Best to start drinking the water you’ll need to get over your post-Mardi Gras hangover now.

With 12,000 revellers descending upon the Entertainment Quarter for the 2016 Mardi Gras Party, the night is already shaping up to be massive. Providing a soundtrack to the deliciously deranged proceedings will be Mark Alsop, a DJ with over three decades of experience under his belt who will be making his Mardi Gras Party debut.

Alsop and his fellow DJs – including Victoria Anthony and Colin Gaff – will also be joined by a host of drag megastars, most notably Courtney Act, whose 4am Mardi Gras set from a few years back may be fresh in the memory of those who still had the faculties to process exactly what was going on before their very eyes.

Read the lineup hereand stay tuned for further lineup announcements. The Mardi Gras Party happens on Saturday March 5.
