As the vibrant city of Manchester gears up for its annual Pride festival, the anticipation reaches new heights with the announcement of this year’s headliners. Eurovision victor Loreen alongside chart-topping artist Jessie J are poised to take the stage, promising an electrifying celebration of love, diversity, and unity.
A Celebration of Queer Excellence
Manchester Pride 2024, a cornerstone event in the LGBTQ+ calendar, not only promises spectacular performances by its headliners but also an impressive array of talent. From drag royalty to music sensations like Bimini and Katy B, the festival is a testament to the rich tapestry of the queer community. As the city’s streets and the “most beautiful and glamorous car park in the western hemisphere” prepare to host the festivities, attendees can expect a weekend filled with joy, music, and solidarity.
A Festival with a Cause
Amidst the celebration, Manchester Pride remains committed to its roots of activism and support for the LGBTQ+ community. With a portion of ticket sales contributing to the Manchester Pride Community Fund, the festival not only entertains but also supports vital causes within the community. As the festival unfolds under the theme “Buzzin’ to be Queer – A Hive of Progress,” it symbolizes the ongoing journey towards equality, with the iconic worker bee emblem of Manchester serving as a powerful reminder of the collective strength and resilience of the LGBTQ+ community.
