Brighton & Hove Pride will mark its 35th anniversary in August 2026 with an impressive line-up including Paris Hilton.
The early 2000s It Girl will headline the festival's main stage on 2nd August.
Holly Johnson, recognised from the band Frankie Goes to Hollywood, will take the Legends slot and will embody this year’s theme, The Power of Love.
The festival will also feature pop artist Leigh-Anne, Australian performer G Flip, Moonchild Sanelly, and Melanie C from the Spice Girls delivering a DJ set.
The dance arena will include acts such as The Blessed Madonna, HAAi, I.Jordan, Hannah Wants, Bimini, Daniel Avery, Patrick Mason, and Girls Don’t Sync, along with headliners Armand Van Helden and Purple Disco Machine.
RAYE and Diana Ross are set to headline the Pride on the Park stage, with performances by Jessie J, RuPaul, Self Esteem, and Five expected as well.
The 35-year milestone reflects Pride’s journey since its beginning in 1973 by the Sussex Gay Liberation Front.
Paul Kemp, Managing Director, said, "This year feels incredibly special as we celebrate 35 years of Brighton & Hove Pride.
"We want to reflect on the journey since the early 90s, celebrate how far we’ve come as a community but also look ahead to the future and how far we’ve still to go.
"This year’s Pride on the Park line-up reflects such a breadth of talent across many generations and we know Pride-goers are in for such an incredible experience. Let’s celebrate the power of love in all its forms - roll on August!"
