BRIGHTON&HOVE 2022
PRIDE
Brighton and Hove have waited so long for the return of the city's epic Pride event, but no-one will be disappointed when the delayed 30th anniversary Pride celebrations truly blast the city into a new era this summer.

ulminating in a weekend of campaigning, celebrating and fundraising for LGBTQ+ and community projects in Brighton & Hove over 6th & 7th August 2022, Pride is a celebration of how far we have come, but it is also an ongoing campaign for those marginalised communities at home and abroad who still suffer persecution on a daily basis. Brighton and Hove Pride fundraising events will ensure that vital funds continue to be raised for local LGBTQ+ and community projects. This massive event promises to be an even more euphoric experience in 2022 than ever before, with headline acts of iconic status. The pulsating heart of Brighton & Hove Pride, the Pride Dance Tent is set to return to the huge 6,000 capacity Big Top. Previously playing host to some of clubland's greats – including international superstar DJs Fatboy Slim, the one and only Boy George, DJ Fresh, The Freemasons, Seamus Haji, and Prök & Fitch, if Pride were a religion, the Pride Dance Big Top would be its church. And with yet more A-list names set to grace its hallowed decks this year, it will serve up the finest house and biggest beats to a crowd that just doesn't want to stop. With headline acts whose veins run with passion for everything Pride stands for, the 2022 event will be soul-warming. Hit-making house duo Gorgon City will be headlining the legendary 6,000 capacity Pride Dance Big Top. Paloma Faith, known for her artful pop theatricality and retro-soul sound, is confirmed to headline Sunday's We Are Fabuloso on 7th August. Global superstar and eternal icon Christina Aguilera will headline on Saturday 6th August. The main stage line-up will be added to with an exclusive performance from the original Quarantine Queen, Todrick Hall. Getting everybody's party started in the Big Top, Gorgon City are world builders. Last year alone they racked up 212 million streams on Spotify. Their DJ sets for Defected's Virtual Festival were a constant companion through lockdown, bringing people together and helping to raising millions at the same time.
