rage: WorldPride

Party time with Kylie, Olivia, Queen, Cher, Melissa, Liza, Culture Club, Sylvester, Pet Shop Boys, Village People, RuPaul, kd and more.

Here’s how rage is celebrating WorldPride today and tonight.

Come Saturday night we’ll be celebrating in true rage style with a post-parade party-playlist to keep your revelry radiant right up til’ sunrise. First, to tie a big rainbow ribbon on the last week of rage Goes Retro programming, we’ll be digging into the archives to play music videos not aired since the 1980s from LGBTQIA+ artists and allies like Erasure and Dead Or Alive, then we’ll be diving into the classics from artists like Sylvester, Diana Ross and Kylie Minogue, then playing some of our favourite contemporary clips from queer artists and allies from across the globe.

Join us for the rage Sydney WorldPride Party Special this Saturday February 18 from 10:30am to Midday and again from 10:30pm, straight after the parade, on ABC TV.

  1. Missing from the playlist are Alicia Bridges, Dannii Minogue, Pauline Pantsdown, Courtney Act, Anthony Callea, Madonna, Queen’s I Want to Break Free and the Simpsons (there’s a Simpsons drag show as part of Adelaide Fringe). It’s not fair that the special messes with retro month. Why does the article say February 18 when it’s the 25th?
