There will be live music, spoken word, puppetry, visual art, stalls and free food.

- Sally Goldner, spoken word and stand-up comedian
- Geryon, lo-fi dream-pop and intricate loops
- Mick Roe, performer/writer
Bitch Please: Trans Woman Distro and Possum Parcel will have stalls.
The night is a fundraiser for the (Re)framing Gender project, which was launched in March 2014 as an opportunity for young gender diverse and trans people in and around the Darebin area to meet and discuss issues around gender diverse identity. Participants have used these discussions as a jumping-off point for creating visual art around the theme of "frames" that reflect their experiences as gender diverse and trans young people, some of which will be featured in the exhibition.
The event will also mark International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT) which is the following day.
