Boy band Union J have also been announced as the headline act for this year’s Lincoln Pride event.
The parade route will start near City Square and will follow pedestrianised streets, finally ending at the location of the main stage on the Brayford, giving everyone a chance to take their places to see the whole day of free entertainment available.
Among others in the lineup of performers is Lloyd Daniels, who is most famous for his TV appearances and starring role in Joseph and His Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat.

Other artists in the lineup include Sam Solace, Jason Prince, Stacey Jackson and Lee Lambert.
A representative from Lincoln Pride UK said: “We wanted to make sure that 2016 was the biggest Lincoln Pride yet, and the parade along with our new location on the Brayford will make that a reality.
“We’ve worked hard and spoken to the Highways Agency at length to ensure that there’ll be as little disruption as possible to local residents, but that the parade will be central enough that anyone wants to view it will be able to.”

The spiritual movement was founded in the 1930s by Dada Lekhraj Kripalani, a visionary Indian businessman, also known by the name of Prajapita Brahma Baba. He then passed it over to a trust administered by a group of women who have run it ever since. After experiencing a series of visions in 1936, he was inspired to create a school where the “principles and practices of a virtuous and meditative life could be taught.”
