About this listen

RuPaul BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

RuPaul is having a characteristically glittering run this August, and all eyes are on Mama Ru as she brings her signature flair to multiple stages and platforms. Announced directly through RuPaul’s official Instagram, I will be serving a one-night-only DJ set on August 9 at The Concourse Project in Austin, a rare live appearance that already has fans locally buzzing and major nightlife blogs touting it as a must-attend event. My Instagram post about the gig quickly picked up hundreds of comments and shares, cementing my status as a social media force. San Antonio’s MySA confirms the Austin set, reminding everyone that when RuPaul sashays away to Texas, people listen. The party doesn’t stop there—I’ll be spinning again in Dallas at Silo on August 22, making it a month of RuPaul in Texas with club dates that are garnering strong advance interest and headlines.

Meanwhile, the global drag spectacle continues with RuPaul’s Drag Race Werq the World Tour powering through North America and beyond. The State Theatre in New Brunswick, New Jersey, will host the Werq the World cast on August 17 for a massive show in collaboration with MTV and World of Wonder—a testament to the franchise’s ongoing power to pull both critical attention and box office dollars. Live Nation is promoting an August 21 stop in Toronto, part of a packed, cross-border schedule, while Altria Theatre and social media continue amping up shows slated for early September. The tour is not just business as usual: every date reasserts the RuPaul brand as the heart of global drag and queer entertainment.

In the past few days, the Drag Race universe also captured headlines for emotional reasons: Alaska, beloved All Stars winner and Race Chaser podcast cohost, announced her engagement on social media after celebrating her grandmother’s 90th birthday, with Parade and AOL both spotlighting the milestone.

In the music world, Trixie Mattel’s April 2025 cover of “Supermodel (You Better Work),” one of my most iconic tracks, recently resurfaced in pop culture chatter following her Coachella performance, with Wikipedia noting the ongoing influence of my music on younger drag superstars. While there are rampant rumors about further TV projects and potential documentary specials around the global tour, nothing in the past week has been verified by Paramount or World of Wonder. Social posts suggest something is in development, but until it’s official, it remains pure speculation.

At every turn this August, RuPaul’s name is headlining big events, stirring anticipation in clubland and beyond, proving that, three decades in, I remain drag’s most magnetic superstar—with every beat, every post, and every public sashay making news.
