The Pride team will also be joined by Gok Wan who will be performing a DJ set and Livin Joy who are best known for fantastic 90s dance classics.
Another surprise act will be announced, later in the year! The only hint that the Pride team are giving, is that it is a winner of Eurovision.
Yve from Isle of Wight Pride, said: “We are overwhelmed that over 4 thousand people have registered to come to Pride already and we haven’t even announced who would be coming to perform yet. Pride is much more than the acts on stage, but we also want to create a special day of celebration that everybody will enjoy and everybody can relate to. This years Pride event will have various areas that will cater to all tastes, including a cabaret tent, our popular Tea Tent, a disco area, a large Children’s area as well as the main stage on the beach. It will definitely build on the family friendly, inclusive atmosphere from 2017.
“We are delighted that influential speakers such as Peter Tatchell, Caroline Paige, Jacqui Gavin, representatives from Stonewall and AllOut will be joining us as well as many Unions and public sector organisations such as the Tri-Services, Police and Fire Brigade, to march and take part in the Pride event.”
Matt Bundy from Isle of Wight Pride, added: “Pride is delighted with the diverse line up that we have organised for this year. This was really important to make sure that there is something to cater to everybody’s tastes whilst also being fully reflective of all sectors of society. We are keeping our big headline act under wraps until June. With so many tickets already gone, we want to ensure that everybody has the opportunity to register to come to our gorgeous beach pride.”
