Brighton Pride with City Wall Records | Pride is celebration and protest. Individuality and community. Joy and resistance. At Brighton Pride, we speak our truths, lift our community up, and look for the light.
This Pride weekend, City Wall Records takes Brighton from day into night with 14 hours of kaleidoscopic colour and sound. Whether you are out and proud, an ally or still finding your place within it all, the dance floor welcomes you.
Beginning at noon overlooking Brighton’s famous parade, the party kicks off upstairs at the Hare & Hounds. A standout lineup of ten DJs will spin the very best of techno, house and hands-in-the-air anthems. There’s no better place to begin than at the heart of the action on London Road. The parade itself is a vibrant embodiment of everything Pride stands for, deserving a soundtrack that carries its spirit high above the rooftops.
As the sun sets, the beats shift from Brighton’s streets down to Tide Beach Club on the seafront. Eight more DJs, joined by acclaimed headliners Brighton’s own Just Her and London-based Samantha Togni, take to the decks to turn things up a notch.
Just Her is the epitome of feel-good sunshine on the skin, revered for sweeping soundscapes that elevate emotion through melodic breaks, pulsating undercurrents, and a romantic, electronica-driven core cranked up to Ibiza standards. Otherwise known as Claire Spooner, she is also a vocal advocate for the LGBTQ+ community. Deeply ingrained in the scene, her colour-soaked creative imprint mirrors her ongoing commitment to inclusivity and change. Her music summons collective transcendence.
Samantha Togni is the orchestrator of the night, unleashing the aura of Berlin-inspired queer and trans nightlife. Her founding of London’s leading queer and non-binary night, Boudica, has catapulted her into the upper ranks of the global underground music scene. She pushes the limits of techno through sweat-soaked, tunnel-vision sets of pounding bass, soaring climaxes and high-voltage synth work.
From the skies to the sea, it’s 14 hours of techno-driven mastery – loud, proud and unbound. A fiercely curated, one-off super-event you’ll want to be on the list for.
