Extra Dirty is Sydney’s leather and fetish-flavoured techno institution: dark room vibes, heavy bass, and a dancefloor packed with harnesses, rubber and unapologetically filthy energy.
Born in the underground, Extra Dirty has graduated from word-of-mouth warehouse myth to fully fledged institution, anchoring Mardi Gras and long-weekend calendars. Expect late-night (okay, early-morning) sets from hard-driving techno and house DJs, lights kept low, and a crowd that’s there to sweat, stomp and surrender to the beat.
From Warehouse Floors to Festival Legend
Extra Dirty started life in Sydney’s underground party scene, building a loyal following long before it became a Mardi Gras staple. Its ethos has stayed the same: music first, attitude filthy, doors open to those who get it.
The dress code skews leather, rubber, sports kit and anything that looks better under red lights, but the real rule is attitude: open-minded, body-positive and kink-curious is very welcome. You’ll find men in full gear, pups, queers of all genders and a solid dose of locals who’ve been coming for years, all sharing the floor without pretense.
It’s not a circuit party, it’s not a fashion parade; it’s a proper rave spirit with a fetish edge. Pace yourself, hydrate, and don’t be shy about leaning into the atmosphere—Extra Dirty is where Sydney lets its inner perv out to play, with consent and community at the core.
When to Catch It
Extra Dirty typically pops up across the year on big weekends, with especially legendary editions during Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. Tickets often sell out in advance, so keep an eye on dates and snag your spot early.
