Magda’s Glitter Club

Glitter Club is now Magda’s Glitter Club, honouring Magda Szubanski — trailblazing comedian, actor, author and LGBTQIA+ advocate whose legacy continues to shape our community.

From Fast Forward and Big Girl’s Blouse to Kath & Kim and The D-Generation, Magda has defined Aussie comedy for decades — noice, different, unusual, and utterly iconic.

This year’s Mardi Gras Community Float, “ECSTATICA about Magda,” celebrates six fan favourites: Chenille, Lynette Flannel, Gina Minehart, Michelle, Lynne Postlethwaite and Sharon Strzelecki. So crack the Tia Maria and pass the footy franks — we’re toasting a true legend.

The Mardi Gras Community Float is powered by volunteers from all walks of life. Final tickets to Magda’s Glitter Club are on sale now. Arrive early for the Parade or watch live on Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Saturday 28 February, 7:30pm AEDT.

Up close. Unfiltered. Unforgettable.
Step into Magda’s Glitter Club — the ultimate premium vantage point for the 2026 Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade, right in the heart of Taylor Square. This isn’t just watching the Parade. It’s feeling every beat.

Raised viewing deck. Dedicated bars. Curated food. Private amenities. Total immersion.

Headlining the only premium viewing experience on the route: DJ Dan Murphy and Estée Louder (Jess Hill). Fresh from sold-out Club Broadway and I Remember House, DJ Dan Murphy brings a high-voltage set built for the Parade. Estée Louder — the force behind Ultra Violet — delivers her fierce, femme-led sound straight to Taylor Square.

Plus a riotous Kath & Kim tribute from Carmen Geddit & Charisma Belle, and live performances by Enchanting Energy, King Kael, Rachel Dryden, Spice Princess and Via.

Magda’s Glitter Club isn’t just a place to watch.
It’s where Mardi Gras comes alive.

Glitter Club. Premium viewing. Peak energy. Pure Mardi Gras magic.
