The Party
- Next Edition – Awaiting dates – “Drag is Dead” – Halloween Edition.
- Draghouse puts Drag inclusivity at the forefront and create a space that’s open to ANY and ALL Drag performers – regardless of their anatomy, gender identity, or experience level.
The Venue
- Vega is a live music venue on Vesterbro in Copenhagen and ranks among the nation’s most popular and respected music and party venues. The building that now houses VEGA was initially called The People’s House.
- Vesterbro’s claim to fame was its status as the red-light district of Copenhagen. Today, the popular neighbourhood is equally cool and authentic, offering offbeat shops, art galleries and bars. Within the wider area, Kødbyen, the meatpacking district, you will find art spaces, including Galleri Bo Bjerggaard and V1 Gallery, plus restaurants offering a mix of international and New Nordic cuisine.
- VEGA is one of the youngest buildings in Denmark to be listed for special architectural interest. Design features such as the dark wood panelling, the mahogany floors, the friezes and the inventive details of railings and lamps make this building an architectural gem.
Other Editions
- December 2026 – Awaiting dates – Christmas Special (Typically early December).
