Ahead of its premiere next month, some huge names have been confirmed to appear on the upcoming RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under series.

Kylie and Dannii Minogue, as well as New Zealand filmmaker Taika Waititi (who's in the country filming the latest Thor), will all appear on the upcoming season, starting from 1 May on Stan.

“I’m SO excited to finally be a part of RuPaul’s Drag Race for the first series Down Under," Kylie Minogue said.

"It’s such an iconic show and I can’t wait to watch the contestants perform their hearts out to win the title of Down Under’s first Drag Superstar!”

Dannii Minogue added, “I got to have a cheeky ‘Untucked’ chat with the girls on RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under Season one.

"They had come straight from the runway challenge so it was exciting and tense all at the same time, not knowing who was going to have to lip sync for their life!”

Filmed in New Zealand, host RuPaul Charles is joined by series co-host Michelle Visage and Australian comedian Rhys Nicholson on the judging panel, with additional celebrity judges to be revealed soon. 

Ten queens have been announced as competitors for the season with Anita Wigl’it (Auckland, NZ), Art Simone (Geelong, VIC), Coco Jumbo (Sydney, NSW), Elektra Shock (Auckland, NZ), Etcetera Etcetera (Sydney, NSW), JoJo Zaho (Newcastle, NSW), Karen From Finance (Melbourne, VIC), Kita Mean (Auckland, NZ), Maxi Shield (Sydney, NSW) and Scarlet Adams (Perth, WA) all vying for the title.
