Pop star Nelly Furtado co-headlines Manchester Pride 2025

Today Manchester Pride has announced three new artists who will be joining the line-up for Manchester Pride 2025, including Nelly Furtado, DJ Paulette, and Moonchild Sanelly.

Taking place from Friday, 22nd to Monday, 25th August, Manchester Pride 2025 promises four days of spectacular celebrations, and the full line-up has now been revealed.

Among them is global pop superstar Nelly Furtado, who will co-headline Sunday’s Mardi Gras alongside Olly Alexander for an unforgettable night of chart-topping hits and joy.

Known for genre-defying anthems like “Maneater,” “Promiscuous,” and “Say It Right,” Nelly is set to make Manchester Pride ignite with her powerhouse vocals and infectious energy, ensuring Sunday’s celebrations hit the highest of highs.

Adding even more sparkle to the lineup, Manchester Pride also welcomes DJ Paulette to the Sunday Mardi Gras roster. A homegrown legend who knows exactly how to turn the tables and keep the dancefloor pumping with pure Pride energy.

Moonchild Sanelly has also been added to the Friday lineup at the Gay Village Party, bringing a huge dose of attitude and charisma. The incomparable South African trailblazer, famed for her bold style and unapologetic sound, will unleash her signature “future ghetto punk” to kick off the weekend in fierce fashion.

Mark Fletcher, CEO of Manchester Pride, said: “Welcoming an icon like Nelly Furtado alongside DJ Paulette and Moonchild Sanelly further showcases the diversity of musical tastes that we’re catering for. They’re each sure to create some unforgettable moments.

“Manchester Pride 2025 will be bold, brilliant, and bursting with Pride energy, but it’s at a tipping point. Pride can only thrive if our community shows up: by attending events, joining the Parade, and buying supporter bands.

We’ve seen what happens when we don’t rally together, and we cannot let that happen in our city. This is the moment to stand up, come together, party as a protest, and ensure Pride continues to shine long into the future.”
