Australia’s original party queen DJ Havana Brown will headline a one-night revival of FAME, GAYM Entertainment’s former Friday night fixture at Universal Sydney, this ANZAC Day Eve.
Best known for hits like “We Run The Night”, “Big Banana” and “Warrior”, Brown will take the stage on April 24 as a DJ for the first official FAME event since the night was benched last April in favour of “Sanctuary”.
Now, the glitter’s being dusted off and the lasers fired back up as FAME relaunches at Universal’s superclub.
“Reimagined as FAME presents, the brand is back to a new format, delivering one-off, high-impact events that capture the energy, glamour and camp that fans of FAME know and love,” GAYM Entertainment told Gay Sydney News.
“Expect world-class headliners, jaw-dropping performances from local and international queens and the same electric vibe, just bigger.”
Head of GAYM Entertainment Jesse Lawson said the relaunch has been in the works for a while.
“We had always planned to get the FAME-ily back together, it was just about timing. And now, we’re ready!”
“FAME was super special to us when we relaunched after COVID; a lot of (now) established DJs and queens had their first shows at FAME.”
Some of those familiar faces will be joining Havana Brown behind the decks or on stage at the relaunch, with Lawson teasing that “big things” are still to come for FAME over the next 12 months.
Early-bird tickets are on sale now for $22.60, general admission tickets are $27.90 and VIP tickets – which include express entry & access to the VIP room, bar & mezzanine balcony – are $43.81.
Pre-purchasing a ticket means you can skip the line, and if you’re in before 11pm, there’s a complimentary drink waiting with your name on it.
