Pride in London 2026 is a time to come together. Now, it has unveiled its music line-up. Taking place in Trafalgar Square on Saturday 4 July 2026, the event will feature headliners MNEK, Beth Ditto of Gossip, and rising talent Meek. Best of all, the event is free to attend.
Pride in London 2026 celebrates the theme Many Voices, One Front, and it is a call for unity. The campaign shines a spotlight on four issues: trans healthcare rights, Black and Brown queer visibility, chosen family rights, and the fight against hate crimes. The aim is to bring together a mix of performers, speakers and voices across six stages. Each act will showcase a unique and inspiring part of London’s LGBTQ+ community.
Beth Ditto is the powerhouse American singer best known as the frontwoman of Gossip. She rose to fame in the mid-2000s with her bold vocals, fearless stage presence, and the band’s dance-punk anthem “Standing In The Way Of Control”. Gossip went on to achieve wider success with tracks including “Heavy Cross”, “Move In The Right Direction” and “Perfect World”. Ditto also built a solo career, releasing music and becoming a fashion and LGBTQ+ icon. More recently, she reunited with Gossip for Real Power, the band’s first album in 14 years, marking a major comeback for one of indie-pop’s most distinctive voices.
MNEK, real name Uzoechi Emenike, is a British singer, songwriter and producer who rose to fame as one of pop’s most in-demand hitmakers. After early work behind the scenes, he broke through with Zara Larsson on “Never Forget You”, before reaching wider chart success on Joel Corry’s “Head & Heart”. His standout tracks include “Where Did You Go?” with Jax Jones, “Radio” with Sigala and “Valentino” with Years & Years. MNEK has also written and produced for major names including Beyoncé, Little Mix and RAYE.
This marks 54 years since the very first march in 1972. The parade will set off from Hyde Park Corner at midday, travelling along Piccadilly and Haymarket before finishing at Whitehall. The march is expected to include 1.8 million people.
Pride in London Interim CEO, Rebecca Paisis, explained: “This year’s campaign is a reminder that whilst the community often faces challenges in isolation, it is by coming together that we can change history.”
Stonewall Co-founder and LGBTQ+ activist, Lisa Power MBE, added: “Right now, we have a government and institutions meant to defend our rights that are attacking trans people’s rights, and the rest of ours will follow. So now’s the time to join hands and bring an ally, or someone you’re an ally to, along to Pride. Together, we can be stronger.”
