This year we’re levelling things up. Bigger venue, bigger production and a stacked lineup of DJs bringing the energy for the final night of the festival.
Taking over the Marlborough Trade Hall, Euphoria is the official Pride Wairau Closing Party and the ultimate way to celebrate the end of Pride week.
Inspired by the legendary underground queer dancefloors of New York, the Trade Hall will transform into a full club experience designed to bring the crowd right into the heart of the action. Expect big sound, immersive lighting and a dancefloor where DJs, performers and the crowd feed off the same energy all night long.
Headlining the night is Aroha (Melbourne), bringing an international club sound to the Pride Wairau stage. Known for high-energy sets rooted in house, disco and underground club culture, Aroha has built a reputation across Australia’s queer nightlife scene for sets that keep dancefloors locked in from start to finish.
Joining the lineup is HalfQueen (Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland), delivering fierce club energy and unapologetic dancefloor selections. Known for bold sets that move between house, techno and high-energy club sounds, HalfQueen brings a powerful presence to the decks and a deep connection to queer dance culture.
Also taking the stage is Jousey (Ōtautahi / Christchurch), a rapidly rising force in Aotearoa’s club scene. Known for electrifying sets blending bass, house and global club influences, Jousey has performed at major festivals including Rhythm & Vines and co-founded the queer nightlife collective Nörty Club, helping create inclusive spaces for diverse dancefloors across the country.
Rounding out the lineup are ThoCat (Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland) and local favourite SwimCap, bringing their signature sounds to set the tone and keep the energy flowing throughout the night.
Throughout the evening the iconic House of Givenchy will bring ballroom energy to the floor, celebrating the roots of queer club culture and supporting the DJs with performance throughout the night.
Whether you’ve been part of Pride Wairau all week or you’re joining for the finale, Euphoria is where the festival ends – and the party begins.
Tickets are strictly limited and expected to sell out. Secure yours early.
