Next year will mark the pop-up festival's fourth season in the city and its earliest visit yet, running from late March until mid-April.
Production company Strut & Fret's founding director Scott Maidment said the region had made its intentions clear.
"Novocastrians have shown us that they are ready and willing for the escapist entertainment of The Spiegeltent," he said.
"We can't wait to introduce our latest circus-cabaret corruption, Blanc De Blanc Encore, which dives back into the Blanc de Blanc world that Newcastle gulped back with enthusiasm in 2018."
The most recent show to visit the Hunter, Deluxe Deluxe, was hosted by Olivier Award-winner Amy G, and featured the glitterati of international circus and cabaret talent.
Their ranks included German aerial artist Penelope Elena; America's 'invertebrate' Anthony Rodriguez; Australia's exotic temptress Zoe Marshall and the UK's drop-dead-gorgeous Busola.
The Blanc de Blanc Encore show has debuted at the Sydney Opera House, bringing back its predecessor's predilection for hedonism and debauchery soaked in champagne.
The show follows several spectacles to hit the Hunter under the famous canopy, following Velvet, Deluxe Deluxe, Absinthe and Empire.
Black De Blanc Encore features live jazz, circus tricks, side-splitting comedy, acrobatics and risque humour.
A full line-up of comedians, musicians and more during the Spiegeltent's Hunter stint will be announced later this year.
The most comedy line-up, which wrapped up in June, featured Newcastle native stand-up Rhys Nicholson.
He joined the troupe for its Hunter stint alongside former Axis of Awesome member Jordan Raskopolous, Dave Hughes, Matt Okine, Joel Creasey and Lawrence Leung.
Tickets are on sale now for the 2020 Blanc De Blanc Encore performances between March 26 and April 29.
