Announcing the festival's return, organisers said: "We cannot wait to swing open those 300-year-old gates and flood the festival venue with inclusivity, joy and pride."
"After three years without a Pride party, we’ve pulled out all the stops and we’re throwing a full weekend long queer city centre festival," they explained.
Co-founder and promoter of Mother Cormac Cashman told GCN : "We wanted our comeback to be an entire weekend of shows, with performances from some incredible queer talent and allies.
"This is without a doubt the biggest Pride show we will ever have thrown and we can’t wait to welcome people back to celebrate together."
