Manchester Pride has dropped its final headliner for 2025, and it's a biggun'. Pop queen and 2000s icon Nelly Furtado is officially joining the party, taking over the main stage across the August Bank Holiday weekend. She'll be serving nostalgia and bangers right in the heart of the Gay Village.

She joins an already stellar lineup, with fellow headliners Olly Alexander, Leigh-Anne, and Billy Porter all set to take to the stage. Add in the likes of Tulisa, Big Freedia, Tayce, Sonique, Louis Johnson, and drag royalty Jodie Harsh, plus Danny Beard bringing their award-winning cabaret magic, and you've got one of the most exciting Pride rosters the city has ever seen. And that's before Sunday's Mardi Gras slot, when Manc legend DJ Paulette will make sure the dance floor doesn't stop grooving.

Manchester Pride takes place from Friday, 22 August to Monday, 25 August 2025. Tickets can be purchased here.
