Sasha Velour announces her Travesty tour is coming to Belfast

Global drag icon, Sasha Velour is bringing her newest one-queen drag spectacular Travesty to Europe, including a show in Belfast’s Waterfront Hall on 25th May 2026.

Travesty traces the secret queer history of a single spot throughout time — A witch burns in a field; a clown builds a theater; an underground gay bar rises up against the police. As Velour embodies different characters through a series of jaw-dropping lip-syncs spectacles, she invites you to take part in the cycle of existence, resistance, and camp that IS drag.

Part performance art, part history, part call to action, Travesty will have you screaming at the top of your lungs and dancing in the aisles.

Celebrated for her influential visuals and her emotional live performances, Velour is poised to take her art to the next level with Travesty. “Travesty is unlike any show I’ve created," Velour says. "It is the purest, but also the most radical and experimental version of drag I’ve ever put on stage. No apologies or explanations, just ART!

"Drag is for everyone, because our message of freedom, love, and authenticity is universal. People have been doing ‘drag’—dressing up, blurring gender, and telling stories—since the dawn of time. With Travesty, I wanted to honor those traditions, while exploring where we can go next.”
