Bristol Pride announces Main Stage headliner
Making her debut performance in Bristol, Allie X will headline Bristol Pride this year, forming a major highlight of this year’s events.
Bristol Pride’s festival day is on July 12 on the Downs in Clifton. This will follow a vibrant Pride Parade, where thousands of people march on the streets, raising LGBTQ+ visibility.
Bristol Pride have said that over the past decade Allie X has cemented herself as one of pop music’s most insightful and trendsetting artists.
She has over one billion streams online, and is known for her high-concept live shows, synth-pop and rebellious spirit.

Joining Allie X in the Bristol Pride lineup is 80s icon Kim Wilde as well as Ultra Naté and Cascada. The Pride festival’s Cabaret stage will be headlined by RuPaul’s Drag Race alum and Drag Race Canada host Brooke Lynn Hytes.
Over 200 performers will be featured across five different stages during Bristol Pride. There will also be multiple food and merchandise vendors.

Event wristbands are currently available, which Bristol Pride say will offer an enhanced experience, while directly supporting the LGBTQ+ community.
The wristbands include fast-track entry to the Pride Day festival, free bus travel to the Downs, discounts on food and access to exclusive prize draws.
All proceeds from the wristbands go to Bristol Pride’s Pride Community Fund, supporting LGBTQ+ services, events and advocacy throughout the year.
Daryn Carter, director of Bristol Pride, said: “Allie X is a phenomenal addition to this year’s lineup. Her music resonates deeply with the LGBTQ+ community, not just for its sound, but for its message of self-expression and defiance.
“Her live shows are electric, and her debut in Bristol is something we’ve been waiting for.”
Bristol Pride Day is on July 12. More information and updates can be found through following their Instagram. Wristbands can be purchased via their website: https://bristolpride.co.uk/wristbands/
