Steps fan-favourite member to headline Northern Pride in Newcastle

The North East’s biggest LGBTQ+ event, Northern Pride will take place at Newcastle’s Town Moor next month.

The event will be made up of a march for Newcastle’s Civic Centre and The Pride Festival which will include live performances, food and drink vendors, children’s fairground rides and more.

Northern Pride announced the first of their confirmed line up last month, with Ministry of Sound’s Smokin Jo, who alongside other top DJs will provide the audience with a special set named Ministry of Sound Does Pride.

Now, the event which celebrates the LGBTQ+ community has announced another wave of confirmed artists that will take to the stage.

One of those artists is a member of the pop group, Steps, Lisa Scott-Lee. The 47-year-old Welsh singer will take to the stage alone, and fans hope to hear some of her solo music as well as Steps hits.  Lisa will headline the event on Sunday, July 23.
