Todrick Hall added to main stage line-up at Brighton Pride on Saturday 6th August 2022.

Brighton Pride are thrilled to announce an exclusive performance from the original Quarantine Queen, Todrick Hall.

Fresh from the launch of his brilliant new album Femuline featuring collabs with Chaka Khan, Brandy, Tyra Banks, Ts Madison and Nicole Scherzinger, Todrick has become an inspirational, larger-than-life character, simply by embracing everything he wants to be to become everything he can be.

With over 800 million views on YouTube, he’s worked with Beyoncé, won “Video for Good” VMA as co-executive producer on Taylor Swift’s LGBTQ+ anthem “You Need to Calm Down”, and starred in a selection of Broadway smashes with Billboard summarising his huge appeal as: “He’s part old-school theatre showman, part new-school internet personality, part drag queen… he’s also pushing the boundaries of LGBTQ representation in a business that has historically been unwelcoming to queer people of colour.”

Get ready for new single ‘Boys In The Ocean’ with irresistible funk and disco infectiousness making for a prime pop highlight that celebrates summer escapism.

Christina Aguilera confirmed as headliner on Saturday 6th August for We Are Fabuloso, Brighton & Hove Pride’s official fundraiser for the Brighton Rainbow Fund.

Global Superstar Christina Aguilera is confirmed to headline Brighton & Hove Pride on Saturday 6th August 2022.

Legendary pop icon Christina Aguilera has been announced as the headline act for the 30th anniversary Brighton & Hove Pride celebrations on Saturday 6th August.

Hot on the heels of receiving the Music Icon Award at 2021 People’s Choice Awards, the Grammy Award-winning superstar will perform a Pride exclusive show at Brighton & Hove Pride.

Christina has been a long-time ally of the LGBTQ+ community. From helping raise funds in the fight against HIV/AIDS to advocating for marriage equality and speaking out against anti-LGBTQ bullying, she consistently uses her global superstar platform to share a message of hope and inspiration to those who have been marginalized simply because of who they are.In 2019 the six-time Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter was the recipient of the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Ally for Equality Award and in a 2017 special love letter to the LGBTQ community, Aguilera said,

“The LGBTQ community has never had it easy, the struggles each one of you faces daily on an individual level and on a broader political and cultural level are unimaginable, yet you keep fighting, you keep moving forward trailblazing and beating all odds with love always in your hearts.”

Paul Kemp, Director of Brighton Pride said,

“As we celebrate our (delayed) 30th anniversary, we are really thrilled to have secured an iconic star and LGBTQ+ ally such as Christina Aguilera to perform at the Preston Park Pride festival, our main fundraiser for the Brighton Rainbow Fund. It’s going to be ‘Beautiful’.”

Paloma Faith confirmed as headliner on Sunday 7th August **for We Are Fabuloso, Brighton Pride official fundraiser for the Brighton Rainbow Fund.**

Double platinum and BRIT award-winning artist Paloma Faith is confirmed as headliner on Sunday 7th August 2022 for We Are Fabuloso, Brighton Pride’s official fundraiser for the Brighton Rainbow Fund.

Known for her artful pop theatricality and retro-soul sound, British singer Paloma Faith has garnered both critical acclaim and chart success with her first 4 studio albums going double platinum. After numerous BRIT nominations, she also won her first BRIT Award for British Female Solo Artist in 2015.

With her BBC documentary ‘Paloma Faith: As I Am’ receiving praise from critics and fans for its insight into the pop star’s life and frank discussions around motherhood, and the launch of her Paloma Home collection, Paloma faith has never been busier, but she’s always taken the time to stand firmly beside the LGBTQ community.

In 2020 she was the recipient of the Attitude Honorary Gay Award commenting,

“I’m absolutely thrilled… [The LGBTQ community] just feels like my community. From school age, I’ve had friends who are gay men or girls who aren’t particularly bothered about labelling their sexuality; that’s how I’ve grown up. It’s something that’s part of who I am.

“When I hear homophobia, I take it personally. It feels like I’m defending myself.”

Paloma is also not afraid to use her status as a public figure for good and, as an outspoken feminist, has spoken out on gender inequality in the media and music industry. She also revealed that she refers to her baby as “they” as she raises it in a gender-neutral environment away from what she believes as the harmful effects of “celebrity culture”.

Performing an array of hits from her extensive and much loved repertoire, this Pride exclusive show will have fans singing along to classics such as “Only Love Can Hurt Like This” and “Lullaby” as well as new songs from her fifth studio album “Infinite Things”.

Brighton & Hove Pride is a Pride to be proud of. Alongside the smiles, sunshine and good times, Brighton Pride’s sole ethos is to promote tolerance and diversity within the communities and to organise inclusive events.

We Are Fabuloso is the UK’s biggest LGBTQ+ Pride event with community fundraising at its heart.

Hit-making house duo Gorgon City will be headlining the legendary 6,000 capacity Brighto Pride Dance Big Top this summer.

Gorgon City are world builders. The duo’s shared moniker and computer rendered imagery draw on the hedonism of the ancient Greeks, but also the period’s extraordinary gamut of discovery, creativity, and ambition.Since first teaming up for a run of singles at the turn of the decade, Gorgon City’s Kye Gibbon and Matt Robson Scott have entrenched themselves in global club culture, offering a heady mix of big room house and underground heaters.Over the years Gorgon City have worked with singers like MNEK and Jennifer Hudson, and last year alone racked up 212 million streams on Spotify.

Their DJ sets for Defected’s Virtual Festival were a constant companion through lockdown bringing people together and helping to raising millions at the same time.During lockdown Gorgon City also created the epic album Olympia, with standout tracks like You’ve Done Enough, Tell Me It’s True, Nobody and House Arrest.

Gorgon City’s interest in world building has taken on an even greater significance in the circumstances surrounding the album’s release, as dance music fans have spent over a year pining for their shuttered clubs and constantly reminded of the importance of these spaces and the need to protect and sustain them.

This is not just a DJ set, this will be a euphoric experience like you have never seen before.The pulsating heart of Brighton & Hove Pride, the Pride Dance Tent is set to return to the huge 6,000 capacity big top. Previously playing host to some of clubland’s greats – including international superstar DJs Fatboy Slim, Boy George, DJ Fresh, The Freemasons, Seamus Haji, and Prök & Fitch, if Pride were a religion, the Pride Dance Big Top would be its church. And with yet-more A-list names set to grace its hallowed decks this year, it will serve up the finest house and biggest beats to a crowd that just doesn’t want to stop.
