This July YO! SISSY is hitting Berlin. YO! SISSY is sort of a gay music festival slash two-day party fagfest. A bit like Lovebox when Lovebox was relevant. Think of the craziest weekend you’ve had in East London, then throw in some hot Germanic men, an electro arsefuck beat, and loads of kaleidoscopic queerclash nonsense.

The lineup is RIDICULOUS. First off there’s Christeene, who’s a ‘drag act’ but that doesn’t do the whole concept that she is any justice at all. She runs around shopping malls in Dallas covered in shit. That’s one of her acts. It’s not exactly a cover of Let It Go is it? She’s got some singles out, including the ever-seminal ‘Tears From My Pussy’, and let’s not forget modern classic ‘Fix My Dick’. She’s repellent and amazing. Really hard to witness in the best possible way.
There’s also underground queer hip-hop kingpin Cakes Da Killa, fresh from featuring on Mykki Blanco’s iconic LP Gay Dog Food, with a strong career of his own behind him. His vibe is hoop earrings and heavy beats. Then there’s Dai Burger, who’s like Azealia Banks crossed with Hello Kitty. She’s got a song called ‘Soufflé’ that’s all about making soufflés. It goes “SOUFLAAAY, SOUFLAAAY.” It’s good honestly. You have to be there.
There are also some familiar British exports we’ve all met before in East London’s various salubrious establishments (or in ex-council flats at 4 in the morning). The Familyyy Fierce will be there flogging their various wares, as will that Jonny Woo, stalking around and being condescending to everyone no doubt. Larry Tee will also be making an appearance, probably feeling fairly at home after fleeing Faggerston and setting up shop in Berlin in a few months ago (literally, he set up a shop for his fashion brand Tzuji).
So top up your Oyster and hop on a plane to Berlin! They take Oyster cards on planes right? Isn’t Berlin, like, Zone 6?
• YO! SISSY is at Schwuz, Neue Heimat and SO36, Berlin, from 24th-26th July. Tickets and more info available at yosissy.com
