Superbia Festival by Manchester Pride presents an all-day celebration of local LGBTQ+ talent – featuring live music, panel discussions, workshops and more at Aviva Studios.
This is a celebration held on 23rd August as part of an exciting programme of Manchester Pride events, supported by Factory International.
Superbia Festival is space dedicated to amplifying the voices and talents of local LGBTQ+ artists, with a focus on creative development, and providing a platform for artists to enhance their craft, gain vital skills and knowledge, and to create a sense of community among Manchester’s LGBTQ+ creatives, all hosted by creative powerhouse Maz Hedgehog.
Enjoy fantastic performances from drag king cabaret group Canal Street Kings,
Dance your socks off to a set from hyperpop artist Kaotiiii, and get your groove on with pop, funk and soul vocalist King Navassa.
That’s not all; bringing the celestial vibes is our favourite bisexual icon, spoken word poet and performance artist, Chanje Kunda.
