LEZFEST 2: Barn Burner Austin Pride 2026

Scissor Sisters present LEZFEST 2: Barn Burner at Hotel Vegas & The Volstead Lounge on Thursday, August 20, as part of the Austin Pride celebrations. It's a multi-stage night that runs from 6 PM until 1 AM, with the program spread across three different areas of the venue.

The Hotel Patio Stage is where the night kicks off, with doors opening at 6 PM and the main acts gathering there. The lineup includes Locuust, a burlesque show by Heaven Starr and Mandy Mezcal, a Jell-O Wrestling contest refereed by Nik, and a LezFest Pageant hosted by Bobby Pudrido. Along the patio, LGBTQIA vendors will be set up throughout the evening.

While the patio holds the main events, the other two stages keep things moving. The Volstead Stage is dedicated to DJ sets from Nephelem, DJ KSHAL, and DragonnQueen, and the Hotel Vegas Stage is home to the night's karaoke, hosted by Fenner. Between the three, you can drift from the pageant and the wrestling on the patio to the dance floor at the Volstead and the open mic at Hotel Vegas.

Entry is $10 and the event is 21+. Doors open at 6 PM, and the whole thing runs until 1 AM.
