It’s the party to end all parties, the one, the only, the annual Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras Party! Announced today is the first line-up of local and international DJ royalty set to hit the decks in 2016 for a knockout night.

After 31 years of rocking the decks with House jams, one of Sydney’s longest serving and highly respected DJs, Mark Alsop, will make his Mardi Gras Party debut. Responsible for many incredible dancefloor memories in Sydney and around the world and an unwavering force in the local dance scene, Alsop’s set will be a Party highlight in 2016.
Expect to hear an exclusive fusion of club mixes, fresh pop and timeless tunes when transgender showstopper and DJ, Victoria Anthony hits the decks. Crowned DJ of The Year at the 2015 DIVA Awards, don’t miss her sexy, camp and energetic DJ set.
After purring her way through clubs and parties the world over, Mardi Gras favourite Kitty Glitter returns home to take the party to a whole new level with a shimmering DJ set with plenty of surprises in store.
Making their Australian debut is London based DJ/production duo Maze and Masters with a fresh House set that will deliver the goods! These girls have played some of the most popular and largest Pride events in Europe, and have remixed for Kylie Minogue among others. London-born but Sydney based popular DJ, Colin Gaff,will also take over the decks, bringing his high energy party pumping playlist to Mardi Gras.
Long time Sydney crowd pleasers, Siesmic [aka James Turnbull] and Tanner Derrby [aka Brendan Terry], will be making their Mardi Gras debut, combining forces under their new DJ names for a dance floor shake up. Their duel-off set is sure to keep you dancing all night long, with current hands in the air anthems, funky deep house, and pop-remixed classics.
After rocking last year’s Party at 4am with an outrageous Kiki that we’ll never forget, global drag star Courtney Act is back for another show-stopping performance that will have to be seen to be believed.
