This year’s lineup is nothing short of iconic, featuring the legendary Sugababes, the fierce Beth Ditto from Gossip, and the dazzling Bimini from RuPaul’s Drag Race UK. These stars are set to light up the stage at Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena on Friday, July 24, promising a night of unforgettable performances that will have you dancing in the aisles!
But wait, there’s more! The festivities don’t stop at the concert. The city’s annual Pride March will strut its stuff on Saturday, July 25, alongside a vibrant community program hosted by local drag sensation Debbie Darling. Expect to see a fabulous array of performers, including Sonia, House of Suarez, and Jester Boy, all coming together to celebrate love and acceptance.
In a time when many Pride events across the UK are facing financial challenges, Liverpool Pride is determined to rise above. Organizers are working tirelessly to create a festival that is not only a celebration but also a protest and a promise to the LGBTQ+ community. Mark Christopherson from Sahir House, the local LGBTQ+ and HIV charity benefiting from this event, stated, “We’ve worked hard to rebuild something bigger, more inclusive, and more ambitious.” And we couldn’t agree more!
James Doherty of LCR Pride Foundation added, “Pride is a protest, a celebration, and a promise to our community. This year, we are making good on that promise.” So, whether you’re a local or traveling from afar, Liverpool Pride is set to be a weekend of joy, unity, and empowerment.
