Clean Bandit have joined Manchester Pride’s Big Weekend line-up.

Chart-toppers Clean Bandit will be playing live at Manchester Pride’s Big Weekend between the 25 and 28 August 2017. The GRAMMY Award winning band celebrated nine weeks at the UK No.1 spot with Rockabye, before releasing their Symphony collaboration with Zara Larsson in March 2017.

“We’re thrilled to have worked with G-A-Y in bagging a UK Pride exclusive performance from Clean Bandit,” the festival confirmed. “It’s brilliant to have such a relevant and current group displaying their support for LGBT people around the world. Their live performances are stunning and I’m sure their appearance at The Big Weekend will be remembered for years to come.”

The band join Faithless’ Sister Bliss, Simian Mobile Disco, DJ Danny Howard and more on the event’s biggest ever dance line-up. Other confirmed acts include spice girl Melanie C, X Factor winner Louisa Johnson and finalist Sara Aalto.

Gok Wan will be showcasing his DJ ability over the weekend, as will Hercules and Love Affair vocalist Shaun J. Wright.
