As part of Midsumma Festival 2026, Museum of Desire invites you to step inside A Midsumma Night’s Fantasy — an immersive art party hosted by the iconic Jimi The Kween and the dazzling Diloncé, joined by a glittering constellation of queer artists, performers and creative mischief-makers including Saint Eve, Disco Rodeo, Nicky Tsekouras and Nathan Mc Glynn. Expect magic, heat and a whole lot of sparkle.
Here’s what awaits you:
- Jimi The Kween bringing a show-stopping blend of song, dance and glamour, plus a glitter-soaked lounge-house DJ set
- Diloncé delivering vocals, choreo, energy and pure Nicki-inspired fantasy
- Saint Eve turning up the heat with intimate, bold performances featuring wax, glass, fire and food
- Disco Rodeo teaching you to move like a pop star, ending in a live museum performance where you can shine
- Pop-up Live Queer Artist Interventions, including:
- Nicky Tsekouras crafting a zero-waste mural from found materials over 3 hours
- Nathan McGlynn creating live art nudes — choose your favourite ‘bits’ for a framed pose and walk away with your own cheeky portrait
- Queer film & music video selections in the Erotic Cinema room
- Hot Pink Carpet VIP Arrival — make your entrance in style
- Kissing Booth — free pashing and photo prints
- Join the scavenger hunt and uncover surprises throughout the museum

- This was by far one of the most enjoyable days out I've had in Melbourne this year. Every room had something fun and exciting to interact with. If I wasn't laughing, I was immersed. I plan on attending again. I want all my friends to experience a fun, sex positive exhibition and I would highly recommend this to everyone seeking a rollercoaster ride of a day out.
- Absolutely amazing and a whole lot of fun!
- Great fun. Loved that the sessions weren’t overcrowded and you had space to enjoy. Would love a list of all the artists at the end and more items in the gift shop especially from the exhibiting artists.
