Brighton & Hove Pride is returning this summer for its 35th edition – and festival organisers have announced two huge stars as headliners of the weekend-long event.
Taking place at the city’s Preston Park on Saturday, August 2 and Sunday, August 3, the annual event sees chart-topping British singer-songwriter RAYE top the bill on the first night, in support of her upcoming second album ‘This Music May Contain Hope’, out March 27.
The following night sees music legend Diana Ross take to the stage for a UK-exclusive performance, packed with her biggest hits from across the decades.
Paul Kemp, Managing Director, said: “We are beyond thrilled to welcome the phenomenal RAYE and the iconic Ms. Ross as our Pride On The Park 2026 headliners. Having first graced our stage in 2018, RAYE’S journey over the past nine years has been nothing short of extraordinary.
“Welcoming the incomparable Diana Ross as our Sunday headliner as a UK live show exclusive is a dream come true. Her legendary voice and catalogue of hits will be an unforgettable moment in Brighton Pride history.”
He continued: “As we proudly celebrate 35 years of Brighton & Hove Pride, we look ahead to an unforgettable weekend that honours the power of love in all its forms. This year promises to be truly momentous – a joyous celebration of inclusivity, unity, and pride, and one we cannot wait to share with you.”
