Events and performers confirmed for Milton Keynes Pride Festival

The organisers for the Milton Keynes Pride Festival later this month have confirmed a series of performers and other events who will be part of the festivities.

MK Pride returns to Campbell Park on Saturday 12 September, with a series of free events from 12pm to 10:30pm and which is set to bring thousands of people together for a free day and evening of music, entertainment, community and celebration.

Now in its seventh year, MK Pride has become a major local event that welcomes people from across the city and beyond.

This year’s festival runs from 12pm to 10:30pm and is split into two separate parts. Pride by Day from 12pm to 5:30pm offering family-friendly programming, before the festival moves into Pride by Night from 5:30pm to 10:30pm, which is strictly 18+.

Performances that form part of the full 2026 programme include a headline spot for pop star Tulisa, alongside Janice Robinson, The Cheeky Girls, Tom Aspaul, Rileasa, Nate Ethan, Don One, Brenda LaBeau, Cherry West, Billy & Louie, Cheryl, Benji James, Danni Hunt as Sabrina Carpenter and Sum Ting Wong.

Lawrence Chaney will host Pride by Night, while Charlotte Dawson hosts Pride by Day. Visitors can also enjoy the Community Stage, Rainbow Market, Food Village, Bars, Kids Space, Sensory Space, Funfair and Drag Mix Bingo, alongside further entertainment and activities throughout Campbell Park.

With its combination of live entertainment, community programming, food, shopping and activities, MK Pride offers an opportunity for visitors to make a day of their trip to Milton Keynes and experience more of what the city has to offer.

Festival Director Keith Emmett III said, “Milton Keynes Pride is about bringing people together, and we’re incredibly proud that the festival has become such an important part of the city’s cultural calendar.

“Whether you’re coming from Milton Keynes or travelling into the city for the day, Pride is a great opportunity to experience the festival and discover more of what Milton Keynes has to offer.

“We’re looking forward to welcoming thousands of people to Campbell Park on 12 September and seeing the city come together for another fantastic Pride.”
