Lushroom Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 Is there drag at Glastonbury? Where is it? Has there already been acts announced that I've missed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 Maybe in Mavericks i.e. late night in the Poetry and Words tent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripcurl85 Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 (edited) Pretty sure NYC Downlow will cater for drag. Unsure where else on site, maybe later evening in the theatre and circus. Edited May 20, 2022 by ripcurl85 Later on in theatre and circus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm honestly surprised there isn't a dedicated drag tent, seems like the sort of thing Glastonbury would champion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless there's somewhere new this year, there isn't a tent that specialises in it. As to why not, I dunno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJP Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 Probably NYC Downlow but more like your East London crunchy type drag. Also ShITV/Shangri-La I don’t know where you’d put Drag Race type queens tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danssol Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 2017 there was definitely drag in the unfairground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantkatestacks Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 Yep NYC Downlow and all off stage in Maceos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twiggy553 Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 I’ll be going in drag at least one night. Had fun trying on some outfit combinations last night - Usually end up at the Downlow but main concern is getting too hot in there 🥵 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyseven Posted May 22, 2022 Report Share Posted May 22, 2022 Years ago I remember seeing a drag act in a venue in the SE Corner called something like the Snake Pit. I remember the singing Poison by Alice Cooper while swinging on a swing. No idea where it was, I was a bit off it at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d hope they’re not supportive there’s been a lot of debate on whether drag is degrading to women, but even to the extent that is true, its impact on perceptions of women has been so negligible that the comparison does more to trivialise blackface. It also seems somewhat hateful against something that gives so many people a means of self-expression and empowerment. I don’t think that was ever the case for blackface. But as a queen i’m willing to accept I’m biased to some extent… Edited May 22, 2022 by Twiggy553 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fred quimby Posted May 22, 2022 Report Share Posted May 22, 2022 I have seen a Drag competition in NYC Downlow, some years ago now so not sure if it still goes on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glast0baby Posted May 22, 2022 Report Share Posted May 22, 2022 I've never managed to make it as always put off by huge queues, but I understand NYC Downlow is a venue that does a lot of drag and drag adjacent stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
