THEY will be joining Texas, noughties favourites Atomic Kitten, attitude-packed vocal trio, Stooshe and Big Weekend favourite, Lucy Spraggan, plus DJ Fresh, Union J and Stonebridge.
Heather is a huge favourite with Manchester Pride Big Weekend festival goers. She is a patron of Manchester Pride and supports a number of LGBT charities.

Karen Harding has made her mark on the music industry in 2015 with her UK debut single Say Something charting at number seven, she reached the Penultimate Stage of the Eurovision: Your Country Needs You competition and then went onto ‘The X Factor’ where she reached the boot camp stage.
Mark Fletcher, Chief Executive for Manchester Pride, said: “We’re pleased that Heather has confirmed her appearance and she will be showcasing tracks from her latest album ‘The Thin Line’, which is a great piece of work. We are also always proud to support new acts and we can’t wait to hear Karen Harding perform ‘Say Something’ live! She is one of the UK’s up and coming stars and will set the event alight with her presence. As we are announcing more acts we encourage everyone to buy their tickets asap and join us for four days of celebrations in Manchester’s world famous Gay Village as we mark the 25th anniversary of charity fundraising events celebrating LGBT life in Manchester.”
