Manchester Pride has unveiled further details of its 2023 line-up for the festival that will take place over the August Bank Holiday weekend.
Co-created with Manchester’s LGBTQ+ community, this year’s roster puts representation and inclusivity at the forefront. The Gay Village Party boasts its most diverse line-up to date, as 96 per cent of performers are queer, 54 per cent are women, 51 per cent are people of colour and 42 per cent are from trans and non-binary communities, according to the event’s organisers.
Headline acts include Brazilian drag icon Pabllo Vittar, Scissor Sisters frontman Jake Shears and Drag Race UK winner Danny Beard.
Manchester Pride organisers have also teased “another top-tier act” that will deliver a headline performance on Saturday (in addition to Pabllo’s) and is yet to be revealed.
