Official Late-Night Party: AfterBeat presents Where Glamour Meets Rebellion
As the sun sets on day two of the festival, the energy shifts from the main stage to the heart of Central. On Saturday, June 20, 2026, AfterBeat invites you to year three of the ultimate tribute to night-culture royalty: Studio 54, Paradise Garage, and Le Palace.
Hosted at Shuffle, Central’s premier hidden gem, this year’s edition merges decadent 80s nostalgia with futuristic, TRON-inspired neon architecture. Attendees will be taken on an immersive sonic journey bridging generations of electronic and dance music—from Dalida to Daft Punk—soundtracked by a stellar DJ lineup featuring Piesta, May-John, Miss Lou, and B.
In the spirit of the French May Arts Festival and global club culture, the official dress code is “French Touch Disco Robot Glitter”—encouraging guests to go bold, go audacious, and channel their inner legend. Best of all, dancing tonight serves a higher purpose: 10% of all event proceeds will directly benefit Mayaa Nepal (co-presented by Alliance Française).
Details of the highly anticipated Social Room DJ Set performance, including the full lineup, schedule, ticketing, and admission arrangements, will be announced shortly on the official website and social media platforms.
Inspired by the Fête de la Musique (World Music Day) which takes place around the world on June 21 to celebrate the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere, Make Music, Hong Kong! is a music festival that celebrates all types of music for everyone. Registration is open now!
