After a three year hiatus due to the Covid pandemic, Pride is back in Newcastle in a big way this weekend as the city has the honour of hosting UK Pride - nearly four years after the announcement was first made.
The central hub of Northern Pride's vast line-up of festivities this year is the Town Moor, where the fun will get going on Friday with the Launch Party, featuring the likes of Todrick Hall, Katy B and Bimini. Proceedings will kick off on Saturday with the Pride March from the Civic Centre, which will then lead up to the Moor in time for acts starting on the Main Stage, Be Scene Stage and Curious Arts Stage.
Newcastle Pride acts this year include Saturday headliner Melanie C, who will round things off with a DJ set; Eternal member turned solo diva Louise, the North East's own former X Factor winner Joe McElderry, who will both take the stage on Sunday and Drag Idol Newcastle champion turned Drag Race UK icon Choriza May, who is also on on Saturday.
