The Brit award-winner and twice Grammy nominated Milkshake and Acapella singer will headline the Sunday night (29 August) of the Big Weekend celebrations.

The set will include her new single ‘4th of July (Fireworks)’ from the upcoming album, Flesh Tone.

Jackie Crozier, festival director of Manchester Pride, said: “The main stage entertainment is all about letting your hair down and having a good time. Kelis has had some amazing hits over the years and will, no doubt, really get the crowd going.
