The organisers of next month's As One in the Park are keen to reach out to as many LGBTQIA Londoners as possible with their message of peace and unity, as they prepare to put on a ten hour festival of Queer Culture on July 18th.
Running from 12PM–10PM, the festival brings together 4 stages of music, drag, cabaret, DJs, dancers, street food, cocktails and full festival energy in the heart of London. It is a day built for dancing, celebrating, dressing up, showing out and coming together as one.
This year’s lineup is bigger, bolder and more international than ever, with global superstar Pabllo Vittar flying in from Brazil for a major UK festival moment. Known around the world for her explosive performances, Pabllo brings Club Vittar for a UK exclusive stage take-over alongside a stacked line-up of Brazilian heat!
Also joining the festival is legendary US drag superstar Miss Vanjie, bringing the chaos, charisma and unforgettable energy that made her a global fan favourite.
At the heart of the festival is the BEYOND Main Stage, bringing huge production, iconic DJs and hands-in-the-air dancefloor moments throughout the day, led by true house music legend Todd Terry - one of the most influential names in dance music,- alongside the one and only Gok Wan, presenter, DJ, fashion icon and feel-good party powerhouse.
Across the festival site, guests can explore a full day of entertainment, from high-energy DJ sets and live performances to cabaret, comedy and drag showcases. Kitty’s Cabaret will bring a fabulous mix of performance, personality and camp theatrical magic, creating one of the most exciting spaces on the festival map.
The 4-stage format gives the festival a true multi-area feeling, with something for every part of the LGBTQ+ community and its allies. From feel-good house and pop moments to queer collectives, cabaret, comedy and dancefloor anthems, As One In The Park is designed to feel like a full day out - not just a show, but a complete summer festival experience.
Expect street food, bars, cocktails, live drag shows, dancers, music, glitter, outfits and thousands of people coming together for one unforgettable day in the sunshine. Walpole Park provides the perfect open-air setting, giving guests space to dance, relax, meet friends and celebrate in a safe, inclusive and electric environment.
At its heart, As One In The Park is about community. It is a festival created to bring people together - to celebrate LGBTQ+ culture, queer joy, chosen family, music and freedom. It is about being seen, being proud and sharing a huge summer moment with thousands of others.
