Dublin Pride 2025 marks a milestone year that sees us celebrate 10 years of both Marriage Equality and Gender Recognition legislation in Ireland.

Our Line-up is a truly joyful and Iconic mix of international and national talent befitting the occasion.

Headlining the mainstage of Mother Pride Block Party for its 2025 outing is The Blessed Madonna, a globally renowned DJ and producer known for her genre-defying sets, deep-rooted love of disco, house, and techno, and her fierce commitment to inclusivity on the dancefloor, she’s become a true icon of global club culture.

She will be joined by drag megastar, and all-around icon and LGBTQ+ legend, Trixie Mattel for a very special Pride DJ set.

Mother co-founder Cormac Cashman said:

“Pride 2025 isn’t just another party — it’s a landmark moment. We’re celebrating a decade of Marriage Equality and Gender Recognition in Ireland, and we’re doing it the way our community knows best: loud, proud, and together on the dancefloor. Pride is still protest, still joy, still resistance — and it’s never meant more.”

The Mother Pride Block Party is one of the biggest annual fundraising drives for GCN and Mother is proud to contribute to ensure its sustainability as a key community resource for the LGBTQ+ community in Ireland.
