It’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for!

This year, The Village Stage at the Gay VIllage Party is set to be graced by none other than multi-platinum pop royalty, Jessie J (AAAAH). She’s phenomenally talented, wields seismic vocals, and has a whopping 1.5 billion streams, 23 million record sales and a huge catalogue of chart-topping bops to her name. Not only is Jessie J an international icon, she’s also pure camp chaos and honestly, we’re obsessed.

Brace yourselves as we rank some of Jessie J’s most chaotic performances… you’re in for a wild ride, besties.

8. Singing with her mouth closed on the Graham Norton show

Pretty sure Jessie J wins the award for ‘best party trick’. Don’t ask how long we’ve spent trying to do this ourselves in the office, because the answer is way too long.

7. Performing to a crowd of oblivious tourists in Times Square

This is the level of chaos I aspire to embody. Imagine being so unbothered you could belt a song dressed as the Statue of Liberty in Times Square? Unreal.

6. Serenading her 48 hour old newborn baby in a car park

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, but make it *extra*. This is actually very sweet and we’re so supportive of serenading your child with a Jessie J-esque nursery rhyme.

5. Mid flight on a Boeing 747

How on earth does this come about? How does she have a working PA system and spotlights on a plane?! I have so many questions!!

4. Belting Whitney Houston on a Chinese reality TV talent show, 10 years into her career

It’s safe to say the audience were gagged with Jessie J’s outstanding performance of Whitney Houston’s ‘I Have Nothing’ in 2018... I will 100% cry if I see this live.

3. Boop Boop de boop boop break it down (a classic)

We couldn’t not mention this one. Jessie really let her intrusive thoughts win here and I cannot get enough. Boop boop de boop boop break it down is now a regular part of the Manchester Pride team’s vocabulary and honestly, can you blame us?

2. Dressed as a gorilla in Trafalgar Square (???)

I'm not even sure how to caption this but I'm thoroughly obsessed with Jessie's confidence. This is pure unbridled chaos, and seeing her perform in our little car park on the Village Stage may well make it to next year’s list of Jessie J’s most chaotic performances ranked. Are you ready? I'm ready.

1. On a rollercoaster in Las Vegas

Singing with your mouth closed is one thing, but singing whilst plummeting from an alarming height on a rollercoaster? Magnificent.

Forever obsessed with Jessie J performing on a rollercoaster in Las Vegas, nothing will stop that woman from singing ???? https://t.co/4mgPr5r9mq

When does Manchester Pride Festival take place?

The Manchester Pride Festival 2024 takes place from 23th - 26th August.

How much money from every Manchester Pride Festival ticket goes towards the Community Fund?

£2.50 from every pledge band purchased goes directly to the Manchester Pride Community Fund to help LGBTQ+ good causes in Greater Manchester.

Do I have to pay to enter the Gay Village over Manchester Pride Festival?

Manchester Pride Festival offers a packed programme of events over the August Bank Holiday weekend, such as the Manchester Pride Parade, Youth Pride MCR, Family Pride MCR, Superbia and more. All of these are free with the exception of the Gay Village Party which is ticketed.

Manchester Pride is a charity and the cost of a Gay Village Party ticket helps us to deliver a safe, community party-as-protest celebration for the whole community to enjoy, as well as funding our free programme of events over the weekend. Vitally, though, your ticket helps us to platform and support the careers of queer artists and performers, and we have another stellar line-up for 2024 that we know you'll love!

You can see how every penny of your ticket is spent here, and remember that every ticket includes a £2.50 ring-fenced donation to the Manchester Pride Community Fund - an initiative that supports and enriches grassroots LGBTQ+ organisations and projects in Greater Manchester. Find out more about some of the incredible projects that you helped us fund in 2023.

Please note that some Village venues will be operating a No Pledge Band No Entry policy, so purchasing a ticket allows you to experience everything the Gay Village has to offer over the weekend.

How can I apply to take part in the Parade?
