Virgin Radio UK has announced that the pop-up station Virgin Radio Pride UK will be returning for its fourth summer. Taking place from 1 June to 31 August, the radio station will hear from the likes of Suzi Ruffell, TikTok star Shivani Dave, Adele Roberts, footballer Lianne Sanderson, and more.
This year’s Virgin Radio Pride UK station is packed full of exciting shows to listen to. You can look forward to a range of powerful and entertaining documentaries, including one exploring the explosion of lesbian nightlife hosted by our very own editor-in-chief Roxy Bourdillon. Every Saturday you can tune in to listen to Heartstopper star Bradley Riches’ lunchtime show, and on weekday evenings at 7 pm, you can listen to the online sensation and broadcaster Shivani Dave.
Alongside bringing us some exciting joyous content for Pride season, Virgin Radio Pride is committed this year to highlighting vital topics such as keeping young people safe online. With a show hosted by trans icon Jaxon Feeley and Esther Ghey, the mother of Brianna Ghey, the station will provide more information about how to protect LGBTQIA youth.
To celebrate 20 years of the iconic show The L Word, Virgin Radio Pride UK is bringing us a very special show with Vicki Blight, Adele Roberts, DIVA editor-in-chief Roxy Bourdillon and actors from the show. Want more? You’re in luck because Graeme Smith and the team from multi-award-winning podcast OUTCAST UK will be taking over Sundays with interviews, late-night chat, and news.
Virgin Radio Pride UK will be broadcast from 1 June to 31 August 2024. Ask your smart speaker to “play Virgin Radio Pride”. Get us online, on virginradiopride.co.uk, on the free Virgin Radio app or on DAB Digital Radio in Greater London and Scotland.
