**Daryn Carter, festival director, said:** *“Bristol Pride is one of the largest Pride events in the UK and this year we are again expecting record numbers to attend the festival with our biggest line up to date. With Busted headlining Pride Day and Belinda Carlisle performing on Friday we’re really putting Bristol on the map.*

*As well as showcasing Bristol as a top Pride destination we continue to showcase our LGBT+ community, fighting against hatred and for equality in these uncertain and volatile political times. We continue to provide opportunities for visibility and for us to tackle hate crime and prejudice by offering engaging events that challenge hearts and minds.*

*We have a real variety of artists performing across 3 stages at the festival, all with extended stage times, as well as dedicated family and youth areas. We truly have something for everyone at Pride and welcome everyone to come along, find out more about the LGBT+ community and to show their support”*
