BOOTS N’ BLING: A Queer Country Rave

🤠🌈 BOOTS N’ BLING: A Queer Country Rave 🪩✨
at LIVE! on Elgin

Where rhinestones meet rhythm. Where hoedown meets ho-up.
Because country was always queer — and now it's loud about it.

A two-steppin’, glitter-drenched takeover of your favorite venue — complete with:
● Indoor honky-tonk-style rave hall (club lights, thumpin’ bass)
🚗 Parking: Street & paid lot options nearby
🚌 Closest Transit: [Albert & Slater]

🎶 THE SOUND:
Country, but make it club.
Think barn dance on molly. Think gay rodeo meets Pride parade.
🎧 Soundtrack by our genre-blending, floor-filling DJs spinning:
● Deep cuts & boot-stompers from Orville Peck, Kacey Musgraves, Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter
● Shania Twain, Lil Nas X, Dolly Parton (remixed, reworked, revered)
● House, disco, and country-trap crossover edits
● Surprise y’allternative throwbacks & queer line dance anthems
● Midnight “Hoe-Down Hour” — a curated set of gay country bangers to lose your spurs to

💽Expect everything from “9 to 5” on acid to “Old Town Road” like you’ve never heard it before.
