Sugababes Set to Headline Brighton Pride 2025
The legendary girl group Sugababes has been officially announced as the second headline act for Brighton Pride 2025, much to the excitement of fans and festival-goers alike.
Brighton Pride’s annual festival, Pride on the Park, promises an unforgettable weekend this year. Scheduled for August, the event will feature the iconic Mariah Carey, a long-time LGBTQ+ ally and the voice behind hits like "Fantasy," as the Saturday night headliner on August 2. Following suit, the Sugababes, known for their chart-topping singles such as "Push The Button," will take center stage on Sunday, August 3.
With a career spanning over two decades, the Sugababes—Keisha Buchanan, Mutya Buena, and Siobhan Donaghy—have established themselves as staples in the pop music scene. The group originally captured the public’s attention with their debut single "Overload," a top-ten hit in 2000, and have continued to release memorable tracks like "Round Round" and "About You Now."
The original lineup of the Sugababes reunited in 2021, coinciding with the 20th anniversary re-release of their debut album One Touch. This comeback was met with enthusiasm, as evidenced by their celebrated performance at Glastonbury Festival in 2022. Their resurgence led to a sold-out UK tour, a headline show at the London O2 Arena, and the release of new music, including their album The Lost Tapes in 2022.
Mariah Carey’s anticipated appearance at Brighton Pride has been a long time coming. Originally slated to headline the festival in 2020, her performance was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, five years later, she’ll finally grace the stage, delivering a show that was worth the wait.
Paul Kemp, Managing Director of Brighton & Hove Pride, expressed his enthusiasm about the Sugababes joining the festival lineup: "We are thrilled to welcome the Sugababes to Brighton & Hove Pride. Their music is timeless, and their energy is infectious. It’s a fantastic way to wrap up the weekend’s celebrations."
Brighton Pride has a history of hosting some of the biggest names in pop music, with past performers including legends like Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Kylie Minogue, and Girls Aloud. The addition of Mariah Carey and the Sugababes to the 2025 bill continues this tradition of excellence.
Tickets for Brighton Pride 2025 are expected to sell out quickly. Pre-sale tickets will be available from Thursday, February 20 at 10am GMT. Attendees are encouraged to secure their spots early for what promises to be a sold-out event.
For many, Brighton Pride is more than just a music festival; it’s a vibrant celebration of love, diversity, and community. It’s a safe space where individuals from all walks of life come together to celebrate who they are. The festival not only highlights incredible musical talent but also serves as a platform for raising awareness and supporting LGBTQ+ rights.
Attendees can expect a weekend filled with music, dance, and festivities, all set against the backdrop of Brighton’s vibrant cultural scene. With an impressive lineup headlined by Mariah Carey and Sugababes, this year’s Pride promises to be one of the most memorable yet.
As anticipation builds for the upcoming festival, fans and community members are encouraged to engage and share their excitement. Brighton Pride offers various opportunities for interaction, from social media engagements to community forums.
In the spirit of inclusivity and respect, Brighton Pride invites everyone to join the celebration and contribute to the uplifting atmosphere. This year’s festival is not just a gathering; it’s a testament to the strength and resilience of the LGBTQ+ community and its allies.
