Violet Chachki isn\u2019t just any drag queen who lip-syncs to a song. She\u2019s worked as a muse for Prada and Moschino, and that fashion background is evident in every detail of her performances. On Friday, July 24, she\u2019ll be performing at the Melkweg during Club Chrome, the venue\u2019s WorldPride program, with a show that blends drag, striptease, and synth-pop into something that goes beyond the average lip-sync act. Fetish-inspired costumes, theatrical elegance, and performance art form the core of the evening.<\/h2>\n

Chachki won RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race Season 7 and went on to build a career as a burlesque performer who is just as at home on the catwalk as she is on stage. She is joined by four support acts: The Countess, Miss Abby OMG, Puma Hilton, and Eve Fatale. Together, they put on a show that keeps the energy going all evening, from the first opener to the closing act.<\/p>\n

The costumes change with each song, ranging from tight fetish leather to flowing high-fashion silhouettes, each one just a little different from the previous act.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The show itself is built around songs like \u2018Bettie\u2019 and \u2018A Lot More Me,\u2019 tracks in which Chachki brings her collaboration with Allie X to the stage. Don\u2019t expect a low-key set: the music is synth-pop with a dance-pop edge, made to get you moving, not to listen to from the back of the room. The costumes change with the songs, ranging from tight fetish leather to flowing high-fashion silhouettes, each one just a little different from the previous act.<\/p>\n

Club Chrome is the temporary WorldPride program at the Melkweg, and this evening fits right in: avant-garde, groundbreaking, and centered on artists who treat drag as an art form rather than a joke. The venue is wheelchair-accessible and has an accessible restroom. Please note that the show will feature bright lights and loud music.<\/p>\n

After the show, the party moves to Skatecafe for STRUT, the official afterparty of the evening. For those who\u2019d rather stay a little longer at Chachki first: VIP tickets grant access to a meet-and-greet and early entry before regular guests.<\/p>\n

For this evening, De Melkweg on Lijnbaansgracht isn\u2019t just an ordinary concert venue\u2014it\u2019s a stage for drag at its most theatrical. Anyone familiar with *Drag Race* on TV will see here what happens when that energy is unleashed across an entire stage and backed by a house band playing synth-pop.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
