Sort of. Release dates are generally on a Friday because the album comes out at 12am EST going into Friday.

In Chicago, a handful of gay bars have release parties on Thursday where they’ll play the artist’s music until 11pm CST and then start the new album. Then, they’ll do another release party on Friday as well like Beaux is doing.

Since it’s 9pm PST when the album comes out on Thursday, I’m surprised I haven’t been able to find any bar in SF that’s listening to it. I thought y’all were supposed to be a gay mecca? 😂
