18/06/2026
Join us for an unforgettable night of q***r joy, bold performances, and community celebration right in the heart of Forest Gate.
We've got a glittering lineup of burlesque and drag acts that will leave you astounded. Expect DJs spinning all night, a packed dance floor, and plenty of sparkle to go around.
We’re bringing the party with the return of the last year's epic host Don One, and astounding performances from Bi-Curious George, Ren Carnation and Christina Draguilera, all accompanied by the q***r anthems served by DJ Drama Queen. After the show, DJ Daniela Corvea will take us into the night. Expect to have the time of your life!
Whether you're here to strut, shimmy, or simply soak up the vibes, Forest Gate Pride is the place to be. Come celebrate love, expression, and everything that makes our community shine.
The line up…
Don One
After hosting Forest Gate Pride for the first time last year, drag king supremo, Don One will be back hosting our Pride event for 2026! Pronouns: They/Them
Bi-curious George
Once described by Graham Norton as "energetic and charming" and by The Spectator as "a chap, or maybe not a chap", Bi-curious George is an award winning drag king whose work centres around q***r ecology. Through drag, comedy and theatre he shatters the heteronormative lens through which we view the natural world and empowers people to reframe their identities and their relationships to ‘nature’.
Their 5 star solo show, Q***r Planet, has been performed all over the UK including at the Southbank Centre, soho theatre, kew gardens, the Oxford Natural History Museum, Nottingham Playhouse and the Hull Truck Theatre. Their second show, Snail Trail, will be touring museums and ecology centres in Spring 2026.
Ren Carnation
Ren Carnation is a trans drag creature from Hong Kong playing with costume creation and your heart palpitations throughout East London. First performing with their Peach Fuzz in November 2024, they have since exploded onto stages all over London and travelled all around the UK with their genderfluid draglesque style.
Christina Draguilera
For the last six years, Christina Draguilera has been the undisputed Drag Queen of the East, serving East London more camp than a scout jamboree in fishnets. From chaotic quizzes and bottomless karaoke brunches to DJ sets that have caused at least three divorces and one missing thong, Christina has built a reputation for filthy jokes, questionable life advice and getting entire pubs screaming power ballads like their rent depends on it. On 27th June, she’ll be descending on Forest Gate Pride at the fabulous Forest Tavern for a massive singalong packed with camp classics, diva anthems and enough double entendres to make your nan clutch her pearls. Expect big laughs, bigger vocals and the kind of energy usually only seen after four vodkas and a bad decision.
DJ Daniela Corvea
Daniela Corvea is a DJ, producer, songwriter, and a vocalist. Her sound and sets weave together driving grooves, deep rhythmic percussion, and melodic, emotional elements, creating a fluid journey that moves between high-energy moments and more expressive, atmospheric passages.. She has performed at iconic venues including Ministry of Sound, XOYO, Egg London, and Basing House, establishing herself across both the UK underground and wider live music scene
DJ Drama Queen
Our Kick down the Closet resident DJ has all your best hits lined up with some new faves to get you dancing!
