Christina Aguilera confirmed as Brighton Pride headliner
The pop star will perform at the 30th anniversary of the event in August
Pop icon Christina Aguilera has been confirmed as the headline act for the 30th anniversary of Brighton Pride.
The 'Genie in a Bottle' singer, who has been a long term supporter of the LGBTQ+ community, will perform an exclusive show on the 6th of August
In 2019 the six-time Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter was the recipient of the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Ally for Equality Award and in a 2017 special love letter to the LGBTQ community, Aguilera said: “The LGBTQ community has never had it easy, the struggles each one of you faces daily on an individual level and on a broader political and cultural level are unimaginable, yet you keep fighting, you keep moving forward trailblazing and beating all odds with love always in your hearts.”
Paul Kemp, Director of Brighton Pride said: "As we celebrate our (delayed) 30th anniversary, we are really thrilled to have secured an iconic star and LGBTQ+ ally such as Christina Aguilera to perform at the Preston Park Pride festival, our main fundraiser for the Brighton Rainbow Fund. It’s going to be ‘Beautiful’."
