Ciao care sorelle!
Siamo felice to announce that CIAO ITALIA, our Italy-themed date and one of the highlights in the calendar, returns for its third consecutive year with TWO ROOMS OF MUSIC and an Italian cast featuring DJs SERGISTENZ, and MAU, plus queen SISSY LEA from Drag Race Italia.
Mi amore, questo is what we're cooking up:
BAR ROOM - ITALOCURA
As you walk into the venue, sergistenz will greet you in the bar room with the sexiest italo-beats. Born under the ashes of Vesuvius and fuelled by pizza crusts and limoncello, sergistenz brings his Italodisco selections to Lady Olé with a set he calls ItaLocura. After years in Rome, spinning through the most deranged queer nights of the capital (Amigdala, Neuro, Glamda), he is now ready to spike his Aperol Spritz with churros and serve up Italodisco gems to quench the thirstiest dancefloors. Expect to leave the party screaming one thing only: Mamma mia!
CLUB ROOM - CIAO ITALIA
The club room at the back will be turned into a cross between Torremolinos and Rimini, where you will dance to the best in Italian, Spanish, and Eurohits, and watch a few memorable drag performances. Read on.
Mau (dj) hails from South Rome and South London, blending his passion for dance music with an irresistible love for social connections. A retired party animal, Mau is all about creating the perfect atmosphere, ensuring the dancefloor stays alive and smiling with the best beats.
A friend of Lady Olè since the Pelucas y Tacones years, he will bring joy and good vibes with an Italian flavour, one track at a time.
Sissy Lea (drag) hails from Sicilia, and started her drag career in London in 2019 after winning a lip sync contest. She then went on to be part of Drag Race Italia S.3 cast, gifting audiences with some memorable looks and performances. Live singing, and elegance is her trademark.
Dramala Tina (drag) and Alejandro Asencio (dj) will bring the Lady Olé essence to keep things balanced, even though we all know that Italians do it better.
But wait, rumour has it that these Ciao Italia editions have dancers onstage? It's not a rumour, it's a fact. Fierce dancers The Ginger Viking and Mauri will bring fire, sass, attitude, and HEAT to the Lady Olé stage.
What to expect? nothing but the best of both worlds (and the sexiest men in London)

NOTE:
Thank you! By coming to our events you are supporting a self-sustained community party & collective that roots back to 2005 and has received awards and international recognition. We have built a houseparty-like environment and safe space for the LGBTQIA+ Spanish-speaking community in London and all their friends, which nowadays accounts for basically every nationality in mainland Europe and the UK making it one of the most authentic, friendly, and life-affirming queer parties in London. Countless friendships, international support networks, and artistic projects that enrich London's diversity have their roots laid on our dancefloor.
You are part of much more than a party or a venue.
Always grateful,
Lady Olé
