Hold onto your rainbow flags, folks! The Milton Keynes Pride Festival 2026 is turning up the volume with a headline act that’s sure to get everyone dancing. Yes, you heard it right! The fabulous Tulisa, former frontwoman of N-Dubz, has been announced as the closing act for this year’s festival, and we couldn’t be more excited!
Set to take place at Campbell Park on Saturday, September 12, 2026, this year’s Pride promises to be a spectacular celebration of love, solidarity, and resilience within the LGBTQ+ community. MK Pride Director Keith Emmett III gushed, “Tulisa remains one of the UK’s most recognisable artists and we’re looking forward to welcoming her to MK Pride for what promises to be a fantastic event.”

And let’s be real, who wouldn’t want to see Tulisa belt out her greatest hits? Fans are already buzzing with anticipation, and with more performers yet to be announced, the festival is shaping up to be a monumental celebration. Last year’s MK Pride attracted a whopping 20,000 attendees, so you know this year is going to be just as epic!
But it’s not just about the music. MK Pride 2026 is all about inclusivity and community spirit. The festival is free to attend, inviting members of the LGBTQ+ community and their allies from across the UK to join in the festivities. Expect a day filled with family-friendly activities, independent traders, and food stalls that’ll make your taste buds dance!
And here’s a fun fact for you: Tulisa identifies as demisexual, meaning she experiences sexual attraction only after forming a strong emotional bond with someone. She opened up about her orientation on the reality show I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, proving that she’s not just a pop star, but a relatable queen!
As we gear up for this fabulous event, it’s important to remember the legacy of Pride and the heroes who fought for our rights. Last year, MK Pride honored the late drag superstar The Vivienne, who made waves in the community and left a lasting impact. This year, we can expect to see the same level of love and respect for those who paved the way for us.
