Nick Jonas, Courtney Act, Betty Who Headlining Sydney Gay And Lesbian Mardi Gras
Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras, the world's biggest Pride celebration, is going full steam ahead as you read this.
But the culmination of the 17-day festival is tomorrow: First it's the massive parade down Oxford Street, followed by the Night of Nights after-party in Moore Park, where Nick Jonas, Courtney Act, Rufus Wainwright, Dannii Minogue, Jake Shears, Betty Who and R&B singer Jessica Mauboy all perform.
Courtney, a fixture at Mardi Gras, has been hosting a special pop up MTV Pride channel for MTV Australia all week, along with fellow Drag Race star Bianca Del Rio. (Can you believe they let her in the country?)
Betty, named Best New Female Artist at the 2014 NewNowNext Awards, revealed her excitement in a recent tweet.
It's all happening!!! At the airport getting ready to head to Sydney for Mardis Gras! Can't wait to see all my Aussie babes— Betty Who (@BettyWho) March 1, 2015
Nick, meanwhile, is well aware of his gay fanbase, and knows that Pride celebration can get pretty wild: "Some people do enjoy the Mardi Gras for more than consciousness-raising," he joked to The Sydney Morning Herald.
"From what I've heard from my Aussie friends, this is one of the biggest and best celebrations in the world... Being part of that is exciting."
Nick's also teased that he'll be doing a surprising cover song during his Mardi Gras set. Dare we hope it's "It's Raining Men"?
