RuPaul’s Drag Race icon and All Stars winner Trinity the Tuck has been announced for Bristol Pride 2026, appearing on the Cabaret Stage on Pride Day, Saturday, 11 July, organisers have confirmed.
One of the most celebrated performers in Drag Race history, Trinity the Tuck rose to fame on season nine of RuPaul’s Drag Race before winning All Stars 4 alongside Monét X Change. Known for polished glamour and sharp comedy, the drag superstar joins a headline line-up that already includes Sister Sledge, Jason Donovan and Catrin Feelings.
Trinity the Tuck replaces previously announced performer Myki Meeks, who has withdrawn due to filming commitments following a recent Drag Race win.
The Cabaret Stage will also feature RuPaul’s Drag Race UK finalist Catrin Feelings and more than 30 drag and cabaret performers from Bristol and across the UK, alongside immersive performances from Pom Pom’s Playhaus.
Beyond Pride Day, Bristol Pride’s two-week festival, running from 27 June to 12 July, will host more than 45 events across the city, with further announcements still to come. Highlights include Pride Circus Night at Circomedia, the return of the Bristol Pride Ceilidh at Bristol Beacon, and a special 30th anniversary screening of cult film The Birdcage as part of the Queer Vision Film Festival.
On Pride Day itself, celebrations at The Downs will feature multiple stages, including the Circus Tent, Dance Stage and dedicated Family, Youth and Community areas, alongside a Sensory Calm Space. The day begins with the Pride Parade through the city centre before continuing with live performances across the site.
Daryn Carter MBE, Director of Bristol Pride, said the addition of Trinity the Tuck strengthened an already diverse programme. “This year’s line-up brings together international stars, drag icons and community-led events across the city,” Carter said. “Bristol Pride continues to be a space for celebration, visibility and joy.”
Tickets start from £18.50, with concessions available to keep the festival accessible. Full programme details and tickets are available HERE
