Boy George and TEG Live have joined forces to create FANTABULOSA, a recognition of the LGBTQIA+ community’s powerful impact and contribution to modern popular culture. FANTABULOSA will be a sparkling, sophisticated and memorable event, headlined and curated by Boy George, featuring reinterpretations and tributes to some of the greatest songs ever written.
FANTABULOSA will deliver a unique experience for Boy George’s fans and celebrate the creative output of an amazing community. The event will bring together some of Australia’s brightest stars handpicked by Boy George, including special guests, performer and cultural queen Courtney Act, distinctive multiple award-winning singer songwriter Mo’Ju and ground-breaking multiple ARIA award nominated performer Odette. They will be accompanied by an all-star live band with Musical Direction by Andrew Worboys and Show Direction by Cameron Mitchell.
Boy George said today, “We all know that the power and the creative influence of the LGBTQIA+ community across music, fashion, film, art and design is unmatched in its breadth and depth. After decades of struggle for acceptance we stand proud and united as we continue to colour and shape music, dance, art, film, design and fashion around the world.”
“FANTABULOSA will be about sophistication, high fashion, beautiful music and celebration, and I can’t wait.”
More than just a live show, expect a new twist on iconic songs such as Billie Holiday’s ‘The Man I Love’, David Bowie’s ‘Heroes’, George Harrison’s ‘Here Comes The Sun’ and more, set to the backdrop of a dazzling and high-energy, theatrical display. A proud celebration of diversity and creativity, FANTABULOSA will provide audiences a window into one of the most creative minds of our generation as they go on a musical journey of unity, love and beauty.
A touch of sophistication, a dash of fabulous, FANTABULOSA will be a night to remember!
