Feels so good: Leeds Pride reveal big name acts and calendar of events for 2024.
Leeds Pride recently announced their ambitious plans for the city’s huge 2024 festival and true to their word, the roster of live talent taking to the various stages is the best to date. And it doesn’t end there.
Not only will this year’s celebration be the largest in scale with the likes of Call Lane joining the party, but a week-long calendar of events will ensure nobody misses the fun. Headlining the main stage on Sunday 21st of July is world class DJ and chart-topping artist Sonique. The Brit Award Winning artist is famous for a string of dance-floor hits, including her platinum selling no1 single ‘It Feels So Good’. X-Factor winner and Clean Bandit collaborator Louisa Johnson is also set to perform, as well as a myriad of the fiercest Yorkshire drag acts. Other highlights include 90’s dance legends Baby D and Alex Party, a Madonna tribute act and DJ sets from Defected Records Monki and Joel Mignott. Partygoers will also be able to enjoy increased set times, with this year’s calendar of acts performing between 12pm and
10pm.
Organisers have listened to feedback from last year’s event and increased the facilities throughout the city including more food vendors, bars and the finest street food within the site. Just like previous years, Leeds Pride is a free event, which has been made possible with some fantastic support from both local and national businesses.
This year’s headline sponsor is none other than Jet2holidays, who have a strong presence in the city and have long been proud supporters of the LGBTQ+ community. Other sponsors include Sky, First Buses, Direct Line, Evri and the return of Sainsbury’s.
Many businesses across the city are getting on board by creating their own fringe events, including Everyman Cinema who will be screening the feel-good British classic Pride on the 18th of July.
