals run regular club nights at Komedia in Brighton and Lafayette in London.

Their next event in London is planned for 13 November 2021, book your tickets here.

Launched in 2015, Fèmmme Fraîche aims to bring cutting-edge house, techno & art to queer girls, fèmmmes, butch, trans, non-binary, and everyone in between.

Housed at East London’s Dalston Superstore, you can enjoy trash-pop and guilty pleasures upstairs, while downstairs in the basement clubheads get sweaty to Acid, House, Techno and the finest and fraichest underground sounds.

Each party also screens the works of selected up-and-coming female artists, a variety of female performers and hosts. You can also take part in one of their DJ competitions, offering up the chance for budding new DJ’s to spin the opening set and showcase their skills.

Check their Facebook page for upcoming events.
