OUTstages returns to heat up your winter in January and February 2026, with shows from leading queer artists from across the country, alongside local performance-makers, plus a host of free events throughout the festival. There’s theatre, music, drag, cabaret and pop-up events!

The lineup brings together theatrical pieces shaped by the present moment, with artists responding to their own identities and reflecting on the queer history that shaped us through innovative, boundary-pushing storytelling; soaring music; and experimental new performance. Don’t forget to check out ourfree events for artists and audiences, from drag shows to income tax workshops. Check out the calendar, browse the line-up and GET OUT to the theatre!
