Glitter Club 2026 Shines Brighter Than Ever with DJ Dan Murphy and Estée Louder

Glitter Club 2026 

The Ultimate Parade-Night Party Returns to Taylor Square

Sydney’s most dazzling night of the year is set to reach new heights as Glitter Club 2026 returns to Taylor Square with an electrifying lineup headlined by DJ Dan Murphy and Estée Louder. As one of the most sought-after premium experiences during the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade, Glitter Club promises a night overflowing with energy, music, connection and unforgettable views of the iconic Parade.

A High-Voltage Night with Two Queer Powerhouses

DJ Dan Murphy, long celebrated as one of Sydney’s most influential queer DJs, brings his trademark energy to Glitter Club following the massive success of Club Broadway and a string of sold-out I Remember House events. His dynamic sets have captivated dancefloors across the city, and in 2026 he is set to transform Taylor Square into an electrifying hub of celebration.

He is joined by Estée Louder, the bold creative force behind Ultra Violet, one of the fastest-selling events of the 2026 Mardi Gras Festival. With her fierce, femme-forward sound and a reputation for pushing boundaries in queer nightlife, Estée brings a fresh pulse to Glitter Club’s already stellar program.

The Best Seats on the Parade Route

Glitter Club has become the premium way to experience the Parade, offering a prime, unobstructed view of the vibrant floats as they glide just metres away. Situated in the beating heart of Taylor Square, the event blends luxury with celebration. Guests will enjoy a raised viewing deck, multiple bars, gourmet food trucks and private amenities, ensuring comfort without missing a moment of the Parade’s magic.

The five-hour entertainment lineup includes DJs, live acts, charismatic hosts and roving performers, with an exciting special guest still to be announced. For those who missed out on other near sell-out Mardi Gras events such as Ultra Violet, Kaftana Pool Party and Paradiso Pool Party, Glitter Club offers a final chance to lock in a premium festival night out.

A Celebration of Community, Culture and ECSTATICA

Glitter Club 2026 

Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras CEO Jesse Matheson describes Glitter Club as the most immersive way to experience the Parade, emphasising the power of bringing DJ Dan Murphy and Estée Louder to the centre of the action. The 2026 Festival theme, ECSTATICA, sets the tone for a city-wide celebration of queer joy, creativity and expression. With the festival continuing to expand through partnerships such as Mardi Gras+ and collaborations with major cultural institutions including Sydney Writers’ Festival, this year’s program promises a vibrant and diverse calendar.
