Tickets available on the door WE'RE BACK! The Palace is raising money to put on its 2023 edition, and we’re doing it the way we know best: throwing a party. Pleural takes its name from the fluid between the membranous layers that cover human lungs, a lubricant to allow breathing. With its homophone ‘plural’ also pointing to multiplicity, this night of music, installations and film aims to both lubricate new connections and bring out queerness’ radical potential through a theme focusing on the body's between-spaces.

Known for her eclectic sets, you can find her spin everything, from sacred and experimental music through to obscure slutcore sounds and hard fast-paced controlled chaos. soundcloud.com/satindecompostela instagram.com/redlavvalamp Pet Bitch With a love for all things high-octane and glitchy, Pet Bitch brings a torrent of nightcore, hyperpop, and hardcore gems to the dance floor. soundcloud.com/pet_bitch instagram.com/pet_bitch ORDERLY ROOM After a thunderous 1020 Radio debut for Floor Function followed by a ‘unique’ club outing for Grove’s Keep Hush night alongside CandyHurtZz earlier this year, ORDERLY ROOM has established themselves on the Bristol scene as a sonic liability. Known for their unconventional combinations of high-power grime, power noise, breaks and hard drum, they force ugly sounds to work together on the dancefloor in new ways #KludgeGang soundcloud.com/orderly-room instagram.com/acertainknot ࿊ ࿋ ࿌ ࿊ ࿋ ࿌ ࿊ ࿋ ࿌ ࿊ ࿋ ࿌ ࿊ ࿋ ࿌ ࿊ ࿋ ࿌ ࿊ ࿋ ࿌ ࿊ ࿋ ࿌ ROOM 2 Marcin Gawin Marcin is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice spans image construction, installation & live art. He is broadly interested in The Body and its reconfigurations; how it functions in mundane practicality as well as in speculative and occult realities. ‘Face to the Seventh’ reduces The Body to a mere host - or vessel - wherein the internal organs are reimagined as individual organisms or hybrid deities. Through rearrangement, these new forms are given primacy; questioning wholeness and problematising identity. instagram.com/mrcn.gwn Marie Dutton Marie's work has long been rooted in dark humour - her films frequently treading the line between unnerving and funny. She is drawn to the mundanity of the everyday and the eerie sensation of the uncanny valley, exploring visuals that feel both familiar yet unfamiliar. This installation explores the visceral fear of the unknown that lurks when the line between the familiar and unfamiliar is blurred. @ma.riedutton / @clumpcollective / clumpcollective.co.uk Azaria Flynn Premiered at Spike Island’s Eleventh exhibition in 2017, this AV installation explores the invasiveness of infection and disease when the body is subjected to something out of its control. Isolating crude and broken skin - magnifying the fragile barrier that attempts to protect us - this is a direct response to the raw and fragile condition of the body. azariaflynn.wixsite.com/artist Virtual Reality We are entering a new era in the politics of digital identity.
