The kitchen disco pop siren has proved her 2001 hit Murder on the Dancefloor is as lethal as ever, capturing the mood of the moment with its use in Saltburn, the dark comedy movie currently making waves on streaming services. 

Sophie, who last visited Poole in 2022 on her Kitchen Disco Tour, will be back at Lighthouse on Saturday 8 June to headline a flat floor show before giving way to DJs as the Concert Hall hosts a late-night after-party. 

“We’re thrilled that Sophie will headline Poole’s first ever Pride this summer – she’s the perfect artist to top the bill on a day that is all about inclusivity,” says Tim Colegate, Head of Programming at Lighthouse. “We want to create an amazing day, an event that all the people of Poole can be proud of. Poole Pride will be a safe space for everyone where people can be themselves, come as they are, and crucially, enjoy some first-class entertainment – something that Lighthouse is very used to.”  

“We’re also working on a family-friendly daytime programme with performances, talks, educational sessions and signposting to LGBTQ+ support charities and groups, and we’re thankful for the support of Bourne Free, Bournemouth’s annual pride festival, to pull this off.” adds Tim. “Poole is a major conurbation and, as a much-cherished part of life in the town, Lighthouse is perfectly placed to host its first ever Pride event… and we’re going all out to make it a day we'll never forget!”
