Main Stage Magic: The Stars of MK Pride 2025
If you thought last year’s Milton Keynes Pride Festival was big, just wait until you see what’s planned for 2025. With Santander as Headline Sponsor and Volkswagen UK supporting the Main Stage, the festival is raising the bar with its most glittering, high-energy line-up yet. We’re talking pop icons, drag royalty, boundary-breaking talent and more sequins than you can shake a feather boa at.
The stage is set. The park is ready. Here’s your all-singing, all-dancing guide to the stars lighting up Campbell Park this September.
Nadine Coyle – Headliner
When it comes to pop royalty, Nadine Coyle is right up there with the best of them. As one-fifth of Girls Aloud, she helped define the sound of the 00s — unleashing instant classics like Sound of the Underground, Love Machine and Something Kinda Ooooh that still pack out dancefloors today. Since then, she’s carved her own solo career, proving her powerhouse vocals can carry just as much weight outside the girl group spotlight.
But Nadine’s story with Pride goes deeper than the music. She’s a proud ally who’s always stood shoulder to shoulder with the LGBTQ+ community, and her presence on the MK Pride stage feels both celebratory and symbolic. Expect a setlist stacked with nostalgic hits, solo gems, and that unmistakable voice soaring across Campbell Park. In short: the headliner we’ve all been waiting for.
Booty Luv
Think back to the golden age of the 00s club scene — sticky dancefloors, neon lights, friends yelling “this is my song!” as soon as Boogie 2nite kicks in. That’s Booty Luv. With tracks like Some Kinda Rush and Shine, they bottled the sound of pure euphoria and delivered it straight to the charts.
Fast-forward to 2025, and their energy hasn’t dimmed one bit. Booty Luv are the kind of act that turn a field into a nightclub, commanding the stage with the same spark that made them household names. When those opening beats drop in Campbell Park, expect thousands of hands in the air and a chorus of voices singing along like it’s 2007 all over again.
Seann Miley Moore
Seann Miley Moore isn’t just a performer. He’s an experience. With vocals that can shake the roof off any venue and a stage presence dripping in unapologetic authenticity, Seann embodies everything Pride is about — freedom, joy, and the courage to live boldly.
The London-based singer, born in Indonesia and raised in Australia, first made headlines with his unforgettable performances on The X Factor. Since then, he’s become a global symbol of queer Asian excellence, using both fashion and music to blur boundaries and break barriers. Expect a show that’s fierce, fearless, and utterly unforgettable.
Mary Mac
There are drag queens — and then there’s Mary Mac. Scotland’s cabaret tornado has been commanding Pride stages across the UK for years, and her return to Milton Keynes is nothing short of a homecoming.
Mary doesn’t just perform, she takes over. With rapid-fire banter, high kicks that would make a gymnast jealous, and a knack for getting every single person on their feet, she’s part comedian, part cabaret star, part cheerleader for joy. If you’ve seen her before, you’ll know what’s coming. If you haven’t? Buckle up.
Sam and the Womp
You’ve probably shouted Bom Bom at least once in your life — but have you ever experienced Sam and the Womp live? This six-piece band are more than a one-hit wonder. They’re a carnival rolled into a gig, fusing brass, beats, ska and dub into something wild, colourful, and impossible not to dance to.
Fronted by trumpeter Sam Ritchie and vocalist Bloom de Wilde, their performances are chaotic in the best possible way — a joyful explosion of sound that’ll have Campbell Park bouncing. It’s music that doesn’t just make you move, it makes you grin.
Baga Chipz
If you know, you know. And if you don’t — well, you’re about to. Drag Race UK favourite Baga Chipz is back at MK Pride, and she’s not here to play. Known as “the queen of the boozers”, Baga mixes unfiltered glamour with razor-sharp wit and just the right amount of filth.
She’s outrageous, she’s hilarious, and she’s absolutely adored by fans across the country. Expect laughs, singalongs, and a whole lot of Baga-brand fabulousness.
Your Hosts: Ella Morgan & Austin Armacost
A line-up this big needs hosts who can keep up with the chaos — and MK Pride has found the perfect pairing. Ella Morgan first made history as the UK’s first openly transgender bride on reality TV (Married at First Sight UK) and has since become a style icon and advocate for visibility. Beside her is Austin Armacost, the American model and activist best known for his star turns on Celebrity Big Brother and A-List: New York.
Together, they bring charisma, camp, and more costume changes than you can count. Trust us — they’ll keep the main stage buzzing from the first act to the last.
And that’s not all…
The Main Stage is stacked from start to finish. Rising star Lordin brings fresh R&B-pop energy, while Brenda LaBeau delivers powerhouse vocals with a side of Scouse wit. For the Gaga fans, Donna Marie is the UK’s top Lady Gaga tribute — all glitter, drama, and note-perfect performances. Adam All & Apple Derrieres shake things up with their drag king-meets-diva double act, while Freddie Lewis offers raw, intimate storytelling through music and poetry. Local favourites Cheryl Hadley (channelling Kylie) and Dale Ali round out the line-up with sparkle, soul, and heart.
Why this year matters
MK Pride isn’t just about the music (though, let’s be honest, the music is phenomenal). It’s about visibility, community, and creating a space where everyone feels proud, safe, and celebrated. With more sponsors than ever before, and a programme designed to welcome all ages and backgrounds, 2025 is set to be the festival’s most visible, inclusive, and unforgettable year yet.
So grab your glitter, gather your friends, and get ready to dance, sing, and celebrate under the rainbow at Campbell Park. This is MK Pride — and you’re invited.
