The final headliners for this year’s Manchester Pride festival have been revealed for 2023. Iconic electro artist Alison Goldfrapp will be joining the bill, along with dancer, drag performer and DJ Raven Mandella and Eurovision legend Conchita Wurst.
Goldfrapp has been riding high on the success of her first solo album, The Love Intervention, which was released last month, produced by Richard X. It will also follow a stellar performance at the Manchester International Festival last month.
She will perform on the Saturday night, alongside artists including Black Peppa, Jodie Harsh and international drag icon Pabllo Vittar. Mandella, who has worked as a drag performer with the likes of Honey Dijon, Groove Armada, Kelly Rowland, and Nile Rogers, will headline Black Pride MCR on the MancUnity Stage, also on Saturday.
