Kelham Pride, Sheffield’s biggest LGBTQ+ event, has officially unveiled the artists set to perform on its main stage, with drag superstar and television favourite Danny Beard confirmed as this year’s headliner.

Returning to Kelham Island on Saturday 20 June for another unforgettable celebration of LGBTQ+ pride, community, music, and culture, Kelham Pride 2026 promises its biggest and boldest event to date. 

Known for their powerhouse vocals and electric stage presence, Danny Beard will headline the main stage in what organisers are calling a landmark moment for the festival.

Joining Danny Beard on the Kelham Pride main stage will be a packed lineup of live music, drag performances, and local talent: Marigold Addams as Jane McDonald, Ghetto Fabulous, Generkia, Crowd Karaoke, Cole Mynes, Sphynx, Dolls Nest, Hot Pot, Victoria Scone & Louis Cysfer, Tysie J Blaque, Neapolitan Von Schweets, Cilla Bang, Bin Bag, King Confuza, Deeva D, Leona Nørskov Jørgensen and Mappin Street Collective. 

Kelham Pride has rapidly become one of Sheffield’s standout community festivals, bringing together independent businesses, artists, performers, and visitors from across the region to celebrate LGBTQ+ culture in one of the city’s most vibrant districts.

As well as the main stage on Burton Road, Kelham Pride will feature a pride parade, entertainment and acts at partner venues: Alder, Grafters, Happy’s, Kelham Wine Bar, Neepsend Social Club, Peddler and Yellow Arch, as well as plenty of fringe venues getting in on the action. 

There will also be a children and family area courtesy of IKEA, food and drink venues at the Peddler food village, live DJs at the Energy Zone powered by Red Bull, and stalls selling treats and eats.

Bipolar Abdul, co-host of Kelham Pride, said: “We are thrilled to share our stellar line-up for Kelham Pride 2026. Back for a third year, not only have we brought out the big guns with superstar Danny Beard, but we have a whole host of incredible, diverse local talent that will keep us dancing and entertained all day and night.

“Kelham Pride is an inclusive safe space for the community and our allies, and we want you to know that this is a place you can come, feel safe and be free to be yourself. See you on the day!”
