Kitty Su, India’s foremost inclusive nightlife platform and a flagship cultural property of The Lalit Suri Hospitality Group, is set to mark a defining milestone — its 11th anniversary — with Battle Royale: The Mumbai Edition, a landmark drag performance spectacular at House of Commons, Kitty Su Mumbai, on 11^th April, 2026, from 8 PM onwards.

Since its inception in 2015, Kitty Su has stood as more than a nightlife venue — it has been a movement. Born from the vision of Keshav Suri, Executive Director of The Lalit Suri Hospitality Group and a globally recognised LGBTQIA+ rights advocate, Kitty Su pioneered the concept of an inclusive, safe, and celebratory space where queer culture, drag artistry, and nightlife converge. Over 11 years, the brand has grown from a single venue in New Delhi into a multi-city cultural institution with a presence across Mumbai, Kolkata, and beyond — consistently championing visibility, representation, and artistic excellence.

The 11th Kittyversary edition of Battle Royale brings together ten of India’s most electrifying drag performers for a night that promises to be a watershed moment in the country’s growing drag culture. The stage will be commanded by Seventeen Sins, Mysterious Munda, Zeesh, Betta Naan Stop, Flexi Gloss, Velvet Vox, Shay D, Trixie Cup, Magic Wand, and Emperor Naaz — a powerhouse lineup representing diverse drag aesthetics, from glamour and camp to performance art and activism. DJ Atharva will helm the console, curating the sonic landscape for the evening.

“The Lalit Mumbai is honoured to host the 11th Kittyversary of Kitty Su — a brand that has consistently redefined what hospitality and nightlife can stand for in India. Battle Royale is a celebration of artistry, identity, and the inclusive values that The Lalit Group has always championed. We look forward to welcoming guests to what promises to be an unforgettable evening” shared Nischit Pathania, General Manager, The Lalit Mumbai

Battle Royale is not merely a performance event — it is a cultural statement. At a time when conversations around gender expression, inclusivity, and safe spaces are more critical than ever in India, Kitty Su’s continued investment in drag as a legitimate and celebrated art form underscores the brand’s founding philosophy: that nightlife can be a vehicle for social change. The 11th Kittyversary is a testament to the resilience of this vision and the community that has grown around it.

The event is presented in collaboration with Haus of Rage and Rage by Dkloset, partners who share Kitty Su’s commitment to nurturing India’s drag ecosystem and providing platforms for queer artists to thrive.
