Last year, we had Cher headline the biggest LGBTIQ party in Sydney, the Mardi Gras after party. This year, we have Jake Shears from the Scissor Sisters as well as over nine other acts from literally all over the world.
From Australia’s own Courtney Act – fresh off the back of her attempt at saving Australia in Eurovision – to Boris and Late Nite Tuff Guy from Berlin’s Berhain, there’s something for all kinds of party people and what they need to keep them going until the party shuts down at 8am on Sunday.
The Royal Hall of Industries at Sydney’s Hordern Pavillion will be turned into a Neon Playground, a fluro-pop inspired wonderland featuring performances by International pop star Kim Petras (USA), and local legends PNAU, Courtney Act and Briefs. The DJ lineup features international DJs Toy Armada & DJ GRIND (Singapore/USA) and Kitty Glitter and local favourites Amanda Louise and Dom De Sousa.
Couple with that, performances by Briefs, HANDSOME, Paul Capsis and Vogue dancing masters House of Slé featuring special guest Leiomy Maldonado who’ll join PNAU and Kim Petras.
It’s going to be huge. uge enough to consider renaming the whole Pavillion to The Black Palace for this night-of-nights, becoming a seductive and decadent underground world in a heady mix of the Palace of Versailles meets Versace socked in the decadence of the underground Berlin club scene.
