Guys Dunn Up (GDU) is a Manchester-based queer performance and creative collective bringing together dancers, DJs, models and artists to celebrate individuality, confidence and self-expression. In 2026, GDU launched Get Dunn Up, a nightlife concept blending house music, immersive performance and fashion into an inclusive club experience. Following a successful debut at Redlight Bar, the event quickly built momentum, leading to a return during Manchester Pride and conversations with new Manchester venues. Beyond nightlife, GDU has secured a creative partnership with STRAPP METAL, whose distinctive designs have become part of the collective’s identity. STRAPP METAL styles the GDU performance team and has collaborated on campaign shoots, with co-created social media content generating strong engagement and helping establish the collective’s bold visual aesthetic. GDU’s ambition is to become one of the UK’s leading queer creative collectives—creating opportunities for performers, celebrating LGBTQ+ talent and producing and hosting experiences where music, fashion and community come together.
