London’s summer events calendar will gain a fresh and meaningful addition this year with the arrival of East & Southeast Asian Pride UK. Hosted at Electrowerkz on 24 July 2026, the inaugural gathering will bring together members of the East and Southeast Asian LGBTQIA+ community alongside friends, family and allies for an evening dedicated to culture, creativity and connection.
The event begins with a community market fair from 7pm, offering attendees the opportunity to meet charities, organisations and independent vendors working within East and Southeast Asian communities. Designed to encourage conversation and networking, the opening hours will provide a welcoming environment before the evening’s performances begin.
At 9pm, the spotlight shifts to the main stage, where an eclectic programme of entertainment will showcase some of the most exciting queer East and Southeast Asian talent working across multiple disciplines. From live music and dance to drag, cabaret and burlesque, the performances are intended to celebrate both artistic excellence and cultural identity.
The event is being presented by Carlos Gu, The Bitten Peach and Kakilang, three names united by a shared commitment to increasing visibility and opportunities for East and Southeast Asian creatives. Together, they hope to establish a landmark annual event that reflects the richness and diversity of queer Asian experiences in Britain.
As midnight approaches, the focus turns from stage performances to the dancefloor. DJs will take over two rooms and keep the energy flowing until 3am, ensuring the evening ends on a high note. For attendees, East & Southeast Asian Pride UK offers a unique combination of community, culture and nightlife unlike anything currently on the UK Pride calendar.
