Breaking stigmas, fighting erasure: Striptopia
Melkweg sat down with founder Maggie Saunders to talk about autonomy, designing for strip culture, and the future of sex-positive spaces.


Tiny bikinis, flying dollars, hypnotic pole spins and dirty DJs: Striptopia is back for WorldPride at Melkweg!
Striptopia’s Club Night is a high-energy adult playground where music, live performance and the dancefloor collide in one booty-shaking atmosphere. Swap your cash for Striptopia Dollars, tip the performers who catch your eye and, if you dare, treat yourself to a lap dance. This club experience is a playful nod to the classic American strip club fantasy — reimagined with a wink, sharp humour and genuine care.
Striptopia turns strip culture turned inside out. Built on consent, inclusivity and performer autonomy, visitors experience a space where respect and celebration go hand in hand. Performers own their stage and boundaries, while guests are invited to explore and let go responsibly.
This programme is part of Club Chrome: Melkweg’s multidisciplinary festival for WorldPride 2026, where music, art and activism unite. Visit the Club Chrome page for more information, updates and other shows.
