RAZILIAN DRAG SUPERSTAR PABLLO VITTAR AND PHENOMENAL DJ'S ANNOUNCED FOR MARDI GRAS PARTY

Pioneering drag artist Pabllo Vittar and a slew of incredible local and international DJ’s have just been announced to join this year’s epic Mardi Gras Party line-up on Saturday 29 February, 2020.

Ahead of her Australian debut, Pabllo Vittar has donated to the WIRES Wildlife Rescue. She notes, “The world is seeing what Australia is going through right now, I have donated to WIRES Wildlife Rescue and I encourage you guys to do the same."

Exploding onto the scene in 2014 a fully-formed superstar, Vittar is one of South America’s most popular exports and the most followed drag queen on social media. She has amassed half a billion Spotify streams and a billion YouTube views, and earlier this year was the first drag queen to ever win an MTV Music Award.

Vittar’s innate swagger and powerful vocals have seen her collaborate with high-profile music acts like Major Lazer, Charli XCX, Sofi Tukker, Anitta, and Diplo. ‘Flash Pose’, Vittar’s first single from her highly anticipated third album ‘111’, is already on regular rotation on dance floors around the world and has racked up an impressive 18 million views online.

An outspoken advocate, Vittar uses her platform as a popstar to demand equality for LGBTQI communities in Brazil and beyond, fusing the personal with the cultural and political, and refusing not to hide who she is to the world.

This year's Mardi Gras Party is also set to feature an electrifying line-up of local and international DJs including: Ayebatonye, Cupids Cut, Charlie Villas, DJ Kilimi, Estée Louder, Kate Doherty, Magda Bytnerowicz, Trinity, Whiskey Houston, DJ Hamo, Kate Monroe, DJ Nate, Atomic Blonde & Dutch Kiss, Dameeeela, Barry Harris (CAN), Midland (UK) and DJ Joelby (UK)

Pabllo Vittar and this year’s monster line-up of DJs join previously announced pop sensations Dua Lipa and Kesha for what is set to be an unmissable night of revelry.

The Mardi Gras Party is Australia’s most treasured LGBTQI Party! 2020 will see Mardi Gras transform the Hordern Pavilion and surrounding areas into a brand-new adult play land, bursting with music, light and performance across new fantasy worlds for you to immerse yourself. Continue riding the joyous vibes post-Parade as our communities come together in this multi-sensory feast.
