Trixie Mattel Is Bringing ‘Super Disco’ To Festivals And Dropping A Madonna Rework Along The Way

Festival season is about to get a sci-fi upgrade courtesy of Trixie Mattel, who is rolling out a new live DJ experience titled Super Disco alongside a fresh reimagining of Madonna’s “Hung Up.”

The new version of the pop classic is produced by Trixie with vocals from Jayelle, continuing a recent run of club-focused reworks that includes No Doubt’s “Hella Good” with Bonnie McKee and “Let’s Have a KiKi” alongside VNSSA and Lushious Massacr.

But the bigger story is happening on stage. ‘Super Disco’ Takes Over Festival Season

Super Disco expands on Trixie’s earlier DJ era, Solid Pink Disco, but leans further into narrative-driven performance. This time, she’s not just DJing, she’s staging a sci-fi storyline where she arrives on Earth from a pink jungle planet to intervene in humanity’s collapse into greed, automation, and chaos.

The production will roll out across some of the biggest festivals of the summer, including:

• Lightning in a Bottle — May 23 (Buena Vista Lake, CA)
• Bonnaroo — June 13 (Manchester, TN)
• Lollapalooza — July 30–Aug. 2 (Chicago, IL; exact date TBA)
• Osheaga — Aug. 2 (Montreal, QC)
• Capitol Hill Block Party — Aug. 7–9 (Seattle, WA; exact date TBA)
• Outside Lands — Aug. 8 (San Francisco, CA)

Each stop will feature what the announcement describes as Trixie’s largest live production to date, combining new music, remixes, and expanded visual storytelling. A Sci-Fi Storyline Behind The Dance Floor

Rather than a standard DJ set, Super Disco builds a full narrative arc around its performance concept.

“New tracks, remixes, bootlegs… While I still want to provide that sense of escapism, I’m spinning a narrative where love and humanity prevail over greed and automation. It’s higher stakes than anything I’ve done on the festival circuit before,” she shared.

Trixie said the inspiration comes from a mix of classic sci-fi and cultural commentary.

“I’ve been consuming a lot of news, Star Trek, The Jetsons, reread Watchmen, and old sci-fi, so I knew I wanted a space-and-aliens theme,” she said. “Musically, I’m leaning into what I love most: retro disco, funk, and funky house.”

She added that the visual world sets up a contrast between competing forces.

“Visually, it contrasts the ‘worst parts of America,’ personified by a male villain obsessed with the military, robotics, and greed, against Trixie, who hails from a pink jungle planet that values love and connection.” From Drag Race To Dance Floors

The announcement marks another evolution in a career that has stretched far beyond drag performance.

Since winning RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars, Trixie has built a multi-platform career spanning music releases, cosmetics, comedy, podcasting, and publishing. Her DJ work, in particular, has become one of her most successful live ventures, with Solid Pink Disco selling out venues internationally and drawing club crowds alongside drag fans.

With Super Disco, that momentum is scaling up again, this time with bigger stages, more narrative ambition, and a clearer push into festival headliner territory. Madonna Gets A Festival-Ready Rework

The timing of Super Disco lines up with her new cover of Madonna’s “Hung Up,” a track that repositions the early-2000s hit through a modern house lens. While the original leaned heavily into disco sampling, Trixie’s version emphasizes production shifts designed for large-scale festival sound systems.

It’s part of a broader creative phase that prioritizes reinterpretation over imitation, taking recognizable pop tracks and reshaping them for dance floors built on nostalgia and irony in equal measure.

Between the new music and the expanding live concept, Trixie’s current era is leaning fully into performance as world-building, one where the DJ booth doubles as a stage for sci-fi storytelling, and the dance floor becomes part of the plot.
