Canberra, come out of cold this April and May and experience the warmth of an authentic Spiegeltent. Originally built as travelling dance halls in Germany, these hand-hewn pavilions are built of wood, mirrors and stained glass - detailed with velvet and brocade. With intimate booths, chandeliers and ornate bars the world within a Spiegeltent is utterly unique.

Leaving his incredible band at home, the Killer Solo Tour will see Sultan strip things back to basics. This acoustic performance has Sultan reimagining his most recent release, the critically acclaimed Killer. Fans will also be treated to a handful of classics from his decade-long back catalogue.

A multi-award winning performer, it is Celia’s ability as a writer that makes her stand-up so damn good. A comedian who takes stories in unexpected and delightful directions. Sharp, frank, honest, deft and smart as hell. The stand-up stage is where the journey all started and it’s where she happily returns in 2018.


Lavish and loud, brazen and bold, Trevor Ashley presents an evening of his greatest hits!
