They will be joined by local legends, Don’t Tell Your Mother, who will be opening the show with their signature twist of unexpected classics and dancefloor classics.

 

Room 2 sees Bristol club night One More Time join the festival for the first time with their massive 90s and 00s party bringing a blend of ultimate pop classics, RnB jams, dance and hip hop to Pride. Local icons Jersey The Devil and Macha Zu present Aether in Room 3 spinning dance, techno and remixes alongside special performances.

 

Returning to The Downs once again, over 200 artists will be performing across five stages. Last year, Jake Shears headlined the Main Stage alongside Natalie Imbruglia and Girls Aloud star, Nadine Coyle –  further details of the 2024 lineup will be announced in the coming months!
