This August, Mother returns to Electric Picnic with Mother After Dark, our late-night celebration of queer joy, radical self-expression, and dancefloor liberation under the stars.

From 11PM to 4AM, Friday through Sunday, the Mother stage will once again transform into a high-octane queer dance party beneath the trees! Complete with DJs, drag, dancers, kink, and pure queer energy pulsing into the night.

Mother DJs Rocky T. Delgado, Ruth Kavanagh, and Ghostboy will be joined across the weekend by special guests Kelly-Anne Byrne and Glamo behind the decks, keeping the energy high til the wee small hours.

The cast of drag and performance artists lighting up the stage includes Abrakedavre, Annie Queeries, APHRA, Avatar Guille, BetteDavidEyes, Blaq Coffee, Blue Flame, Bonnie Boux, Chanel, Cornflake Girl, Crimson leCreme, Donna Fella, Elle LeGent, Haus of W.I.G, Kora Elle, Liam Bee, Naomi Diamond, Nokia, Pixie Woo, Saint Marco, Scarlett Van Tassel, Shaqira Knightly, Terri Fierce, Vicky Volltz, and Viola Gayvis.

A celebration of queer community, creativity, and connection, Mother After Dark is an Electric Picnic institution, a space for freedom, joy, and late-night magic, soundtracked by some of Ireland’s most exciting queer talent.

This ain’t just a picnic.

This is Mother After Dark.
