We celebrated Pride with a Pride Throwback Weekend on MFR on the August Bank Holiday weekend!

As many Pride events around the country were cancelled this year due to Covid-19 restrictions, we had a HUGE party to celebrate Pride, playing Pride throwback anthems all weekend!

You heard songs from iconic Pride artists including Cheryl, Lady Gaga, Sam Smith and Years & Years.

Not only that, we played the biggest hits from the likes of Ariana Grande, Kylie Minogue, Jess Glynne and Dua Lipa to get you ready for the dancefloor!
