Brighton Pride have announced their Saturday headliner as RAYE, whilst Diana Ross is set to headline the Sunday.

The annual festival is taking place on Saturday 1st August and Sunday 2nd August, marking the city's 35th anniversary of Pride.

Saturday 1st August will see RAYE perform at Preston Park. The artist has landed 20 UK Top 40 singles since her debut, as well as over 10 billion streams worldwide and recent number 1 "Where is my Husband."

Diana Ross will take the stage as headliner on Sunday 2nd August, marking a 'UK event Exclusive' according to Brighton Pride. Audience members are expected to see a "career-spanning set of timeless classics, including 'Aint No Mountain High Enough,' and 'I'm coming out.'

The annual Pride on the Park began back in 1991, with this year's event being titled "The Power of Love."

Brighton's first gay pride took place in 1973, organised by the Sussex gay liberation front, formed in 1971 by students and local LGBTQ+ activists.
