PRIDE ROCK FESTIVAL 2024
BRIGHTON
AUGUST 3
Following the successful launch of last year’s show, organiser White Lightning PR is proud to announce the return of Brighton & Hove Pride’s first Pride Rock Festival.
Pride Rock Festival originated from a desire to represent musical diversity at Brighton Pride, and showcase Rock/alt talents to support the LGBTQ+ community. This is the second consecutive year of the rock event to run alongside Brighton & Hove Pride’s Weekend. Headlining the event is SNAYX with support The Virginmarys, Stone Angels, HAWXX, Queen Cult, Izzy T, Monakis & MuddiBrooke.
Hosting the event is Kerrang/Gaydio DJ Paris Munro, "I'm buzzing to be part of this. Putting LGBTQ+ artists and bands in the spotlight is super important and people in the alt scene need to be seen and heard. Pride is only focused around pop and dance music, but people in the LGBTQ+ community don't just listen to that, there's a wide variety of genres and it's great to have rock and metal at the forefront! So excited to host on the day!"
