BEEFMINCE kicked off 2026 as they mean to go on, and QX is about to find out the juicy details.
Hi, guys. How are you? How has the start of the year been for you?
Hello! We had a cheeky week in the sun right after the madness of the festive season and a very successful NYE event at The Clapham Grand. So we came back rested and refreshed, ready to roll out all our exciting plans for 2026.
Straight out of the door, you moved your RVT events to Saturdays—how was it?
It’s been a game-changer! After a decade of being a Friday staple, moving to Saturdays at The Royal Vauxhall Tavern from 17 January was the right step, and the response has been incredible. Saturdays just feel right for the tavern—everyone had their lie-in on Saturday morning, or even a disco nap and are ready to stay until the very end.
It’s still the same BEEFMINCE you know and love—just with a little more weekend magic. We’ve already had some legendary nights planned this year, including our Traffic Light Party, and a bunch of hot new DJs who haven’t been played at the RVT yet and are super ready to spice things up even more.
Tell us about your upcoming event at The Steel Yard.
We are absolutely gagging for our next massive takeover at The Steel Yard on Saturday, 7 March. Our events there are always so much fun! The venue is incredible – it’s a full industrial experience with two huge dance arches, a dark room and a super-late 5am close. We are also returning to the original BEEFMINCE sound in the BEEF ARCH – pumping house, dirty electro and uplifting vibes from twice Grammy nominated MOTO BLANCO, who joins our longest running favourite, CHRIS BROGAN and, of course, our resident and creator of the unique BEEFMINCE sound, SILVERHOOK. In the MINCE ARCH, it’s all about camp fun and unapologetic pop anthems served by JOE EGG, CHRIS DE BUERRE and TUFFCUB.
And let’s not forget our Dark Room Upstairs – for those looking for a bit more mystery. We’ve also streamlined things with staggered entry times (the Bear Boarding system) and extra bars to make sure you spend more time dancing and less time queuing. Tickets are available now at beefmince.com or via the DICE app.
What other exciting plans do you have for 2026?
We’re anything but slowing down! Beyond our legendary London residency at the RVT, we have plenty of beefy goodness to spread around. We are taking over The Clapham Grand again, for a fabulous Easter Ball, on Good Friday, 2 April.
Then we must mention our Brighton parties. We’re back at the delicious Concorde 2 on Saturday, 25 April and throughout the year, including a very special date…
We’ve got somer international adventures too; this year we are part of European Gay Ski Week in the French Alps 21-28 March and then in back sun in Sitges, Spain for the May edition of the Bear Week during the first May bank holiday weekend (30 April-2 May) – it’s the cute cubby version of the big daddy bear event they hold in September, still fun but not as crazy busy!
And the Summer! You boys normally have something up your sleeve for those hot, long days. What can you tell us?
The rest of this year is looking pretty good. Summer 2026 has loads of fun new things coming, including a brand-new London venue announcement, a return to Birmingham, Prides all over the country, and loadsmore as we continue to spread out “Mince Mission” of body positivity and attitude-free fun across the country.
Next stop, the RVT on Saturday 21 February when scene legend, JON BYRNE, joins SILVERHOOK for another bear-full, attitude-free party!
Watch Launch Night Saturday BEEFMINCE at The RVT – it was heaving! …
