TRANSGENRE Volume II Festival Returns With Flowerkid, Second Idol & More

All Trans/non-binary festival TRANSGENRE Volume II is returning in 2025, featuring Flowerkid, Alex The Astronaut and more.

Following a sold-out debut that made waves across the country, TRANSGENRE is set to make its triumphant return this September with TRANSGENRE Volume II, bringing together some of Australia’s brightest trans and non-binary artists for an unforgettable day of music, community, and celebration. Blunt Magazine is proud to be a presenting partner for the festival’s second iteration.

Taking over The Red Rattler Theatre in Eora/Sydney (Gadigal Country) on Saturday, September 27, 2025, TRANSGENRE Volume II will be headlined by indie sensation Flowerkid, who is poised to cement his status as a national treasure with his highly anticipated debut album.

Joining Flowerkid on the lineup is beloved singer-songwriter Alex The Astronaut, who will treat fans to an ultra-rare, intimate acoustic set, promising a performance that’s as heartfelt as it is unique.

The festival’s electrifying bill also features a diverse mix of genres and styles. Indie-pop darlings FVNERAL will bring their shimmering melodies, while experimental artist Noctica promises an immersive sonic journey. Moody rockers Second Idol will keep energy levels high, while emo enthusiasts Perfect Daughters and hardcore upstarts Hunny round out a lineup that spans the full emotional spectrum.

TRANSGENRE Volume II isn’t just about the music. The all-ages event will celebrate community with stalls from LGBTQ+ organisations and businesses, as well as handmade art and crafts from local queer artists.

As with its inaugural edition, TRANSGENRE Volume II aims to uplift and empower trans and non-binary voices at a time when visibility and solidarity are more important than ever. Co-directors Ellie Robinson (she/her) and Tim Blunt (they/them) shared, “Being a trans person in 2025 is, to say the least, exhausting – but now more than ever, community is vital. We believe in the power of joy as resistance, and hopefully we can be a conduit for some of that joy with TRANSGENRE.”

“We said the same thing last time, but the sentiment is even truer now: we need to be visible, defiant and thriving – and at the core of that is positive representation in all corners of society.”
