Leeds Pride, one of the city’s most exciting weekends of the year, have announced the first wave of acts performing at the event this summer.
Taking place on Sunday 20 July 2025, chart-topping band Liberty X will be headlining the main stage performing their biggest hits.
Joining them will be The Cartoons and live from the West end, Queenz the show as well as popular dance music artists, Kelly Lorena and Booty Luv.
The details were announced this week at the official Leeds Pride pre-festival campaign launch at Harvey Nichols on Wednesday evening attended by Lord Mayor, Councillor Abigail Marshall Katung, Emmerdale stars Ash Palmisciano and Natalie Ann Jamieson.
Leeds Pride is sure to be another huge celebration, after smashing records in 2024 with over 80,000 visitors – its biggest attendance to date with over 160 parade entries and support from 238 businesses.
Now in its 19 th year, Leeds Pride is one of the largest free one-day festivals in Yorkshire and is run by a dedicated team who work tirelessly to ensure the event remains completely free for all who wish to attend.
The 2025 festival will be no different, with a full calendar of events including fringe celebrations with two stages of artist performances on Millennium Square and Lower Briggate, a huge parade ad of course the Viaduct Street party.
Leeds Pride spokesperson Terry George 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.”
