Dua Lipa has been confirmed to headline the iconic Mardi Gras Party.
Sydney Gay And Lesbian Mardi Gras on Friday announced the What Matters program will centre around inclusion, equality and amplifying the voices of the marginalised.
The UK singer, who is in Sydney this month to perform at the ARIA awards, will join performers and DJs from home and abroad at the party, which takes place at Hordern Pavilion after the Mardi Gras Parade on Saturday February 29.
Organisers said the ticketed after party will look different this year with the venue transformed into a new adult play land and multi-sensory feast with music, light and, of course, gay anthems to keep the post-parade festivities going.
Speaking of gay anthems, Dua Lipa is hot off the heels of unveiling her new single Dont Start Now and giving one of the performances of the night at last Sundays MTVs EMAs with her rendition of the disco-tinged track.
The chart-topping star was tasked with opening the ceremony held in Seville, Spain and kicked things off against a wall of dancers in yellow bodysuits.
