Pride concert will 'pull out the stops'

A free concert to celebrate Pride in Sunderland will bring together a whole host of top entertainment, organisers say.

It is the culmination of a the month-long festival in June, which includes film screenings, a family picnic, and a tennis tournament.

Following the Pride march on Saturday 28 June, the free event in Keel Square is sponsored by Sunderland AFC and the Foundation of Light.

Organisers Out North East said their support would allow the concert to "pull out all the stops".

The concert will be hosted by Elijah Young, best known for playing Stuart on the hit TV show, Smoggie Queens, and the line up includes '90s icon Tina Cousins, London LGBTQ+ dance company Homoparody and showcase entertainers The Future Is Queer.
