Philadelphia’s LGBTQ+ community is about to hit “Start” on a nightlife experience unlike anything before. As part of the electrifying OurFest Weekend, BOS Philly presents PLAYER ONE—an immersive, high-octane, 8-bit-inspired party quest taking over NOTO PHL on Saturday, October 11, 2025.

This isn’t just a party—it’s an all-out arcade fantasy where every guest becomes the hero of their own pixel-powered adventure. Think glitter, glow, and game over the top.

Enter the Game: What to Expect

From 9:00 PM to 3:00 AM, PLAYER ONE transforms NOTO into a retro-futuristic, bass-thumping battleground of beats and fantasy. With a theme inspired by classic video games, fantasy cosplay, and full-throttle dancefloor energy, this is more than a party—it’s a level-up in queer nightlife.

Expect stunning visuals, nostalgic 8-bit aesthetics, immersive décor, and a crowd that’s ready to dance like their joystick depends on it. Whether you arrive as a sequined Sonic, a mesh-covered Mario, or your fiercest authentic self, your presence adds to the quest.

Behind the Boards: Superstar DJ Lineup

The main stage will be commanded by none other than international powerhouse GSP, whose epic sets have ignited dance floors from XLSIOR Mykonos to NYC Pride. Known for his explosive mix of tribal-tech and progressive house, this marks his debut with BOS Philly, making it a landmark night for fans of high-energy, body-shaking beats.

Warming up the floor is the incomparable J Warren, returning to Philadelphia with his signature blend of euphoric EDM, tribal rhythm, and melodic build-ups. Fresh from performances at Puerto Vallarta Pride and White Party Bangkok, Warren is the perfect opener to set the vibe and get hearts racing.

Choose Your Adventure: Ticket Tiers

PLAYER ONE offers a dynamic range of ticket levels, making it easy for partygoers to craft their own experience:

🎮 Early Access “Power-Up” (Check-in by 10:30 PM): Early Access is the ultimate way to kick off your night without blowing your budget. These discounted ticket options reward you for showing up early—just make sure to check in before 10:30 PM. You’ll get all the same energy and excitement of the full event, but at a lower price point. It’s a smart move for partygoers who want to start dancing as soon as the doors open and still have some coins left for the bar. Early Access lets you level up your night without draining your wallet.

💎 Premium Options:
– LUX VIP: Private booths, bar credit, mezzanine views, exclusive swag, and more.


Cosplay, Consent & Culture

PLAYER ONE thrives on freedom of expression. Come in cosplay, fantasy couture, crop tops, or nothing but confidence. There are no limits to how you express yourself—just bring your energy and your truth.

Community-Funded Nightlife with Purpose

What sets BOS Philly apart isn’t just the stunning production or world-class DJs—it’s their unwavering commitment to the community. As a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, BOS operates with a purpose far beyond the dancefloor. None of the board members take a salary, ensuring that every dollar raised goes directly back into creating inclusive events and supporting local LGBTQ+ charities. When you buy a ticket, you’re not just buying a night out—you’re investing in queer joy, visibility, and vital resources for the Philly LGBTQ+ community.
