She returned with her second album Little Red this year which topped the charts, reaching the number 1 spot on the UK album chart. She will be performing on the Waterfront stage.

Sonia, famous for her 1989 number 1 single You’ll never stop me from loving you, is confirmed to perform on theStanley Street stage. Her career launched right here in Liverpool as she sang on the club circuit in the 1980s, where she was discovered by pop producer Pete Waterman. 25 years after the release of her debut single, Sonia will return to where it all started on 2nd August for Liverpool Pride’s biggest event so far.

Across the two main festival sites, the Waterfront Stage and Stanley Street Stage, 65,000 revelers of all ages soaked up the music and atmosphere, with visitors travelling from as far as Germany, Dubai and even Australia to join in the fun.
