Mardi Gras brings back after-party in Allianz Stadium's underground tunnels
Fatboy Slim and PNAU headline Mardi Gras' after-party in Allianz Stadium's service tunnels on 6 March.
Sydney's Mardi Gras is bringing back its after-party for March 2027. The venue will be unusual: large tunnels beneath Allianz Stadium at Moore Park.
UK star Fatboy Slim and local act PNAU will headline. International acts Jaguar, Elkka and MikeQ will also perform.
Local acts Kito and Stereogamous complete the lineup. The party marks the first time the stadium's underground service areas will be used for entertainment.
For the first time in 48 years, Mardi Gras cancelled its ticketed party in February 2026. The cancellation came weeks before the parade.
The headliner dropped out and costs went up. The organisation has faced money problems after running at a loss since 2020.
Chief executive Jesse Matheson said the tunnels can fit thousands of people and provide a warehouse underground feeling. Tickets go on presale 9 November and general sale 13 November.
