Internationally celebrated star to play ‘Afternoon Legends’ slot at Bristol Pride 2023

Posted on: 28 Apr 2023

Bristol Pride 2023 is shaping up to be a big one with Australian mega star Natalie Imbruglia spearheading an impressive line-up of brilliant artists from all over the globe.

 

The Bristol Pride Festival 2023 runs from Saturday 24 June to Sunday 9 July with Pride Day taking place at The Downs on Saturday 8 July.

 

In addition to Natalie Imbruglia, Pride Day will see Girls Aloud icon Nadine Coyle, Scissor Sisters star Jake Shears, soulful singer-songwriter Alison Limerick, much-loved Sheffield outfit Sophie and The Giants and a whole lot more perform on the festival’s main stage.

 

The minimum entrance to the festival is a £4 donation at the gate but attendees can support Pride in advance by purchasing a wristband from the Bristol Pride website.

 

 

Natalie Imbruglia will be performing for the festival’s new ‘Afternoon Legends’ slot. Australia’s best-loved pop star, Natalie achieved this ‘legend’ label thanks to her chart-topping smash hit ‘Torn’ – Australia’s most played song since 1990!

 

Another colossal artist who has been announced for Bristol Pride is one-fifth of multi-award-winning pop trailblazers Girls Aloud, Nadine Coyle. Racking up an incredible 21 UK top 10 singles with the group, Nadine is a certified pop sensation and she’ll be at The Downs in July.

 

With millions of global album sales, Brits, Ivor Novellos, Grammy award nominations and arena tours, Jake Shears is another Bristol Pride headliner. Just last year, Scissor Sisters’ debut album was named the UK’s twelfth biggest-selling debut LP of all time. Shears is sure to pull a crowd thanks to his dancefloor-ready tunes and undeniable flair.

 

Completing this exciting main stage lineup is R&B/soul favourite Alison Limerick, left-leaning pop band Sophie and The Giants, multi-award-winning singer-songwriter Ladyhawke, 5Star lead vocalist Denise Pearson, hit-centric dance group Rhythm Of The 90s, The Dolly Parton Experience, West London sensation Newtion and local LGBTQ+ organisation Sing Out Bristol.

With plenty more to be announced in the coming weeks, Bristol Pride 2023 looks set to be bigger and better than ever. The festival runs from Saturday 24 June to Sunday 9 July with Pride Day taking place at The Downs on Saturday 8 July 2023.

 

All attendees will be charged a £4 donation at the festival gate but if you want Pride in advance (and gain a whole host of perks) then purchase a wristband from the Bristol Pride website.
