Liverpool’s Pride is set to return as one of the UK’s standout LGBTQ+ events this summer, as organisers unveil a significantly expanded, city-wide programme designed to attract visitors from across the country.

Taking place across 24–25 July, the weekend will transform Liverpool into a major Pride destination, with organisers expecting thousands of attendees from across the UK, with great events taking place at the Liverpool Experience Campus.

The weekend will begin with a major opening party at Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena on Friday 24 July, featuring iconic acts including Sugababes, Beth Ditto, Bimini, Tia Kofi, House Gospel Choir and Horse Meat Disco all line up alongside dozens of leading Liverpool LGBTQ+ Community performers, who will be announced during Pride Month, marking one of the UK’s most exciting Pride line-ups outside London.

Alongside major headline events, Liverpool’s Pride will deliver a vibrant community programme on Saturday 25 July at Liverpool Experience Campus on the city’s waterfront. Hosted by Debbie Darling, the event will showcase LGBTQ+ talent and voices, with performances including House of Suarez, Sonia and Jester Boy, alongside further special guests.
