Feast, Adelaide's Queer Arts and Cultural Festival Launches 2018 Program Featuring Reality Star Gamble from The Real Housewives of Melbourne and More

The annual Feast Festival returns with a flurry of pink feathers as it is set to descend upon Adelaide for two weeks bursting with Queer art and culture. The majestic and elegant pink flamingo is this year's theme for a program that supports LGBTIQ+ South Australian artists and event producers across a range of genres.

This year Feast introduces three Ambassadors aka Feast Alumni, music legend and 2012 Feast Ambassador Libby O'Donovan who met her wife Beccy Cole at the 2012 Feast Festival. Daniel Clarke, former 2007 Artistic Director for Feast whose career has gone from strength to strength across the nation including Creative Producer Arts Centre Melbourne, and Will Sergeant whose alter ego Dr. Gertrude Glossip has participated in every Feast since its inception in 1997.

Each year the Festival kicks off with the Pride March followed by all the glitter and glam of the Opening Night Party which will be headlined by the Real Housewives of Melbourne star, Gamble Breaux. After releasing her first single This Time feat. Jason Singh earlier this year Gamble is ready to perform live to a 2,000 plus crowd at the event and will be treating Feast goers to an exclusive song written for Feast's Opening Night.

"I am thrilled to be part of Feast's Opening Night Party, not only because I love the city and people of Adelaide but the LGBT community have been such a huge support to my career so I want to return the favour," said Gamble.

Gamble recently released another single I Can't Tell You Why - a soulful easy rock track but Gamble wants to change things up and get the Opening Night Party crowd dancing the night away.

"I'm laying down a few dance tracks at the moment which I hope the Adelaide crowd will love and I'm also currently writing a song especially for Feast - so it'll be one night to remember," said Gamble.

Joining Gamble on the Opening Night Party stage will be Miss Burlesque Adelaide 2018 winner, Vivienne Von Coffin, band Bad Habits delivering their powerhouse alt-country soul with smoky harmonies and Adelaide DJ sensation Seb Jay to name a few.

Feast Festival runs for 16 days and includes a variety of events including cabaret, theatre, comedy, music, literature, conversations and concludes with the family friendly event Picnic in the Park. A great day to be out in the sun where you can bring along your picnic blankets and baskets and enjoy the serenity of Pinky Flat. There will be an assortment of local market stalls, food vendors and community information stands. The day is fun for the whole family - with the annual dog show taking place, as well as the SA firefighters tug-of-war all to the back drop of musical beats from radio station Hit 107, a great day for all.

As always, Feast celebrates all that is Queer Culture including outrageous Drag Queens and inclusive community events to gut-wrenching performances that examine what it means to be queer, and how hard it still is, even with same sex marriage now being legalised in Australia.
