The one-night event promises high energy and even higher heels.</p><p>If you've never seen RuPaul behind the decks, now's your chance. Piknic says to expect dance, pop, house, disco, and "guaranteed good vibes." And based on Ru's decades-long reign as a pop culture force, it's shaping up to be a major highlight on Montreal's party calendar.</p><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/DMxsMcEMo9F/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=823dfc0c-2e59-46b8-987f-c2a803546c94" data-instgrm-version="4" style="background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);">
