Mardi Gras Reveals 2010 Season
Last night New Mardi Gras launched their 2010 festival guide at the Supper Club in Darlinghurst, revealing a spectacular line up for next year’s season. The much loved favourites are back again – Fair Day, Hats Off, Parade, Harbour Party and Party. Big names for next year’s festival include Whitney Houston at Acer Arena, Spencer Tunick’s The Base, John Waters’ This Filthy World at the Opera House.
There are a few new events to look out for next year. Because of the Parade Party split in 2010 NMG have introduced a new party called Parade Carnival which will take place after the Parade at Entertainment Quarter. It’s free for Parade participants, Mardi Gras volunteers and Members and will take place at the Show Ring, Dome and Forum. Line up and ticket information is yet to be announced.
The Pool Party will be back this year, but this time it’s at The Ivy pool. DJ Dan Murphy and his crew will be rocking the poolside and change rooms.
Queer Thinking is a new aspect of the festival which is a fusion of academia, literature and ideas, bringing together the queer community’s best creative and academic talent to discuss their work, explore ideas and reflect upon the 2010 Festival theme, Mardi Gras’ History of the World.
For the internationals cruising into town on the Atlantis ship, Harbour Party will be their chance to let their hair down after the Parade. Next year’s DJ line up includes Wayne G, Paul Heron, Paul Goodyear, Sista P, Kitty Glitter and Jason Barry, spread over two levels.
Mardi Gras Party will cap off the festival on March 6 from 10pm. The DJ line up includes David Guetta, Bimbo Jones, Dan Murphy, Jake Kilby, Alan Thompson, Mark Murphy, Sveta, Mandy Rollins, Ben Drayton, GI Jode and Steve Sonius. The party ends at 8am, which gives you a few hours to head home and scrub up for Toybox at Luna Park, which kicks off at midday.
