Celebrating 12 years of NYC Downlow, Glastonbury’s legendary queer club
With no Glasto – still not over it – we pay tribute to the festival’s first LGBTQ space
Miss Corona really did twist the knife when she forced organisers to shelve Glastonbury this year.
Glasto holds a special, mud-smothered place in our hearts thanks to the simply legendary NYC Downlow.

The festival’s first LGBTQ space is the go-to spot for debauchery, drag and just partying your little titties off.
It is the pièce de résistance of Block9 – the creation of Gideon Berg and Stephen Gallagher – a hub of indoor and outdoor dance clubs at the greatest place on earth (fact).

Block9 are filling the gaping hole in our lives with a double-whammy music release, Best of the Best Volumes 1 & 2, out now.
A selection of live DJ mixes from their 12-year tenure at Glastonbury, the collection includes recordings from Master at Work, Black Madonna, Roger Sanchez and more.
To celebrate the release, we decided to take a trip down memory lane and revisit NYC Downlow.
Until next year, babes.
