About us.
Launching in march of 2023 The Future is Queer began as a showcase event aiming to celebrate the next generation of LGBTQIA+ talent. Since then TFIQ has evolved into a queer artist collective, curating queer focused entertainment in many different forms: from intimate cabaret shows to high energy queer club nights, from main stage takeovers to educational artist talks.
​
In our first year alone we quickly built a strong following in the North East with our monthly residency event based in Newcastle. We worked closely with established festivals such as Northern Pride where we hosted a stage takeover, showcasing a line up of exciting up and coming local queer artists. We then closed our year with a nomination for Event of the Year at The Gaydio Pride Awards
