Regarded as an iconic LGBT+ nightclub in Osaka, Explosion has established itself as one of the front-runners of inclusive clubs in the city.
Explosion is in Kita-ku, north Osaka, a busy commercial area with sleek office buildings, riverfront promenades, and lively nightlife.
With a shimmering wall behind the small stage, red leather bar stools, and velvet curtains, various colors and textures define Explosion’s intimate, exclusive space.
If you’re looking for entertaining nights, Explosion hosts popular drag shows accompanied by go-go dancers and themed parties. Open-format DJs spin a mix of pop and electronic music to dancing crowds.
Since it opened, the club has served as a refuge for the marginalized LGBT+ community in Osaka. Explosion welcomes partiers of all ages and backgrounds, regardless of gender or sexual orientation.
As the godfather of queer clubs in Osaka, Explosion is a name that has etched itself in the city’s nightlife.
