Local couple among new names revealed for Town Fields celebration
Doncaster Pride 2026 has announced a fresh wave of performers and community voices for its return to Town Fields on 8 August, with organisers also appealing for local people to volunteer in the run-up and after the big day. The latest line-up news confirms appearances from Doncaster couple Alexis and Liam Blake, a high-energy Sabrina Carpenter tribute and the much-loved performer Ken Lambert.
The Pride team says tickets are on sale now via its official channels, with this year’s programme spanning the Main Stage and a dedicated Inclusion Space designed to foreground lived experience and conversation alongside music and performance.
Alexis and Liam Blake to share their story on multiple stages
Alexis and Liam, who document their relationship and everyday life online, will appear both on the Main Stage and in the Inclusion Space. Organisers highlighted their role in opening up conversations around transition, identity and support within families and friendship groups.
“Alexis is a transgender woman who shares her life, experiences, and perspectives across social media, helping to educate, inspire, and support others… By speaking candidly about the realities of transition and life as a couple, they’ve built a supportive community, challenged prejudice, and encouraged countless people to embrace themselves and stand up for others.”
Their inclusion signals Pride’s ongoing emphasis on blending entertainment with visibility and learning — a format that has become a hallmark of Doncaster’s event in recent years, putting community voices side-by-side with headline performances.
Pop tribute and returning favourite confirmed
Fans of chart pop are promised a set from Sweet Like Sabrina, a Sabrina Carpenter tribute act set to bring dancers and high-tempo choreography to the Main Stage. Organisers trailed a set list full of fan favourites designed to get Town Fields moving.
Also confirmed is crowd-pleaser Ken Lambert, a familiar name to Doncaster Pride regulars. The organisers described Ken’s return as a guaranteed party moment, signalling another year of feel-good anthems and singalongs.
Volunteers needed around event dates
To support the build, delivery and take-down of the festival, Pride is seeking volunteers across four dates surrounding the main event. Roles typically include helping with site set-up, stewarding, information support and post-event clear-up. If you’re able to pitch in, the organisers are asking people to get in touch via their usual contact channels.
- Volunteer dates: 6, 7, 9 and 10 August
- Main event: Saturday 8 August, Town Fields
- Tickets: available now via Doncaster Pride’s official platforms
What’s new and where to find updates
This year’s Pride continues to balance large-scale music moments with spaces designed for reflection, support and inclusion. The Inclusion Space is expected to host talks, Q&As and community-led segments, complementing the Main Stage programme. Organisers have encouraged people to follow their social media feeds and website for rolling announcements, access information and running times closer to the day.
With a blend of local voices and national tribute acts, the 2026 event aims to be both a celebration and a safe, welcoming space for LGBTQ+ people, families and allies. As with previous years, attendees are advised to plan travel in advance, dress for the weather and allow time for entry checks. Bringing water and sunscreen is always wise for a full day on the grass at Town Fields.
