This year, fans are invited to join season 12 winner Jaida Essence Hall and season 10 winner Aquaria, along with Rose, Angeria, Bosco, Daya Betty, Kandy Muse and Ginger Minj as they are unknowingly trapped in the Netwerq where you need to “free your mind and prepare to be wowed”.
“We can’t wait to welcome the queens as they sashay their way to entertain the crowds of the north-east of Scotland,” said Louise Stewart, interim managing director at P&J Live.
“With Rose originally hailing from Peterculter, we’re sure the local fans will provide her with a huge warm welcome back to Aberdeen.
“From outrageous moves to unbelievable costumes, start your engines because this is going to be one hell of a party.”
Rose, is a Scottish-American drag queen and singer based in Manhattan and is best known for competing on the 13th season of RuPaul’s Drag Race, in the US.
