Adore Delano was one of the stars of season 6, the season that saw the crowning of Bianca del Rio. After finishing in the Top 3 of this sixth season, she has just released her second album, "AfterParty".

Same season and same place in the ranking of "RuPaul's Drag Race" for Courtney Act. The troubling Australian draq queen was the first drag queen to sing live in 2014, with the San Francisco Symphony.

Jinkx Monsoon will also participate in the Paris show. After winning the fifth season of "RuPaul's Drag Race," she released two studio albums.

Winner of the fourth season, Sharon Needles honors her presence, true to herself: unconventional makeup and dark, sometimes morbid clothing.

Finally Pandora Boxx finished 5th of the second season. No less than six musical albums to her credit, the last of which was released in 2015: "Unicorn".

The event will be held less than a month after the American launch of the eighth season of "RuPaul's Drag Race", on March 07. This year, twelve drag queens are vying for the title of America's Next Drag Superstar, the latest holder of which is Violet Chachki. In addition to the prize, prestigious in the world of drag queens, the winner will be rewarded with 100 000 dollars.
