The Sugababes will join Mariah Carey in headlining this year’s Brighton Pride festival, organisers have confirmed.
The British girl group have been announced as the second headline act for 2025 and will take to the stage on Sunday, 3 August.
The announcement comes after American singer Carey was revealed as the first headliner for the festival last week, nearly five years after her planned appearance in 2020 was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Pride on the Park, this year’s version of the annual Brighton festival, will take place in Preston Park on 2 and 3 August.
A spokesperson for Brighton and Hove Pride said they were “over the moon” to have the Sugababes joining this year’s lineup.
The Push the Button and About You Now singers have scored six number one singles in the UK since their first album in 2000 – the second most of any British girl group behind the Spice Girls.
The group has gone through a number of looks but currently performs with its original lineup of Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan and Siobhan Donaghy after reforming in 2011.
Previous headliners for the festival include Girls Aloud and Mika in 2024 and the Black Eyed Peas and Steps in 2023.
About 300,000 people attended the Brighton Pride parade in 2024, organisers previously said.
Pre-sale tickets for Pride on the Park 2025 will go on sale on Thursday.
