Venue named after Chappell Roan’s Pink Pony Club under fire for saying it’s ‘specifically for gay men’

A new Australian nightclub has faced backlash for aiming for “90% plus” male customers, despite taking its name from Chappell Roan’s lesbian anthem ‘Pink Pony Club‘. Kevin Du-Val, the owner of Sydney’s Palms On Oxford, and its manager Michael Lewis, announced they would be opening a new bar in early December called PINK PONY, which they describe as “unashamedly inspired by its namesake song that resonates so profoundly within our community.” However, they said the club has been created “specifically for 18-35 (state of mind) gay men who love to…

I hope she plays ‘Hot To Go!’ On 22 August, Chappell Roan made a triumphant return to British soil – delivering her first-ever UK festival headline performance at Reading (arguably one of the most straight-coded festivals to exist). For an artist who has built her persona around queerness and unapologetic self-expression, her symbolic presence on that stage was impossible to ignore. Less than a year ago when The Midwest Princess last toured the UK, she was playing venues with capacities under 5,000. Fast forward to summer 2025, and she’s commanding…

Bad News, Babe! Chappell Roan’s second album “doesn’t exist yet”

Chappell Roan has tempered expectations around her sophomore album — revealing that it’s existence is, well, non-existent. In a recent interview with Vogue, the Grammy winner opened up about the release of her acclaimed ballad ‘The Subway’, her relationship with social media and the current status of CR2. “The second project doesn’t exist yet,” she shared. “There is no album. There is no collection of songs.” Roan explained it took five years to write and record her debut, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, and that “it’s probably…
