Silvana Imam & the officiall after party, 7.00 PM – 3.00 AM

UKK and Uppsala Pride are proud and excited to present Silvana Imam as the main act! With razor-sharp rap, uncompromising lyrics, and explosive live shows, she has established herself as one of our most influential and relevant artists. A large and devoted audience across the Nordics has taken her to heart.

She comes to Uppsala Pride with music from her latest album, Tro, which was released earlier this year. An album where Silvana Imam continues to challenge, move, and inspire. With these new songs, she takes us on a musical journey filled with power, heart, and stories that reflect both her inner world and the society around us. Come and experience a voice that continues to break new ground and capture the emotions of our time with equal parts strength and poetry.

During the afterparty, there will be performances and entertainment with drag shows, drinks, and DJs!
On stage: Venuz Verze, DJ SebSwe, DJ EQuBE, and Teodora Adora!
