The event, taking place at city centre bar Eden, is set to feature 'some of the spookiest and most sickening queens ever'.

Stars so far announced are Jujubee, Raja and Alexis Michelle.

Jujubee is a fan favourite who competed in season two of RuPaul's Drag Race, finishing in third place, and RuPaul's Drag Race: All Stars. The 33-year-old drag queen - whose real name is Airline Inthyrath - is from Boston, though she is of Laotian descent.

Raja Gemini, meanwhile, won RuPaul's Drag Race season three. The 43-year-old Californian drag queen, whose real name is Sutan Amrull, is also known for working on America's Next Top Model, where she was the head makeup artist from cycles four to 12.

Raja's clientèle has included several celebrities including Pamela Anderson, Tyra Banks, Dita Von Teese, Paulina Porizkova, Iman, and Twiggy. Since 2009, she has been make-up artist to singer Adam Lambert for print media, live US appearances and Lambert's international 2010 Glam Nation Tour.

Alexis Michelle, otherwise known as Alex Michaels, appeared on season nine of Drag Race, coming in fifth place. The 32 year old from New York is also the cousin of US singer/songwriter Lisa Loeb. Alexis, along with fellow drag stars Aja, Peppermint, and Sasha Velour, released a song on April 21 this year called C.L.A.T.

More acts are still to be announced.

The Scream Queens show will take place on Thursday, October 26, between 7 and 11pm.

Tickets, priced between £32.45 and £85.55, are now on sale.
