Brighton Pride in August is the jewel in the British LGBT summer and it’s fast approaching. The centrepiece is the festival in Preston Park on Saturday 5 August. The team have already confirmed The Pet Shop Boys, Years and Years and many more acts for the main stage but we now have information on line-ups for other parts of Pride, here’s a preview of just a few.
The Legends Cabaret Tent
Preston Park – Saturday 5 August
For many people the Legend’s Cabaret Tent at Brighton Pride is the UK cabaret event of the year. Organised and hosted by Brighton’s undisputed queen of everything, Lola Lasagne, it’s a thing of sparkling sequined beauty and once again Lola has pulled together an amazing show. In that big gloriously over the top camp tent you get The D.E. Experience, Mary Mac, Mrs Moore, Sally Vate, Martha D’Arthur, Davina Sparkle, Kara Van Park, Son of a Tutu, Rose Garden, CK, Sandra, Dave Lynn, Miss Jason, Maisie Trollette, Drag With No Name and a hell of a lot more. Unmissable!
