Queer Futures 2026

On 31 December 2026, Queer Futures returns for its second edition in WORM. A New Year’s Eve gathering for club kids, artists, dreamers, dancers, performers, lovers, friends and strangers.

WORM will transform into a space where self-expression becomes collective power. Where dressing up is a declaration. Where art becomes a pathway. Where nightlife becomes a movement.

We start at 18:00, so join us for a programme featuring workshops, conversations, performances and a shared community dinner. Together, we’ll reflect, connect and imagine the futures we want to create.

As the night unfolds, we’ll move into a celebration of queer nightlife with DJs, performers and artists guiding us into the new year.

In a time of backlash, fear and uncertainty, joy becomes resistance. Connection becomes a strategy. Celebration becomes survival.

We are proud to shape this edition together with a growing network of (mainly) Rotterdam-based collectives, including Queer Gym, DnDykes, GenderBendingCruiseParty, The  Hangout010, Lesbival, Fossielvrij and many others.

Tickets go live on 20 November so watch WORM’s agenda.

Welcome back to Queer Futures!
