Northern Pride Festival will host UK Pride at Newcastle’s Town Moor from 22 to 24 July 2022, with a packed programme of events scheduled across the region during the countdown to the weekend.
Organisers have revealed a stellar line up for their Friday night fundraiser, with Broadway star, famed choreographer and award-winning performer Todrick Hall headlining the launch party.
Joining him on the line-up is Bimini Bon Boulash, who rose to fame and became a firm fan favourite after appearing on the second season of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK.
The festival will also welcome back renowned DJ Jodie Harsh – who headlined last year’s virtual event, Northern Pride Online 2.1.
A staple on the UK club scene, the acclaimed producer has played for audiences across the globe and taken to the stage at huge events including Glastonbury, Creamfields and Bestival.
Ste Dunn, director of Northern Pride, hopes that Pride supporters will get behind the launch party fundraiser. He said:
'After hosting behind a screen for the last two years, we are delighted to be returning with an in-person festival and I can’t think of a better line-up to kick off the weekend.''
