KITTY is on her way!
Controversial X-Factor star Kitty Brucknell is to headline Grimsby Pride later this month.
The rainbow comes to Cleethorpes for the town's annual pride event.
People from all over will come together to celebrate the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) community at Meridian Park, in Cleethorpes on Saturday, August 31.
And this year the event will be even bigger than ever, promising a line-up that will have something to please everyone.
Grimsby Pride aims to embrace the diversified talents of local artists and provide them with a platform for their future musical endeavours.
The line-up includes the fabulous Bears Aloud, who have been with the festival since day one and have successfully acquired a dedicated following in the area.
The fresh faces of Pride will include local acts Amy Naylor, Supernormals and Bmused who will all be performing on the day.
National acts flying to the wings of Grimsby Pride will be new pop R'n'B trio, R3action with a unique blend of diverse voices, and up and coming boyband Projekt Weekend, who promise to bring back great British pop with their debut single Second to None.
Pop trio, Stolen Identity will deliver strong vocals and an infectious beat that's guaranteed to have you dancing, and Scottish nightclub singer Ashley Collins, who made a name for herself when she supported The Wanted, will be performing hits from her new album, Adulation.
Headlining the festival this year is the one and only Kitty Brucknell of X-Factor fame, who has continued to develop her unique style of pop and high energy music. Kitty has recently had successful tours in China and headlined Gran Canaria Pride this year. She will also deliver a twist of Eurovision, when she performs Loreen's 2012 winning song 'Euphoria'.
Wayne Reece-Gorman, Chairman of Grimsby Pride says: "Events like ours are important in the continuing building of relationships across all social spectrums within the North East Lincolnshire regions providing a sense of harmony and cohesion, within a diverse region and Britain.
"We hope to attract a large audience during the afternoon. Our aim is to attract people locally, regionally and nationally, encouraging them to stay over in North East Lincolnshire."
"We want to push the Festival into the public domain, generate tourism and support local businesses and infrastructure.
"Our success relies on the wider community engaging with us so we can all work together to deliver a fantastic, enjoyable and successful Pride Festival 2013."
Entry is £3 for adults and free for children under 12, and all LGBT people, their families and friends are welcome.
Gates will open at 11am.
