• Icons – Pride Stage – 10 pm – Close your eyes and imagine the ultimate pride party: the colours, the giant hugs and big smiles, the outfits, the cutie standing in front of you, the gogo dancers, the Queens and the affirming dance-neighbour side nods when the beat drops just right…  and then add an eighty-foot-wide music festival stage, a giant rainbow, a print-out photo booth and confetti cannons.
• Cockpit – Berlin Stage – 10 pm – Queer Euphoria & Sweaty Tech-House. Step into the Berlin-inspired modern paradise of Cockpit as we redefine the circuit party. Feed your desires beneath a constellation of lasers at the newly redesigned cockpit stage experience. COCKPIT resurrects the judgement-free, queer-togetherness of the original 1980’s ‘circuit’ era  combined with the fabulous fetish 7 circuit fashion of today
• Dance and sing like everyone and no one is watching.  From pride anthems to high energy, death dropping performances seamlessly mixed into dancey vocal house sets… Icons will be the gayest, brightest, and most fabulous Vanccouver pride party you have ever been to.
