Manchester Pride 2023: Stage times and line-up across the four-day weekend as annual event gets underway

Manchester Pride continues to be one of the country’s biggest celebrations of the LGBTQ+ community and this year’s festival will be no different.

With a range of free and ticketed events taking place across the city-region throughout the four-day August Bank Holiday weekend, there is plenty to see and do from watching the parade through the city centre, enjoying family-friendly stages, living it up with some late night parties and enjoying some local performers take to the stage.

The Gay Village Party in Sackville Gardens will be where a host of local and international artists will be performing throughout the weekend with action taking place from Friday (August 25) to Monday (August 28).

This year’s line-up is as diverse as it gets and is made up of 96 per cent of queer performers. A large focus on the bill has also been given to women, people of colour, those in trans and non-binary communities and allies.

Throughout the weekend, there will be appearances from the likes of Danny Beard, Jake Shears, Alison Goldfrapp, Pabllo Vittar, BIMINI, Lisa Scott-Lee, Lucky Roy Singh, Cheddar Gorgeous, Black Peppa, Ginny Lemon and plenty more.
