Tropical Trash Disco:  with Briefs Factory

Defy gravity and climb sky high as we send out BrisFest 2022 in the company of the stars 💫

RAISE THE ROOF with Briefs Factory at Fiume Rooftop Bar.

Caught between solid earth and the stars, you’re invited into six universes filled with music, art, misfits and mayhem as Brisbane's most vibrant artists carve out ethereal spaces, each as unique and bespoke as the next.

TROPICAL TRASH DISCO

For ONE NIGHT ONLY, Tropical Trash Disco takes over one of Brisbane’s most exclusive hotel rooftops and transforms it into a scandalous subtropical haunt, inspired by Studio 54. This is an evening of decadence, drag, culinary delights and cocktails, complete with audacious performance antics and a wicked dance floor.

Dance the night away with an icon of Brisbane's drag scene, Vollie LaVont, wayward waiters, Disco Sallys, pop up performances and Go Go creatures to boot — with sounds provided by the notorious DJ Sveta.

Escape with the juiciest cocktail of Brief Factory artists who will meet and greet, wine and dine and entertain your kaftans off with a sweaty fever dream of disco, funk, house and soul in an outrageous 3 hr extravaganza.

Don’t miss this extraordinary immersive evening, filled with art, music, good food and wine and great company. Your evening includes a 3 hour food and beverage package so grab your friends, make it a date night and Raise the Roof on BrisFest closing weekend at Tropical Trash Disco!

🧡Curated around a single colour palette, the only way into this tropical cocktail is to evoke Tequila Sunrise Disco energy. And don’t forget the colourful umbrella🧡

Featuring 

Briefs Factory featuring an icon of Brisbane's drag scene, Vollie LaVont, with DJ Sveta and photographer Joel Devereux.
