The biggest event in the British LGBTQ calendar is upon us, as this weekend will see hundreds of thousands descend on Brighton for the city’s annual Pride event. 

Widely regarded as one of the biggest and best queer celebrations in the country, this year bosses faced the unenviable task of trying to top the 2018 event, which saw Britney actual Spears headline. 

However, they have pulled out all the stops to secure one of the biggest gay icons ever – Ms Kylie Minogue

La Minogue takes to the stage in Preston Park on Saturday night in what promises to be a pure pop extravaganza – and if you’re anything like us, there’s some serious stages of emotion we’ll all go through in the lead up to and during the event...
