FORMER Spice Girl Melanie C will headline Glasgow Pride at a new venue for 2018.

The organisers of Glasgow Pride will move to Kelvingrove Park in the city’s West End this year to make way for the European Championships.

The event will take place on July 14 and 15, during the traditional Glasgow Fair Fortnight.

Pride Chief Executive, Alastair Smith, said: “The decision to move to Kelvingrove I know will be a positive one and I’m delighted that we will fall on Glasgow’s fair weekend. I’m sure that we can follow on from the success of previous Pride festivals.

“We’re proud to be using the hashtag #fairweekend and this will help to highlight our vision of fairness and equality throughout Scotland and beyond.

“We are pleased to have announced Melanie C as one of our headline acts in this, the 20th anniversary of Spice World.

“The Pride Glasgow team are working hard to deliver an event that will reflect the diversity of our community. We are lucky to have such a passionate, dedicated team of volunteers who will ensure this event will showcase Glasgow as a vibrant community.”

Melanie C, otherwise known as Sporty Spice, has had successful solo career with a string of hits including I Turn To You, When You’re Gone (with Bryan Adams) and Never Be the Same Again.
