Every Friday and Saturday night from May 23, the good folks at Goros Brisbane are saying goodbye to genre loyalty and hello to full-send party mode. Baile and RnB to soothe the soul? Boot-scootin tunes? 2010s bangers, pop divas, punk rock, and party anthems? They’ve got it all.
With DJs like Kate’s Brother, Baby Paws, Eljae, and a bunch of other certified legends, plus giveaways like Central Cee tickets, Gaga VIP, and an all-expenses-paid trip to Snow Machine in New Zealand, all you have to do is choose your theme and get the groupchat together.
Here’s the run-down:
SOUL’D OUT — FRIDAY MAY 23
They’re opening with heat. Welcome to Soul’d Out: a sweaty, sexy night of RnB, Afrobeat and Baile funk served hot by Kate’s Brother, Baby Paws and Varnan. Expect rhythm, body rolls and pure soul. Oh, and someone’s walking away with 2x GA tickets to Central Cee. Get amongst it here.
RECESSION CORE — FRIDAY MAY 30
For when your rent’s overdue but your serotonin’s spiking. Recession Core is a safe space to scream the 2010s bangers you used to ironically love and now fully adore. Pop anthems, guilty pleasures, and zero shame. Varnan, Bergy and Apollocco are on duty. They’ll also have two tickets to the Cancelled Podcast with Tana Mongeau and Brooke Schofield at Fortitude Music Hall up for grabs, so get on the guestlist here.
WILD, WILD EAST — FRIDAY JUNE 6
Saddle up, cowpoke. They’re turning the izakaya into a rodeo. Wild, Wild East is part hoedown, part Tokyo fever dream. Expect line dancing, twangy bangers and karaoke chaos, courtesy of Horsey and Stanfield. One lucky legend scores a $500 karaoke party that you can sign up for here — boots and spurs encouraged.
MAYHEM BALL — FRIDAY JUNE 13
Mayhem Ball is a full-glam tribute to the pop royalty and drag powerhouses that have shaped music since the start. With Ermapaige, Ritchie Le Strange and Eljae spinning floor-fillers and fierce energy, this one’s for the main character in all of us. Werk the dancefloor and win 2x VIP Lady Gaga: Mayhem Tour tix when you sign up here.
IT’S A SCENE — FRIDAY JUNE 20
It’s a Scene is Goros’ ode to punk, indie sleaze and glorious mosh pit chaos. Let Eljae and Koby take you back to your Tumblr-core era, with the bonus being going into the running to win two tix to Good Things 2025. Long live emo, and sign up here.
GOROS HOUSE PARTY — FRIDAY JUNE 27
Finale time, baby. This one’s gonna be all killer, no filler – with classic bangers, messy sing-alongs, dancefloor anthems, and unfiltered chaos. DJs Kate’s Brother, Bergy and Varnan are on aux. And at the end of the night, one lucky legend gets the Snow Machine NZ prize pack – entry, accom, lift passes, the works. Start pre-packing your ski gear. Or don’t. It’s a house party. Check out the info here.
Let’s not forget the parties they’re throwing on each following Saturday either, with DJs spinning tunes from 9pm well into the night. Goros just keeps delivering, it seems. Seriously, no one is stopping you from getting up on that dancefloor, so go wild, Brisbane.
