★★★★★ riotous queer musical. A live band with powerhouse vocals from drag superstars. A revolution on stage. Acid's Reign is BACK!

Starring Drag Race UK stars Victoria Scone and Scarlett Harlett, alongside award winning artists Sé Carr / Jamie Fuxx and Ash Weir plus Gigi Zahir (fresh from supporting Chappell Roan), this daring blend of drag, cabaret, and climate activism is preparing to storm the London stage.

It's 2019, and a new supergroup has burst onto the scene, intent on challenging climate change through drag and song (obviously). But as time passes, interest wanes … until a tempting commercial opportunity comes knocking which threatens their moral compass. 

Will they get famous - or stay radical?

Expect original bangers, camp mayhem and razor sharp performances in this unmissable, glittery call-to-arms.
