Brace yourselves. Metalesque Fest storms back into Portland for another wild, heavy year. Now celebrating its 11th anniversary, this year’s festival unleashes two unforgettable nights. Expect a chaotic, beautiful collision of burlesque, drag, aerial, pole, and circus arts, all set to a blistering soundtrack of heavy metal.
The madness unfolds at Nova PDX with an elite lineup headlined by Qween Quan. Voted 2024’s number one most influential burlesque performer in the world, this festival darling is a total swoonfest with moves that cut through silk. Expect the unexpected from the Venusian creator of queer content, costumier, and New Orleans icon. Beyond headlining the main stage, Qween Quan will also host exclusive festival workshops for performers and fans ready to level up their skills.
