Another AWOL bites the butt. A Week of Leather and Fetish 2025 was possibly our biggest yet, with all ticketed events sold out in advance and great vibes on our free nights.
AWOL is surely Australia’s premier series of geared-up and stripped-down events for same-sex attracted CIS and Trans males.
AWOL would not be possible without the year-round support of our family of Laird Leathermen, Boot Blacks, Ropers, Buzz Cutters, Designers, Creators and all the kinksters who make The Laird a haven for guys into gear.
A huge shout out to everyone who helped make AWOL 2025 come to life.
For AWOL enquiries including sponsorship, media or volunteering, please email us at contact@lairdhotel.com
Cheers, Brett, Dean and Mark
