TELEVISION star Katie Price will headline an outdoor festival in Newcastle.

Scotswood Showbar in Newcastle will host the two-day LGBTQ+ event on Saturday, July 25 and Sunday, July 26.

The Showbiz Stadium festival will transform the venue’s outdoor space on St James Boulevard into a 400-capacity Pride arena.

Celebrities including TV personality Katie Price, RuPaul's Drag Race UK finalist Catrin Feelings and a host of drag stars, performers and DJs will attend.

Liam Glendinning, owner of Scotswood Showbar, said: "Pride has always been a hugely important time for us and for our community, so when we started planning this year, we wanted to create something bigger than anything we've done before.

"Showbiz Stadium is our way of celebrating Pride on a scale we've never attempted.

"We've invested heavily into creating a fantastic outdoor festival experience, bringing together incredible performers, professional production, great entertainment and a welcoming atmosphere for everyone.

"To have names such as Katie Price, Catrin Feelings and CeCe D'Vyne joining us for our very first Pride festival is incredibly exciting, and we're looking forward to welcoming visitors from across the North East and beyond for what promises to be an unforgettable weekend."

The two-day event promises a packed schedule of entertainment, with shows running from 11am to 11pm each day before festivities move indoors.
