Born in the underground of Boorloo/Perth, Cherry Bomb carved out a riotous space where drag, burlesque, live music, and sweaty queer chaos could thrive outside the mainstream. What started five years ago in the neon-soaked basement of Lucy’s Love Shack has exploded into one of Australia’s most notorious queer alternative parties—a home for punks, misfits, sapphics, and every soul who refuses to fit the mold. More than just a night out, Cherry Bomb became a rallying cry for community, rebellion, and unfiltered self-expression.

Now, Melbourne, it’s your turn. We’re bringing the grit, the glitter, and the glorious mess of Cherry Bomb to Stay Gold—an institution of live music perfectly suited for our brand of loud, sweaty, and unapologetically queer mayhem. Expect the same radical energy and the feeling of family that’s defined us in Perth. What started as a basement secret in Boorloo now takes over Stay Gold.
