Raye and Diana Ross have been confirmed as the headliners for this Summer’s Brighton & Hove Pride.
The two-day festival – due to take place on Saturday, August 1 and Sunday, August 2 – is celebrating its 35-year anniversary under the theme ‘The Power of Love’.
Raye is returning for her third appearance, having previously hosted in 2018 and 2022, and will headline the Saturday in support of her forthcoming album This Music May Contain Hope.
Disco legend Ross, meanwhile, makes her Brighton Pride debut and will close the event on Sunday night.
“We are beyond thrilled to welcome the phenomenal RAYE and the iconic Ms. Ross as our Pride on the Park 2026 headliners,” said Brighton Pride MD Paul Kemp.
“Having first graced our stage in 2018, RAYE’S journey over the past nine years has been nothing short of extraordinary.
“Welcoming the incomparable Diana Ross as our Sunday headliner as a UK live show exclusive is a dream come true. Her legendary voice and catalogue of hits will be an unforgettable moment in Brighton Pride history.
“As we proudly celebrate 35 years of Brighton & Hove Pride, we look ahead to an unforgettable weekend that honours the power of love in all its forms. This year promises to be truly momentous – a joyous celebration of inclusivity, unity, and pride, and one we cannot wait to share with you.”
