Co-President Daniel Smith said Pride WA was excited to be bringing top quality national acts to Perth.

“For the first time in many years, our entire community will be able to come together to celebrate after the parade at ‘Celebration’, and we plan to put on an amazing show,” said Smith.

“Both Sneaky Sound System and Didier Cohen are quality acts, who have been very supportive of the Pride Community, and we expect them to be major drawcards.”

Co-President Michelle Rigg said ‘Celebration’ would include loads of local performers.

“Celebration’ will have two stages.  There will be something for everybody, and there will never be a dull moment,” Ms Rigg said.

“We are working hard to put together a line-up featuring the best of local LGBT performers to support our headline acts, and we look forward to announcing our full local line-up in the weeks ahead.”
