James Daly Photography*** **Brighton & Hove Pride** 2024 kicked off in style on **Saturday, August 3** with spectacular performances throughout the day on the ***FABULOSO*** stage. Kickstarting the day was the annual **Pride** parade, departing **Hove Lawns** at **11am** and streaming colourfully and vibrantly through the city, calling at iconic Brighton landmarks such as the **West Pier** and **Royal Pavilion**. Leading the Parade were a group of community representatives including **Lady Phyll** and **UK Black Pride**, and veteran activist **Ted Brown** of the **Gay Liberation Front**. With this year’s theme of ‘JOY’, hundreds of thousands of fabulous folks lined the streets to show their support, solidarity and allyship and celebrate the glittering parade. The Pride parade showcases hundreds of charities, community groups and small businesses, the emergency services, the NHS and representatives of other Pride organisations, and is a time for the community and allies to come together to protest, party and paint the city rainbow. ![](https://www.scenemag.co.uk/content/images/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/03_pride_2024_sophie-tower-socials-e1722848032766.jpg) James Daly Photography Over in Preston Park at *FABULOSO*, the official Pride community fundraiser, **Beth McCarthy** rocked the crowd with future LGBTQ+ anthems, whilst *RuPaul’s Drag Race UK vs The World S2* winner **Tia Kofi** got the crowd hyped with a flurry of sassy pop-bops. **House Gospel Choir** brought their infectious high energy, and kitchen disco queen **Sophie Ellis Bextor** sprinkled magic all over Preston Park and serenaded the Saturday crowd with hits such as *Take Me Home*, *Music Gets The Best of Me* and the viral hit that refuses to surrender, *Murder on The Dancefloor*. The legendary **Billy Porter** aka **The Black Mona Lisa** was picture perfect as he arrived with a thrilling and theatrical performance taking the crowd on a musical journey, showcasing tracks from his latest album, while also celebrating his ’90s R&B roots and award-winning turns on Broadway. The almighty **Girls Aloud** were Saturday night headliners, leaving Pride-goers in awe with their exclusive and show stopping performance to close the evening. A new stage, new outfits and some serious hairography – the show was full of surprises, including a *Material Girl* cover, a performance of deep cut*Watch Me Go*, which the band haven’t performed since their first arena tour in 2005 and a surprise guest appearance from **Olly Alexander**, who joined the girls in a performance of fan-favourite *The Loving Kind* and Years & Years’ hit *King*. ![](https://www.scenemag.co.uk/content/images/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/04_pride_2024_girls_aloud-selects-approved-socials.jpg) James Daly Photography Flaming cannons, pyrotechnics and so much confetti – *The Girls Aloud Show* was an unforgettable extravaganza filled with laughter, love and beautiful moments dedicated to band member, the late and great **Sarah Harding**.
