Chaka Khan to headline Pride in London alongside host Frankie Grande: Full lineup, parade route and more

The 10-time Grammy award winner Chaka Khan is set to headline Pride in London 2025, and there certainly ‘Ain’t Nobody’ more iconic!

Announced today (27 June), just one week before the big event on 5 July, Chaka will take to the Trafalgar Square main stage, to deliver hit after hit, from ‘I’m Every Woman’ to ‘I Feel for You’.

Joining the headliner are Eurovision 2025 winner JJ and their friend (and former competitor) Miriana Conte — who will no doubt be ‘Serving Kant’ — along with RuPaul’s Drag Race UK season 6 finalist La Voix, and special guest hosts including Frankie Grande and Titanique star Lauren Drew.

Frankie Grande released his debut album Hotel Rock Bottom today, so it is safe to say he will be bringing the ‘Rhythm of Love’ to Trafalgar Square this year.

This year’s Pride marks 53 years of queer celebration in the capital, and with over 33,000 expected to march in the parade and six stages spread across central London, Pride 2025 has got something for everyone.
