Celebrate the opening of Asia TOPA and Club 8!

We’re teaming up with our good friends at Big Bao to bring you a truly auspicious line up of delectable musicians and performers.

From cheeky drag by Scarlett So Hung Son (Scotty So) to the radiant music icon Rainbow Chan and the ballroom-meets-performance-art stylings of Aurora Labeija (Thailand), we’re turning up the party to 11 for a truly joyful kickoff to the triennial.

This event is strictly 18+
