Headline act for Brighton & Hove Pride 30th anniversary

Pop icon Christina Aguilera has been announced as the headline act for the 30th anniversary Brighton & Hove Pride celebrations on Saturday 6th August.

After receiving the Music Icon Award at 2021 People’s Choice Awards, the award-winning singer will perform a Pride exclusive show at Brighton & Hove Pride.

Paul Kemp, Director of Brighton Pride said,  “As we celebrate our 30th anniversary, we are really thrilled to have secured an iconic star and LGBTQ+ ally such as Christina Aguilera to perform at the Preston Park Pride festival, our main fundraiser for the Brighton Rainbow Fund. It’s going to be ‘Beautiful’.”

Christina Aguilera as an LGBTQ+ ally

Christina is an ally of the LGBTQ+ community, she has helped raise funds in the fight against HIV/AIDS, advocated for marriage equality and spoken out against anti-LGBTQ+ bullying. She uses her global superstar platform to share a message of hope and inspiration to those who have been marginalized because of who they are.

In 2019 Christina Aguilera was the recipient of the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Ally for Equality Award and in a 2017 love letter to the LGBTQ community.

Aguilera said, “The LGBTQ community has never had it easy, the struggles each one of you faces daily on an individual level and on a broader political and cultural level are unimaginable, yet you keep fighting, you keep moving forward trailblazing and beating all odds with love always in your hearts.”
