Manchester’s night for Black gay men. Not a one-off, not a sex party, just a proper night out that should have existed here years ago.

Get Ready for Blackout!

There is nowhere in Manchester like this. That’s the whole reason it exists.

Blackout is a room curated for Black and brown queer people. People who move the same way, who want somewhere to actually be themselves on a Friday without explaining anything to anyone.

Come to dance, come to talk, come to meet people you’d never meet otherwise. New faces, old friends, a few connections you didn’t plan for. Whatever comes out of the room is yours to take.

First edition. Amazonia Lounge, Friday 25 September. Doors 11pm, over 18s, ID required.
