RuPaul’s Drag Race UK star Kate Butch has been announced as a headline act for Stirling’s first Pride this September.
The event was made reality by organisers Creative Stirling after nearly 90% of survey respondents backed a Pride event in the Forth Valley area.
Stirling Pride has already been underway with fundraising activities for the main event on September 21, 2024.
From 11am until 5pm on September 21, King Street is welcoming an array of musicians and performers for the celebrations.
Star of Drag Race season 5 Kate Butch will entertain King Street from 4pm until 4.20pm. Performing drag in London since 2018, Kate Butch has since taken the stages of the West End and the Edinburgh Fringe.
Headlining alongside Kate Butch at the King Steet stage is Glasgow-based DJ Rebecca Vasmant, who will close the event from 4.30pm until 5pm.
Fubar will also host Pride live music events in-house, including the Stirling Youth Folk Club an array of Scottish musicians.
Sam Reid, chair of Stirling Pride, said “We are very excited to announce both our incredible headliners, Rebecca Vasmant and Kate Butch, who will bring fantastic live performances to King Street in the city centre.
“We have also been overwhelmed by the enthusiasm for Stirling Pride which has resulted in organisations, businesses and charities all over the Stirling area becoming involved in our extensive programme of events. We really can’t wait to bring this event to the city.”
As well as star personalities there is a programme of over 50 events running from September 14-22 throughout the city.
The full programme can be found on the Stirling Pride 2024 website and social media.
