NYE: WORM x Lesbival: Queer Futures

Join us for a very special NYE celebration!

This New Year’s Eve, Lesbival opens a portal at WORM into Queer Futures: a multidisciplinary sci-fi program in which queer creators, thinkers, and performers construct alternative realities.

Like the queer community, sci-fi transcends existing systems and poses questions about gender, identity, and power. Sci-fi allows us to bridge the gap between our powerful queer history and the hopeful, radical possibilities of our queer futures. As our queer future and our present are increasingly under pressure, coming together is more important than ever: to hold each other, to create, to imagine, and to collectively build the future we want.

We collaborate with a powerful group of (primarily Rotterdam-based) collectives to shape this future: Queer Gym, Queer Cinema, Queer Salsa, The Hangout010, DJ collective AMPFEMININE, Telemagic, Genderclowns, and Fossielvrij, among others.

the experience:
The first activities start at 18:00 with a mix of workshops, performances, installations, conversations, and playful yet urgent interventions, followed by a communal meal to kick off the night together. As the clock strikes 23:00, the energy shifts into a night of DJs, electronic sets, and unexpected encounters that keep the dance floor alive until 06:00. A layered timeline in which you can connect, reflect and dance.

tickets:
Choose your experience with a day and night combo ticket (17:30–06:00), or a night-only ticket (23:00–06:00).

Get your tickets here.

Mark your calendars, gather your chosen family, and join us as we step into 2026 and beyond. This is not just a party, it’s a movement.
