Saddle Up For A Space-Age Spectacle

LASSÙ Lands In Mackay

Giddy up, Mackay — the most exhilarating event of the year is about to touchdown.

From 18 to 27 July, the Mackay Showgrounds will transform into a galaxy of glitter, grit and gravity-defying glamour as LASSÙ — the adults-only cosmic cabaret — rockets into town. Think space cowboys, alien drifters, and a dash of vintage rodeo magic, all set under a stunning bespoke big top.

This isn’t just a circus. It’s a bold, risqué, interstellar journey through time and space, where the story of Rodeo Clown Rusty unfolds in dazzling acts, seductive aerials, and boundary-pushing stunts — all performed just metres from your seat.

Created by seventh-generation performer Merrik Ashton, LASSÙ fuses old-world circus tradition with jaw-dropping modern spectacle. “This show is something truly special—an electrifying, high-energy production that pushes the boundaries of live entertainment,” Ashton said.

Adding serious star power is Helpmann Award-winning choreographer Mitchell Woodcock, the creative mind behind some of Australia’s biggest stage moments — from The Voice to The FIFA World Cup. Expect a visual feast choreographed with the same precision and punch delivered for the likes of Kylie Minogue and Rita Ora.

With rave reviews and a bold promise to take audiences "beyond the stars," LASSÙ is the winter event that’s anything but cold.
