    Sextatic dance

    Radion, Louwesweg 1, Amsterdam

    With Flowerguy & Friends. Come dance and play.
    Pay what you can

    (S)extatic Dance is an evening where freedom is the starting point. No strict rules, no judgement. Just awareness, connection and consent to be yourself. Completely.

    The dance floor is a place to feel, to move, to discover. To try out a new version of yourself. To let go. Preferably sober. If you do want to have a drink, choose wisely.

    This is for the oddballs who never found their place, and also for those who fancy a taste of a different nest. This is for anyone looking for more than just a night out. Come as you are, all genders welcome.

    Liberation day

    Het Homomonument, Westermarkt, Amsterdam

    3–5 pm – Het Danspaleis
    A good old-fashioned dance party for older people and anyone who loves to swing. The DJ (PD) will be spinning old favourites from the archives of stars of yesteryear, such as Johnny Hoes, Louis Prima, Lieve Hugo and Doris Day. From sing-alongs to tearjerkers, from merengue to English waltzes and from polonaises to belly dancing: at Het Danspaleis, it’s always party time. With Het Danspaleis, we want to give a special place in the programme to the older generation, who fought hard in the past for the rights we now enjoy as the LGBTQIA+ community. Come and dance and flirt at the Homomonument!

    5pm – 11pm – Superball & Sweetie Darling
    The two organisations are joining forces once again to celebrate freedom at the Homomonument. Superball is Europe’s biggest drag battle, held every year at Paradiso, and Sweetie Darling is an international queer house party where freedom of self-expression is paramount. In short, it’s party time at the Homomonument!

    BIXARIA

    Melkweg, Lijnbaansgracht 234A, Amsterdam

    BIXARIA is an Amsterdam based Queer Brazilian Club Night focused on creating space for shaking all the r4bas! In Brazilian language, “shaking the raba” means dancing with your butt up and down as much as you want, in whatever way you would like to and as far as your imagination can take you!. It’s about fun, joy, sensuality and collective creativity, the way we like it in the streets of Brazil.

    BIXARIA holds space for people who want to explore their bodies in whatever moment they are. It comes from movements centered on immigr4nts, BIPOC queers, experimental and dissent people. We don’t assume anyone’s gender or orientation and we’re not focused on how anyone “looks like”. So don’t be afraid, you are queer enough and everybody is welcome! We love you as you are and the goal is to have fun! We have a door policy and a Gender Awareness team to help keep the night smooth.

    Expect contemporary Brazilian Funk, Brega Funk, Techno Brega, Brazilian House, Dembow and experiments with all of that. DJs, performances, MCs and most importantly, you. Each edition has a theme, so feel free to dress up and help embody it with us. Come alone if you want and arrive early! You can make friends here, let us know you are on your own if you want.

  2. LoveBall

    LoveBall

    By MEIJT. @ The other side, Rigakade 10, Amsterdam

    Relive the past. Celebrate love. Dance into the future. ✨💖

    Loveball lands on sacred ground. The Other Side — a venue where nightlife lives, where freedom is felt, and where the energy of the dancefloor takes center stage. A space that invites you to let go, connect, and fully surrender to the music. 🌙🔥🎶

    Loveball is the official opening event of Pride Amsterdam 2026. On Saturday, July 11, 2026, from 10:00 PM until 5:00 AM, Pride Amsterdam opens with a night where the city comes together to celebrate freedom, inclusivity, and love. The Other Side Amsterdam sets the stage for this unforgettable kickoff. 🌈🤍

    Loveball is rooted in the legacy of Amsterdam’s legendary club culture. In the 80s and 90s, venues like Roxy and it defined a generation. They were places where house music, art, fashion and activism collided. Where the night was extravagant, provocative and radically free. Where self-expression was not only allowed, but celebrated. ✨👠

    That spirit lives on at Loveball — powered by Diva Mayday, the creative force behind the event and one of the shining stars of the night. As an icon of expression, performance and unapologetic glamour, Diva Mayday embodies the very essence of Loveball and brings its vision to life on and beyond the dancefloor. 💎👑💋

    Expect an immersive musical journey driven by house music, featuring leading DJs and live performances by national and international artists. From deep, hypnotic grooves to uplifting, high-energy house sounds that will carry you through the night and into the early morning. 🔊🖤🌅

    Line-up to be announced shortly. 👀✨

    Surrounding this is a world of spectacular entertainment, bold performances and unexpected acts that stimulate the senses and complete the Loveball experience. 🔥💫

    LoveBall gives back to the community:

    At LoveBall, it’s not just about glitter, glamour, and dancing, we also celebrate the people who made it possible for us to live freely today. That’s why we support queer elders: the pioneers of the LGBTQ+ community who, in times of far less acceptance, fought for visibility, rights, and the freedom to be themselves.

    Many elderly people, including queer elders, experience loneliness today. Some don’t feel safe being open about their identity in care homes due to fear of misunderstanding, even though they spent their lives fighting for love and equality. With LoveBall, we want to help change that through a financial contribution and by encouraging attention, connection, and joy, making special moments possible that enhance their wellbeing and quality of life.

    Visitors will also have the opportunity on the night itself to donate voluntarily and directly support initiatives that uplift queer elders.

    Together, we don’t just celebrate the present, we honor the past and help build a future in which no one is forgotten.

    Loveball is more than a party. It is the beginning of Pride. 🏳️‍🌈

    It is a tribute to our past — and a celebration of what’s to come. 💞🚀

    Love is not just a feeling. 💗It’s a celebration. Welcome to Loveball. 🎉 ✨

    And for those looking to explore beyond the music: MisterB will host an XXL playroom — a dedicated space where guests can connect, la play, and engage intimately with one another as part of the night’s experience.

    It’s a queer safe space where freedom, self-expression, and heavy beats come together — where community meets intensity on the dancefloor.
