Organisers of Leeds Pride – one of the city’s largest festival weekends of the year – have announced the first wave of acts performing at the 2025 event, which takes place on Sunday, July 20.
Headlining the main stage will be chart-topping band Liberty X who will be performing their biggest hits alongside pop sensations the Cartoons and live from the West End, Queenz the show. Also joining them will be popular dance music artists Kelly Lorena and Booty Luv.
Leeds Pride is gearing up for another huge celebration, after smashing records in 2024 with over 80,000 visitors – its biggest attendance to date, over 160 parade entries and support from 238 businesses.
Plans are well underway to top that this year with a wider food offering, more fantastic parade floats, a bigger line up and a longer, prouder party across Leeds city centre.
Now in its 19th year, Leeds Pride is one of the largest free one-day festivals in Yorkshire and is a major contributor to the local economy. The 2025 festival promises to once again showcase the vibrant culture and people of Leeds with a full calendar of events including fringe celebrations with two stages of artist performances on Millennium Square and Lower Briggate, the Pride Parade, Viaduct Street Party and new for this year, the Leeds Pride Ball.
Terry George, Leeds Pride spokesperson, said: “Preparations for this year’s Pride are in full swing and we are thrilled to have Jet2holidays support Leeds Pride 2025 as headline sponsor for the second year running. Each year the city surpasses itself in its support of Leeds Pride and we were overwhelmed by last year’s record-breaking event and electric atmosphere. We have lots more surprises up our sleeves, with an even better festival programme this year for everyone to enjoy.”
“Of course, the event wouldn’t be possible without our dedicated team and sponsors, and we would like to invite any individuals or organisations that wish to be part of this year’s festival to contact the team for more information on how to get involved.”
