Top 10 Sydney Revelry On this week 23/02/2020
Celebrate good times, come on. It’s the 21st Century. There’s at most four of them per year.
10) Pecudet Boat Party
23rd February
What: Pecudet brings you one of the best, most epic boat parties in Sydney. Enjoy good vibes, a beautiful journey along Sydney harbour, great music and better people all connected in one fiesta. A classy line up featuring Argentinian DJs from the local scene. All conditions are on point to make of this a great day. Jump on board!
Why: We’d make a joke about a boatload of Argentinians circling the harbour, but they’re one of the few countries whose people have not, as of yet, been demonised by the anti-immigration Australian government and we don’t want to push their luck.

3) MIKA ‘Revelation’ Tour
26th February
What: Frontier Touring are thrilled to announce a February 2020 tour for international pop sensation MIKA, returning to Australia for the first time in 11 years and performing in New Zealand for the very first time. MIKA will headline four shows as part of his Revelation Tour in the wake of his fifth album My Name Is Michael Holbrook, described by Billboard as “his boldest record yet”. The result of two years of songwriting in Miami and Tuscany, MIKA’s fifth and latest studio album My Name Is Michael Holbrook was recorded using vintage synths in Brussels with producers Marc Crew and Dan Priddy. The entire album features organic soundscapes which speak to various decades of pop and represent MIKA’s journey of self discovery. Tracks of note from this album include ‘Ice Cream’, ‘Tiny Love’, ‘Cry’ and ‘Platform Ballerina’, with MIKA’s “frankly empowering lyrics” [Gigwise], with respect to the beauty standards forced upon women.
Why: A feminist, Lebanese-English pop artist wielding vintage German synths. All he’s missing is his own craft liquor.

1) Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras
22nd February-1st March
What: Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras is one of Australia’s most famous and well-loved events, bringing thousands of visitors to Sydney to join in the celebrations.

The official theme for this year’s festival is ‘What Matters’, encouraging party-goers to reflect on and examine not only how far members of the Australian LGBTIQ+ community have come, but how much further we have to go. From ground-breaking queer artists to trailblazing thought leaders, Mardi Gras 2020 is an opportunity to visit the next destinations on our journey of diversity, inclusion and social justice.
Why: The holiday season is over. Now for the good times.
