Blue to headline Glasgow Pride 2014

Blue are to headline Glasgow Pride 2014.

The former Attitude cover stars will top a line-up that also includes X Factor alumni Amelia Lily and Lucy Spraggan. The event takes place this year on July 19, at a new location within King Street in the city centre.

Blue – Duncan James, Lee Ryan, Simon Webbe and Antony Costa – notched up eleven Top Ten hits between 2001 and 2004 before going on hiatus in 2005.

They reformed in 2011 to represent the United Kingdom at the Eurovision Song Contest and released a comeback album called Roulette last year.

This year will be the 18th time Glasgow has hosted a Pride celebration, and in addition to the pop performances at the main event, there will be a programme of special events including a LGBT art exhibition and a Human Rights conference.

Glasgow Pride’s main event takes place on July 19 and tickets, priced at £5 each, are available at www.prideglasgow.co.uk
