The UK’s first ever drive-in drag show is coming to London this summer.

Gals Aloud – Live at the Drive In will take place on August 22 at the Troubadour Meridian Water, with live performances on stage projected onto the big screen and sound piped in through car radios.

Cheryl Hole from RuPaul's Drag Race UK stars in the show, with a homage to one of the most-loved girl bands of all time featuring "Nadine, Cheryl, Kimberley, Nicola and Sarah reunited as you've never seen them before".

The event stars HERR The Queen as Nadine, Kitty Scott Claus as Kimberley, Tayce as Javine, Ophelia Love as Nicola, Lydia L'Scabies as Sarah.

Tickets are on sale now and can be bought here. Passes for each car cost £50.

It’s one of the latest drive-in events organised in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, with drive-in cinemas, concerts and even horse racing events taking place this year.

"We have been itching to get the incredible Gals Aloud back to the stage, after selling out venues across 2019 we were ramping up for our tour this year when everything was shut down,” director and producer Christopher Clegg said.

“It's been tough for everyone, but to be able to bring drag back in such an epic way, live in front of an audience at The Drive In London, is just so exciting. Expect a camp night of nonsense packed with the hits of one of the most iconic girl bands ever."
