Advance tickets have SOLD OUT; first come, first serve on the door from 10PM!
Dandy turns another year older (don't ask, not telling), so we're throwing a big birthday bonanza over the Bear Bash weekend!
BELLY RUB is Dandy's big, beefy, annual party for the bears, the dads, the cubs, the chubs, and those who love 'em. It's where we let it all out, let our bodies take up space, and celebrate our physical diversity - soft, slender, muscular, hairy, smooth, cuddly, jiggly, old, young; this is for YOU!
Come down to The Brewers on Canal Street on 4 May 2025, and party with us from 10pm right through to 3am. As always, we promise ONLY the very BEST in alt. dance, indie bangers, hyperpop, disco faves, nu rave throwbacks, gay icons, queer noise… and anything else that takes our fancy.
Your resident DJs Deany Sevigny, ADBT, Adaimia, and Sugar Puff Daddy will be keeping you moving right through the night. We promise everything from Lady Gaga to Lady Sovereign, Charli xcx to Chvrches, Kylie to Kim Petras, Rina Sawayama to Rammstein, Peaches to Pendulum, SOPHIE to Skrillex – and much more.
PLUS we've got some extra special guests flying into town to help us celebrate - the international sensations Beltran and Mochi, and star of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Sum Ting Wong!
As always at a Dandy party, the drinks will be cold, the pizza will be hot, and the tunes will be hottest of all. We're excited to see you there.
Advance tickets go on sale at midday, Monday 24 February 2025, for £8 (+ booking fee). Tickets on the door at the event are £10.
If you are a GBBB weekend ticket holder, or work in Manchester's LGBT Village, and intend to pay on the door, you will receive 10% discount if you show proof of either of the above.
