The ‘queer block party for all’, which takes place on November 9, will also feature hyperpop icon Shygirl presenting her latest Club Shy project, Swedish singer and record producer COBRAH making her Manchester debut, and the rhythm shifting sounds of Olof Dreijer from The Knife.

It's been a big year for the team at Homobloc, from featuring alongside Gossip as part of the BBC Radio 6 Music Festival, to launching a series of one-off events with the likes of Fever Ray, ANOHNI and the Johnsons and Avalon Emerson.
