Birmingham Pride 2021 Line up: see what time each act is playing on Saturday and Sunday

One of the most important LGBTQ+ festivals in the UK gets underway this weekend as Birmingham Pride returns to our city for the first time since 2019.

Pride officially gets underway on Saturday with the free to attend parade, which will begin through the city centre at 12pm, with marchers making their way to the gay village in and around Hurst Street where the festival activities will begin.

This year organisers have introduced Smithfield Live – located on the site of the former Birmingham Wholesale Markets just off Pershore Street – to be the home to the festival’s main stage, dance arena, and cabaret stage.

This year’s festival line-up features some exciting acts, including former Girls Aloud singer Cheryl who will be performing on the main stage on Saturday, along with Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Boney M, Ms Banks, Baga Chipz, and Andrea Di Giovanni.

Sunday’s main stage acts include Sister Sledge, Clean Bandit, Jax Jones, Raye, Tom Aspaul and Foxgluvv.
