Joining Rowland on the main stage on Sunday will be RuPaul’s Drag Race star and recent Attitude Award winner Peppermint, as well ’90s Eurodance icons The Vengaboys.
This year’s Birmingham Pride will see the weekend’s entertainment events – including the Main Stage, Cabaret Stage, Dance Arena and funfair, all relocated to a new site in Smithfield, the former home of Birmingham Wholesale Market.
The new site is next to the city’s gay village, which will continue to host the Birmingham Pride Street Party and Future Stage.
Birmingham Pride festival director Lawrence Barton, said: “While the gay village will remain at the heart of the event as an integral part of the celebrations, the new festival site on the former Birmingham Wholesale Market gives us the opportunity to make Birmingham Pride 2020 the biggest and best yet.”
