Wanna Share An Uber With G Flip?

Uber and G Flip have teamed up to offer free rides for punters heading to Sydney’s Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras party this weekend.

The free service Uber is offering is an Uber Pool – often a shared lift – from 12 pm to 10 pm today. Sharing an Uber with G Flip can happen through a competition run by Uber. If you’re keen, you can register your interest in sharing a lift with the Be Your Man singer here.

As Buzzfeed notes, each Uber Pool ride shared with G Flip this Mardi Gras Saturday will find Uber making donations to Minus18, the country’s national charity that aims to improve the lives of young LGBTQIA+ people.

In a statement, G Flip said they’re “stoked” to be home for “one of my favourite days of the year”.

On being back in Sydney for Mardi Gras this weekend, they added, “I’m going to be hopping in a few Uber Pool rides on the day of the parade, so stay safe, book an Uber, and hopefully, we can hang out for a cheeky little ride! Happy Mardi Gras, beautiful humans!”

American singer Adam Lambert is headlining this year’s Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras with support from the iconic Ultra Naté, known for her hit 1997 track Free.

Other 2024 Mardi Gras music highlights include Slayyyter (USA) hosting an Australian exclusive performance, AK Sports (US) and Jennifer Loveless (GER) transforming Liberty Hall into a Boiler Room, MAY-A headlines Ultra Violet, which will see the National Art School converted into a space just for LGBTQIA+ women, and Cub Sport headline the glittering street party Laneway.

They’re just some of the highlights, with over 150 artists and entertainers on the line-up. You can view the entire program here.

In other G Flip news, the performer has hit a new milestone by being nominated for the 2024 APRA Song Of The Year. Featuring on the shortlist for the first time, G Flip has impressively received two nods – for Be Your Man and The Worst Person Alive.

Their latest album, DRUMMER, was named one of our favourite Australian albums of 2023 and debuted at #1 upon its release back in August. You can read The Music’s recent cover story with G Flip here.
