The Flea in NYC announced a new partnership with Pittsburgh based event production collective Honcho for the upcoming Beyond The Stardust conceived by Flea Artistic Director Niegel Smith & The Illustrious Blacks as an intergalactic immersive nightlife show with its new collaboration. Beyond The Stardust at the Critters Lounge at Honcho Campout 2026 takes place August 15th & at The Flea September 10th to October 18th. The partnership brings together 2 orgs with a deep commitment to uplifting Black, Brown & LGBTQ voices. Niegel Smith, Flea Artistic Director stated, “It is a joy to be in partnership with the impressive Honcho crew. I’ve loved The Flea for over a decade & I’ve loved Honcho for years. Both are places I’ve felt & witnessed queer folks free to express themselves through music, fashion & intentional community-building & we both throw sweaty, blood-pumping dance parties & performances for Black, Brown & Queer folks & now, we’re joining forces led by The Illustrious Blacks! Everyone better be ready to blast off.” Aaron Clark, Honcho co-founder concluded, “With the launch of our newest stage, Critter’s Lounge, Campout has thrown open the door to a huge range of artistry from within our community. Hosting a sneak preview of The Flea's production of Beyond the Stardust is a perfect fit for our beautiful queer fever dream of a cabaret club!” Beyond the Stardust at The Flea will feature 12 original songs, stunning visuals, & a host of nightlife’s most enchanting aerialists, dancers, go-go boys, girls & more. The Illustrious Blacks’ & Smith’s visions are shot through a narrative prism in 60 minutes in an Afro-disco-space-punk-extravaganza inviting audiences into intercosmic dance floor liberation.
