Drag shows

Wellington’s queer culture is vibrant and creative, intertwined with its arts and political activism. The city’s Pride Festival and inclusive spaces reflect New Zealand’s commitment to equality and its laid-back, welcoming atmosphere.

The countdown is on — and we can’t wait to see which superstar takes one step closer to becoming Mx Capital Drag 2026! Having the honour of judging the Mx Capital 2026 Heats and making the call is… Romé Marama | One of the Founding Mothers of the Kiki House of Marama, known for commanding the floor and a powerhouse in the Oceania Ballroom scene. As a creative in Te Whanganui-a-Tara, she brings her magic as a performer, producer, director and Mother, driven by a deep love for excellence, artistry, and community. Eddie D’amore | He’s a little bit vintage and a wee bit dapper and a whole lot sparkly. This silver throated crooner will charm your ears with a voice so sweet you can’t help but fall in love. Who is he? He’s your Italian, opera singing lover boy, MX Capital 2023, Eddie D’amore.
