Glove Party: 10 years of queer clubbing in Barcelona

By Josep Anton

April 02, 2024

A decade flies by when you have a good time. And if the people at Glove are experts about something, that’s creating memorable and fun experiences in equal parts, something that has led them not only to be able to blow out the ten candles in this 2024 but also to become one of the emblems of queer clubbing in Barcelona.

Founded on the principles of inclusion and artistic expression, Glove Party impeccably combines the vibrant energy of the queer scene with the infectious rhythms of house and disco music. All wrapped in a familiar and eccentric aura, led by its drag queen dancers, whose captivating performances add an extra layer of magic to the night. Whether through hypnotic choreography or dazzling costumes, each performance is a testament to the power of empowerment, liberation and the beauty of embracing one’s true identity.

“Out of necessity within Barcelona’s club scene in 2014, we took action and pioneered our “disco-only” party – a concept previously absent in the city. We brought decorations, toys, and other playful elements for the crowd, along with upbeat disco music to kickstart a new adventure. As our budget grew, we began inviting performers and dancers, mostly friends or individuals from the crowd, further developing our vision for the party, which attracted people of all genders and backgrounds.”  Daniele Zonza for Night Mag

As Barcelona’s nightlife scene evolves, Glove Party remains at the forefront, challenging boundaries and redefining the nightlife experience. With its commitment to showcasing diverse talent and creating a safe space for self-expression, Glove has become more than just a party: it is a cultural movement. Glove Party stands as a beacon of hope and celebration as the city embraces change and progress, bringing people together to dance, laugh, and love without fear or judgment.

“It’s a place where fun is palpable, where the crowd connects and exchanges happiness, warmly welcoming newcomers into the fold. We prioritize nurturing the vibe, actively engaging with the crowd, and breaking the ice to surprise and delight them, constantly observing and refining to create truly magical events.”  Daniele Zonza for Night Mag

Get ready to immerse yourself in the enchanting world of the Glove Party. Leave your preconceptions behind, don your finest attire, and let loose on the dance floor as we celebrate their most significant milestone yet: the 10th Anniversary on Saturday, May 18th.
