Manchester Pride will return to the city centre this August bank holiday with a variety of free events and a music festival featuring the likes of Pabblo Vittar, BIMINI, Lisa Scott-Lee and Cheddar Gorgeous.
Taking place from August 25-28, organisers behind this year’s event have promised its ‘most inclusive roster of local and international queer talent to date’.
96% of this year’s performers identify as queer, whilst people of colour represent 51% of the line-up and 42% are from trans and non-binary communities.
Headliners at this year's event are Brazilian drag superstar Pabblo Vittar, Scissor Sisters’ frontman Jake Shears and Danny Beard, the current reigning champion of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK.
