Transtronica
2025 Icons
In January 2025, Hamburg salonnière Saeleen Bouvar invites you to the third edition of TRANSTRONICA, the world’s first electronic music festival with an all trans* and non-binary line-up. Under the motto ICONS, the festival celebrates the invisible heroines of the trans community – Suzy and Coccinelle – who give the evenings their names. These trans women have created safe spaces for queer life in the midst of social isolation and have thus decisively shaped queer culture. On two evenings, the audience can expect a captivating line-up: international and local artists such as the “Dance Hall Queen of Switzerland” Lateena Plummer and RUI HO, who combines modern club sounds with traditional Chinese sounds, will take to the stage. TRANSTRONICA brings together concerts, ecstatic DJ sets and surprising musical highlights and promises to set the dance floors of the Kampnagel Club on fire with trans excellence!
