Fatboy Slim and PNAU Headline Sydney Mardi Gras Party 2027
Fatboy Slim, PNAU, ELKKA and Griffin Maxwell Brooks will headline the Sydney Mardi Gras Party on 6 March 2027, Billboard reported on 10 November 2026. The party runs from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. and will take place in the tunnels underneath Allianz Stadium in Sydney.
Fatboy Slim will lead the main room. His son, Woody Cook, is on the same bill. PNAU will play a DJ set, and GiRLTHING and FLASH will each curate a stage.
The underground space is being turned into a dance venue with three stages, several dancefloors and hidden rooms. The site sits at the end of the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade route, so the night closes the parade's celebrations. The Mardi Gras Midnight Community Show will return above ground in the stadium forecourt, the open paved area outside the building.
The party was missing from the 2026 festival, so its return is the headline change for the year. The wider 2027 Mardi Gras program runs for 24 days, from 12 February through 7 March 2027. This year's festival theme is HYPERBLOOM. Jesse Matheson is chief executive of Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. The party is presented by Bizarro and Kicks Entertainment.
Tickets go on sale in two stages. Public early access begins on 12 November at 11 a.m. AEDT, the Australian Eastern Daylight Time used in Sydney in summer. General sales open the next day, 13 November, at the same time.
Mardi Gras will mark its 50th anniversary in 2028, a year after this party. For the people who run the night, a 2027 bill is the first step towards that milestone.
