There'll be no 'evacuating the dancefloor' when this artist steps onto the stage in 2025 - as Cascada are the first announcement to perform at next summer's Bristol Pride Day.

Known for their unforgettable hits like “Everytime We Touch”, the celebrated German act will have hearts beating fast on Saturday 12th July, as the festival takes over The Downs with over 200 performers across five stages.

With over 30 million albums sold worldwide, Cascada has been a defining force in dance music since the mid-2000s.

Their infectious beats and feel-good lyrics have made them a staple in LGBT+ spaces, celebrated for their ability to unite audiences on the dancefloor.

Cascada’s performance at Bristol Pride 2025 is described as promising 'a nostalgic yet euphoric experience, perfectly aligning with the festival’s vibrant and inclusive spirit'.

Daryn Carter MBE, Pride Director, said: “We always aim to bring a wide breadth of performers to Pride Day each year, and 2025’s edition is no exception. Cascada is guaranteed to bring nostalgia, fun and of course back-to-back bangers to crowds. This is just a taste of what’s to come so mark those diaries and get ready for more massive line-up announcements in the new year!”

More announcements are set to come in the new year, whilst Bristol Pride will also see a return to a dynamic two-week programme featuring comedy, theatre, circus and sports events.

At the heart of the celebration is the Parade March, which proudly weaves through the city centre as a powerful expression of unity, visibility and pride, leading to The Downs where all the musical action will take place.
