Pride Park

Letná Plain (Letná Park), the final destination of our Rainbow Parade.

Whether you come with a parade or take to Letná on your own, this year you will enjoy a world-class queer programme in Pride Park. We have five music stages with a varied music programme for everyone to choose from, and one community stage for those who are not too keen on the dancing to music. For the complete line-up roll the page, the descriptions and photos of interprets are at the very bottom.

The programme on the stages is just the tip of the iceberg. As at any festival, Pride Park has plenty of food and drink. There’s beer, soft drinks and no shortage of bars with drinks and liquers. If the hunger strikes, it can be satisfied with both salty and sweet, meat and vegan deliciousness.

Do you want to enjoy the program in Pride Park without queues at beer stands and in greater peace? Make sure you enter the Partner Zone. It is a closed section where we invite festival sponsors and we will gladly make room for you too if you support the festival with 1 500 CZK. The Partner Zone has its own bar, its own toilets, table seating and lockers. You will also get 5 drinks on us, unlimited soft drinks and the chance to meet some of the performers at the meet & greet.

In addition to the refreshment stands, there will also be a number of infopoints and stands of non-profits and other organizations on Letná. They will form a separate zone, which we call JarmarQ (“marQet”). So be sure to swing by, pick up some flyers, backpack pins, or shop for odds and ends.

You will also be able to get tested for HIV in the Czech AIDS Help Society tent or relax in the chill zone. The latter offers the opportunity to get glittered-up or take a photo in the photo corner.

Accessibility and practical info

The area is wheelchair accessible. If you come with us in a parade and you cannot manage the stairs from the Čechův bridge, you can use the barier free bus that will take you from the bridge to Špejchar. There are wheelchair accessible toilets in the area – but they are off to the side by the Partner Zone as there is a paved walkway and better access. We have also provided mobile signal boosting for Pride Park.

We use deposite cups throughout the Pride Park. You can return them at a separate booth and at the Pride Energy booth. But you don’t have to return them. If you keep them you’ll donate a few pennies to the festival and you’ll be left with a cool souvenir.

The programme at this stage will be interpreted into the Czech sign language.

The music group Le Čhavendar is based on the traditions of top Romani musicians. However, Le Čhavendar tries to enrich this tradition and musical art with a number of modern musical elements. The result is an interesting blend of Romani folklore enriched with jazz, samba, salsa and funk.

Le Chhavendar as a group has existed for over twenty years. During this time the members have matured, both physically and musically. When this musical formation was formed, the youngest member was only 13 years old. Today Le Čhavendar consists of six musicians: Emil Miko – vocalist, Jan Dužda – bassist and vocalist, Marek Miko – solo guitarist, Štefan Malík – solo guitarist and vocalist, Milan Dužda – guitarist and vocalist and Michal Cába – drummer and percussionist. They form a perfectly harmonized rhythmic foundation on which the individual harmonies and vocals can be easily and effortlessly built.

The musical qualities of Le Chhavendar are evidenced by the number of festivals, both here and abroad. Le Čhavendar played at the most prestigious ethno festivals such as Respect or Khamoro. From abroad, it is worth mentioning Thames Festival London, which is held annually in central London and is one of the most attended festivals in the UK.

Le Čhavendar are also winners of the Zlíntalent 2004 Music Award for the best original work. Their song Sako vakerel – everyone is talking succeeded in the competition of more than five hundred other songs. This prize contributed to the making of a documentary by Czech Television in 2005.

Tom Aspaul is a queer singer/songwriter from Wolverhampton. Having written songs for Kylie Minogue, Celeste, Becky Hill and Mae Muller; in 2020 Tom released his debut album ‘Black Country Disco’ to critical acclaim. Named as ‘queer disco album of the year’ by Gay Times and featured in GQ and Guardian best-of-2020 lists, the record was supported by a sold out UK tour and remix album featuring collaborations with MNEK, Initial Talk and Kim Wilde. Summer 2022 sees Tom releasing his 2nd Europop-inspired album, ‘Life in Plastic’.

“I wanted  to take that back, and be like, Why? I wanted to make pink punk again, and reclaim the word  ‘girl’.” That feminist impulse has driven the defiant, brash electro-pop music Milly has made under the name GIRLI since she was a teenager in 2016, earning her plaudits from the  Guardian, NME, and i-D, for hit singles like “Hot Mess” and her 2019 debut album, Odd One  Out. Along the way, she crafted a persona for herself that was as hard as the word ‘girl’ is  soft: “I built this thing up as GIRLI, like, I don’t give a fuck what anyone thinks”.

Princip is a 20-year-old artist living in Prague. His music is between electronic, hyperpop and alternative dance music. He first appeared as a participant in the Starter contest on Wave radio and shortly after released his debut EP Drama. Since then he has been active mainly in Prague, where he has played several concerts, for example with Emma Smetana. In his work he reacts to the events in society and through his unusual artistic style he opens and processes these topics. Princip also works as a visual artist and with his music video for the song II. The track was nominated in two categories at London’s LIFT-OFF festival, where it was a finalist.

Princip is currently working on his second EP, which will be titled Tragicomedy and will be released in the fall of 2022. Together with Rainer, he is building on his previous work, but in a whole new style. In an interview with Lui magazine, Princip describes his new work as “a mood that I enjoy incredibly. It’s like I’m finally free and uninhibited for the first time in my life”. You can hear the released songs and the ones that haven’t seen the light of day live on 13.8.2022 at Prague Pride festival.

Cassiopeia has been doing Drag for less than three years. She performs mainly in Prague. Among her inspirations are pop divas such as Ariana Grande. She also admires Medusa from Greek mythology and anything marine and snakes. She has been singing since she was a little girl, so besides the classic lipsync you will also hear live singing.

Two years ago Tome shone on the electronic scene with his debut EP Made for You, followed by several singles and then in July 2022 he released the Freedom EP. His success was recorded on the biggest Czech radio stations such as Fajn Radio or Evropa 2. The young singer Elly scores points there with her single Are You There. The set is a combination of both artists’ work. With this set they performed together at the Colours of Ostrava festival. Karol Komenda who was supposed to accompany the set, sadly cannot attend.

Just Karen is a drag queen and ethereally chaotic entity who combines dance, lip-sync, poetry and spoken word in her performances. She has performed at the Bushwig Berlin Festival, Charli XCX concert, The Jan Kraus Show and in the opera production La Traviata. At this year’s Prague Pride, she will perform alongside Brazilian dancer Helena Araújo and Slovak choreographer and drag queen Martin Talaga a.k.a. Venice. And it’s going to be a deeply soulful revelry.

Miss Petty is a Czech drag queen, who was the first in the Czech Republic to combine the art of drag with her own music. Her music is as colourful as her drag persona, and straddles the line between pop, rap and hyperpop. In her lyrics, she uses hyperbole and irony to make fun of herself, but also larger social issues like fatphobia and homophobia. As Miss Petty, David clearly sets the boundaries of his presentation, but also makes it clear that maximum openness is what it’s all about.

Joining the festivities of Pride Park at Letna on Saturday will be Gizela Kova, Priscila, Proxima Torque and other members of the Haus of Kova. Prepare yourself for a show that will take you on a trip around the world, showcasing both Drag and Music from various genres and backgrounds.

Próxima Torque – Performing with the Haus of Kova since 2020, Proxima is not only a fierce makeup artist but she’s also a versatile dancer. She lights up the stage with her presence and gives you that Drag Race feeling every time she performs.

Henriette – Music is her lifelong hobby. She regularly plays at the Prague Pride festival, corporate parties, fashion shows, parties and private events and weddings.

Zey is a Prague DJ. Through their work they are primarily trying to liberate – themselves and others. Through the prism of their lived experience, they share the emancipatory potentials of queer artists in the African diaspora in particular. Genre is not as important to tthem as the spaces for experimentation in mapping and mixing (not only) electronic music from, for example, South Africa, the East and West African equator, Euro-American landscapes or black Latin America. They like and follow the flows of diasporic sounds and rhythms, which is why you will often hear hip hop, punk, or vogue music in their sets.

Despite moving to the capital, she has a strong connection to the Wrocław scene centered around the Regime Brigade crew.

Becoming interested in music from a very young age, Marta quickly became an avid radio fan. This led to her five year tenure at student-led Radio Luz in Wrocław where she rose to a Program and Music Director position and learned to DJ. Being part of Regime—a collective pushing most exciting local music and art through its releases and events—and the crew around Uczulenie club, Young Majli quickly became one of the most influential people in the world of non-techno club music in Poland, known for her eclectic tastes blended into smooth mixes.
