Fashion! Music! Killer dance moves! And glitter glitter glitter, with Ghetto Fabulous, hosted by Sam Buttery and Rhys' Pieces.

Catwalk Extravaganza is the ultimate competition at the intersection of fashion, dance, and performance. This is where style meets stamina, and creativity takes centre stage. Expect a fierce lineup of talent serving looks, precision movement, and show-stopping moments as they battle it out for the crown. From high-fashion drama to explosive choreography, this is not just a runway—it’s a full-scale performance spectacle. Bold, unapologetic, and impossible to ignore.

What is Catwalk Extravaganza?

Imagine RuPaul's Drag Race meets The Great British Bake Off... with a splash of Miss World—and you get to decide the winner!

Catwalk Extravaganza is a high-energy live competition where incredible performers battle it out across four exciting categories. Just like Bake Off, contestants compete through different rounds. Just like Drag Race, they're judged on charisma, creativity, performance and star quality. But there's one big twist...The audience are the judges! Cheer loud, show your love, and help crown the winners.

👠 Fashion
Who serves the fiercest runway look? Expect stunning outfits, bold concepts and unforgettable fashion moments.

💃 Dance
Solo dancers bring the energy, technique and attitude. From voguing to street dance and everything in between, who will leave the crowd wanting more?

🎤 Talent
Anything goes! Live vocals, lip sync, burlesque, spoken word, circus skills, comedy or something completely unexpected. This is the category where performers show exactly what makes them special.

🔥 XXX Factor
Charisma. Confidence. Sex appeal. Stage presence. Who has that undeniable star quality that gets the audience screaming?

Hosted by the fabulous Sam Buttery and Rhys' Pieces, Catwalk Extravaganza is a celebration of drag, performance, fashion and queer excellence. Expect big personalities, jaw-dropping talent, unforgettable looks and plenty of surprises.

So get ready to cheer, scream and cast your vote... because the crown is in your hands!

Whatever your gender, ethnicity or sexuality we invite you to fall in love with yourself and your unique life as you revel in this extravaganza like no other.

Jacob Alon

SOLD-OUT.

The first show to be announced for this year's Happy Valley Pride festival, Jacob Alon is a Scottish singer-songwriter with a profound gift for storytelling. Both intimate and devastatingly introspective, their music is touched by a rare timelessness. Drawing fair comparisons to artists such as Jeff Buckley and Rufus Wainwright, Alon’s sound cuts through the air with powerful and haunting vocals, intricate guitar playing, and pensive, poetic lyrics. 

'Breathtaking' - NME.

'A distinctive and powerful voice' - Rolling Stone.

'Heart-stoppingly beautiful' - Clash.

'They are going to be huge' - The Herald.

Alon recently made a big impression on Later with Jools Holland (see the video below)...
