    Darkroom on stage

    By Lesbique & Queer.red @ Plein Theater, Sajetplein 39, Amsterdam

    Bringing an evening of queer pleasure to Plein Theater through film, performances and space to talk about our experiences in queer sex in public events and spaces.

    Lesbique has become an institution in Amsterdam, carving out a queer and intersectional space in the heart of gay male centered pleasure at Club Church.

    For this event, Lesbique presents in collaboration with queer.red performances and a film program curated by queer.red - Netherland’s Sex Worker Film & Art Festival.

    Our voices, bodies and perspectives belong in the spotlight, not only during pride but also in the world and in general. Join us in celebrating queer joy through performances and sex worker-made films. Together we will dare to dream of our most pleasurable futures.

  3. Center of Attention: Pleasure

    Center of Attention: Pleasure

    By The Pleasure Society @ Huis Willet-Holthuysen, Herengracht 605, Amsterdam

    For one evening, the historic rooms of Huis Willet-Holthuysen will become a stage for queer pleasure, sexuality and erotic performances. Wander through rooms where contemporary queer perspectives meet 17th-century architecture — through workshops, performances, sound and conversations that explore pleasure as a language of resistance, connection and joy. An evening on which Amsterdam’s queer communities leave their mark on the walls of a house that has borne witness to change for centuries.

    Vincent op Vrijdag x The Queer Agenda

    By The queer agenda @ Van Gogh Museum, Museumplein 6, Amsterdam

    During World Pride 2026, Vincent on Friday is all about queer culture, community and self-expression. Together with The Queer Agenda, we're handing the stage over to queer artists, makers and collectives. Inspired by Vincent's fearless way of doing things his own way, we celebrate the power of people who carve out their own path.

    The Queer Agenda presents
    This edition of Vincent on Friday is all about The Queer Games. Are you Team Van Gogh or Team The Queer Agenda? Expect quizzes, comedy, performances and a whole lot of gaymes. With you as the audience, surrounded by Van Gogh's greatest hits.

    Grab your tickets now. We can't wait to see you there. Get ready to be Van Gaghed!

    Programme
    Move to the sounds of Rachel Green and performances by Eirini Kakopierou and others. Join a talk on chosen family, hosted by Noah de Campos Neto, or explore The Queer Agenda's photography exhibition on queer censorship on social media.

    During a shibari performance by Antartica & Qotton, you can try your hand at life drawing. Put your knowledge to the test in the ‘De Slimste Queer’ pub quiz, hosted by Tessel ten Zweege and Elmer.

    Rather switch your brain off for a bit? Laugh along at Mezrab's Comedy Café, cheer on the many queer battles in our boxing ring, hosted by Hunkydory, or challenge other visitors to a few classic Dutch games. And of course, we'll wrap up the night on the dance floor with AK Soundsystem.

  3. Transpodium

    Paradiso, Weteringschans 6, Amsterdam

    Transpodium

    Paradiso, Weteringschans 6, Amsterdam

    Deze zomer keert Trans Podium terug naar Paradiso. Tijdens deze avond krijgen transgender personen de kans om hun stem letterlijk en figuurlijk te laten horen op het podium. Zoals eerdere edities lieten zien, kun je een veelzijdige avond verwachten met optredens van deelnemers die hun talent delen: van zang en spoken word tot instrumentale muziek en andere vormen van performance. Er is ruimte voor expressie, zichtbaarheid en het vieren van stemgeluid in al zijn vormen.

    De avond vindt plaats midden in Amsterdam Pride, wanneer lhbtiq+ organisaties in de stad een maand lang activiteiten organiseren rondom zichtbaarheid, gemeenschap en de vrijheid om jezelf te zijn. Dit jaar krijgt die periode een extra lading: voor het eerst komt ook WorldPride naar Amsterdam, ter ere van het feit dat het 25 jaar geleden is dat hier het eerste huwelijk tussen mensen van hetzelfde geslacht werd voltrokken.

  3. The Patchwork Family 5 Year Anniversary

    Paradiso, Weteringschans 6, Amsterdam

    The Patchwork Family 5 Year Anniversary

    Paradiso, Weteringschans 6, Amsterdam

    Dit jaar viert The Patchwork Family haar vijfde verjaardag en iedereen* is uitgenodigd voor het verjaardagsfeest van het decennium. We vieren vijf jaar compromisloze glamour, sexy protesten en het heetste talent. Voor één nacht brengt The Patchwork Family de community samen die het collectief vanaf het allereerste begin heeft gedragen, voor een avond vol collectieve uitbundigheid.

    Voor deze Grand Family Affair begint de avond met een energieke Best Of-show: een herinterpretatie van de meest iconische performances en momenten van de afgelopen vijf jaar. Verwacht een achtbaanrit van veertig minuten vol seks, drama en extravagantie, tot leven gebracht door een nieuwe generatie makers naast vertrouwde gezichten.

    Afterparty
    Daarna volgt niet zomaar een afterparty, maar The Grand Family Affair. Na de Best Of-show nemen dj’s Europarking, Faggatron, Slimfit en YoungWoman de Grote Zaal over, begeleid door spraakmakende performances. De Kelder wordt omgetoverd tot een archeologische opgravingssite, waar bezoekers via een multimediale installatie de geschiedenis van The Patchwork Family kunnen ontdekken, aangevuld met performances en dj-sets. Bezoekers krijgen bovendien de kans om zich te laten fotograferen door Kees de Klein, al jarenlang de favoriete fotograaf van The Patchwork Family, of een iconische Family Affair-airbrush tattoo te laten zetten.
