In June, Jubahlee dropped her first-ever single, the sassy, club-ready banger AH AH AH. If the track is anything to go by, her set will be nothing less than a rager.

Fans can see her performing alongside a live set by Queer Pasifika contemporary rapper Julai and an improvised performance by non-binary musician and trendsetter Ed Moon.

DJs Garfie, Top Hun and 3rd Orbit are also set to take the stage, bumping beats through the famous Section 8 parking lot all night long. Guests can also take part in the voguing competition, which will run multiple categories throughout the event, or enter the raffle to win prizes from Impala Skates and Szade.

All the proceeds will be donated to The Victorian Pride Centre and Black Rainbow. At the bar, find a curated events drink menu with contributions from Absolut Vodka, Headline Acts and Heaps Normal.

Last year’s event, headed by Jamaica Moana, Julai, Gay Roberto and Mz Rizk, was an overwhelming success with fans showing up and turning it out.

Since its inception in 2006, Section 8 has been a festive favourite in the heart of the CBD. The covered outdoor venue is teeming with good vibes and entry is always free, meaning the space is always packed to the brim.
