Absolut WHITE BALL 2009 in association with Wrapped magazine
 

A BALL FIT FOR A QUEEN

 
South Africa’s two top gay promoters, Juicy (Cape Town) and Qc2 (Joburg) have joined forces to bring you the most fabulous event on this winters clubbing calendar: “THE Absolut WHITE BALL 2009” in association with Wrapped magazine. The Absolut White Ball will hit Cape Town on Saturday 30 May and then heads up to Joburg on Friday 5 June 2009.

As with similar events internationally where brands create theatrical masterpieces, we will dress the Absolut White Ball to create a perfect white setting that is classical enough to compliment the requested formal white attire, yet hip and modern enough to entice dancing to local hot DJ’s and live performances until the early hours of the morning.

In 2006 and 2007 this event was one of our most memorable and is fondly remembered for the vast numbers of Qc citizens that dressed in white. This event has become a yearly institution the will go from strength to strength and therefore it’s naturally branched out to Cape Town.

“Do not be fooled by the formality of the dress code request,” Pieter of Qc2 warns interested parties. “We also expect men in white dresses and those who do not own one already, are encouraged to borrow one from their mother or grandmother’s closet! But expect lots of sparsely dressed men everywhere dancing the night away to world class music.”

Artists have also noticed the Qc2 and Juicy parties and have expressed an interest to stage one-off events for gay audiences during national concert tours by local and international artists.

The White Ball 2009 in Johannesburg will feature a live performance by the SA super group “Jamali”. Jamali recently won the SAMA for best English Pop Album and this trio is rapidly cementing their place as a world-class pop act – as good, of not better, than anything currently released in the international music market. The DJ’s performing at the White Ball 2009 also features the cream of SA’s best, no surprise then that this event will be: “A BALL FIT FOR A QUEEN”

NOTES TO THE EDITOR:

Qc2:
Since our birth in May 2006 Qc has brought the best possible events to Gauteng’s high-end gay community while providing the best marketing avenues for our sponsors and venues. Qc has earned the enviable reputation of continuously offering outstanding well supported attitude free, gay events in a classy environment. Just ask any gay man or gay girl in Johannesburg about Qc. One thing is for sure; Most have been and at the next event will probably be in the queue in front of you! Qc has in almost 3 years of existence produced 38 successful events with a number of very successful mega events that will now become the focus of Qc2’s annual festivities.

JUICY:
Juicy started out in 2007 and filled a gap in the market as there was no club experience available to the gay market in Cape Town at the time. The brand successfully launched itself at Roosevelt in Bree Street and was the highlight end-of-month event for all of the gay elite and socialites to attend. Since then Juicy has hosted many successful events including the official pride closing parties in 2008 and 2009, the last event, PRIDE 2009 After Party was in association with Gaydar set a great benchmark for events going forward as 700 people rocked the night away.
