Artistic director’s statement
We live in a time where freedom of speech and expression is under attack, and want to raise awareness on how LGBTQ+ history is currently being erased as well as how drag can be an important tool for activism and community building. Read our artistic director Luna Palmer’s full speech from the Oslo Drag Festival Kick Off Party, 22nd February 2025.

Programmet for ODF 2025 er lansert!
Årets festival finner sted på SALT Art & Music 30-31. mai. Både fredag og lørdag er fullspekket med fantastisk drag, både fra inn og utland. For aller første gang har vi med med noen fra Rupaul’s Drag Race. Ikke bare én, men tre stk!

We need volunteers!
Oslo Drag Festival is happening on the 30th and 31st of May 2025, and we need volunteers to help out with the festival!

With spotlight-stealing energy, vocals to die for, and a style that pays homage to the icons who inspired her, she’s even caught the eye of Lady Gaga herself!
