Classical Pride is back - this time as a five-day festival 🎉

The fun begins on 3 July, when the stars of London's drag scene go head-to-head at HERE at Outernet. Catch exclusive performances by Ru Paul's Drag Race royalty Monét X Change and Thorgy Thor, West End diva Vinegar Strokes, drag king Beau Jangles, trans-masc opera star Freddie Love, and instrumentalists Snow White Trash and Barbs— alongside a live orchestra.

Discover the talent of tomorrow at A Proud Future — a series of concerts showcasing LGBTQ+ students from leading London conservatoires. These six half-hour performances take place at St Giles-without-Cripplegate, the medieval parish church that sits at the heart of the Barbican, on 5 July.
