But organisers have released a statement expressing their disappointment over the change of plans.
They said: "We sincerely apologise to all our visitors who are looking forward to joining us for our Barnsley Pride 2025 events.
"Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, Katie Price will no longer be headlining our Funny Gals Main Stage / After Dark Official Pride Afterparty.
"We want to make it clear that this is beyond our control and that we are genuinely disappointed, as we were very excited to have her as part of our line-up of amazing acts."
It's the latest blow for the event after Katie's close pal Kerry Katona also pulled out.
They continued: "Additionally, the original headliner, Kerry Katona, also had to cancel due to personal reasons. The entire team here at Funny Gals shares in this disappointment, and we deeply regret any inconvenience or disappointment caused."
There is still plenty of talent on the bill though, with RuPaul's Drag Race winner Vicki Vivacious, X Factor's Sammy Brooks, Tess Tickle, and Gladys Duffy all performing.
Nevertheless, fans were still gutted with one writing on Facebook: "Oh no Saturday night ruined!"
Another wrote: "Nooooo [crying emoji]."
Katie is an LGBTQ+ advocate and has performed at Pride events in Dublin and Portsmouth.
Katie Price moans 'oh my god I'm so ugly' as she shows off BALD eyelids after removing fake lashes and make-up
Last month she was one of three main acts on the South coast joining the likes of Nadine Coyle, Sabrina Washington from Mis-Teeq, and Drag Race UK's River Medway and Victoria Scone.
Katie channelled her inner pop princess, donning a tiny black thong bodysuit that showed off her newly enhanced bum and famous boobs.
She strutted on stage in a frilled pink jacket and a giant, jewel-encrusted hat embossed with the word "Pricey" in pink rhinestones which matched a tiny silver belt around her hips.
Over the course of her set, she sang songs including a piano led version of RnB classic (We Don't Have To Take Our) Clothes Off and Tell It To My Heart by Taylor Dayne, and A Whole New World – which she previously released as a single with ex-husband Peter André.
The mum-of-five had a £1,500 bum filler procedure in May which she livestreamed on TikTok.
Two surgeons injected 500ml of filler into Katie's bum as she told fans: 'I've just had Endo laser and filler, I'm having it put in my bum.
'It will dissolve over time, but it can last up to two years.
'Something can always go wrong. Anaesthetic is always a risk, but I haven't been put to sleep for this — I'm awake, talking to you guys.'

Princess Andre looks effortlessly chic in a black co-ord as she leads stars attending Kisstory Blackheath Live festival in London
Princess Andre looked gorgeous in a chic black co-ord as she led the stars at Kisstory Blackheath Live in London on Saturday. The daughter of Katie Price and Peter Andre, 18, opted for a black midi skirt and a matching long-sleeve cropped top, while keeping it cosy in a pair of sneakers. Princess' brother Junior, 20, was also in attendance alongside his girlfriend Jasmine Orr, 24. He rocked grey denim and a matching jumper, while Jasmine looked beautiful in a black top and print cargo trousers. Familiar faces in attendance also included loved-up couple Molly Rainford and Tyler West. Molly, 24, put on a leggy display in a denim pleated skirt and a white strappy top. Tyler, 29, opted for a short-sleeve varsity jacket and black trunks for the occasion. Strictly Come Dancing star Kai Widdrington, 29, kept it smart in a cream co-ord including a shirt and matching trunks. Elsewhere, Danielle Harold flashed a glimpse of her flat midriff in low-rise denim and a black crop top. The EastEnders star, 33, gave an edgy touch adding a black leather jacket. Rochelle and Marvin Humes couldn't wipe a smile off their faces as they arrived both in stylish looks. Marvin, 40, gave his wife a run for her money in a multiprint hoodie and a total black ensemble, finishing off with squared shades. This Morning presenter Rochelle, 36, was effortlessly cool in a pair of denim trunks and a grey cropped top. She wore a navy zipped hoodie and accessorised with orange-tinted sunglasses.

Dame Cleo Laine, the ‘First Lady of Jazz', dies aged 97
Nicknamed the First Lady of Jazz, she was a Grammy award-winning, leading figure of the British jazz music scene along with her late husband, saxophonist Sir John Dankworth, for many years and worked with the likes of Ray Charles and Frank Sinatra. A statement from her children, Jacqui and Alec Dankworth, said: 'It is with deepest sadness that we announce the passing of our dearly beloved mother, Cleo, who died peacefully yesterday afternoon. 'We will all miss her terribly. The family wish to be given space to grieve and ask for privacy at this very difficult time.' The Stables, a charity and venue founded by Dame Cleo and Sir John, said in a statement it was 'greatly saddened' by the news that 'one of its founders and Life President, Dame Cleo Laine has passed away'. David Meadowcroft, chairman of the charity, said: 'Dame Cleo was a remarkable performer who was loved by audiences around the world, and her commitment to ensuring young people had access to great music and music education will continue through the work of The Stables.' Monica Ferguson, chief executive and artistic director of The Stables, said: 'Dame Cleo was admired greatly by fans, other musicians and by The Stables staff and volunteers. She will be greatly missed, but her unique talent will always be remembered.' Sir John, who had been a mainstay of the British jazz scene for more than 50 years, died aged 82 in 2010. She was the daughter of a Jamaican father and English mother whose childhood in Southall, west London, was supported by her father's busking talents. Her early singing experience started at home, with group family singalongs alongside her music-loving father. But before her musical career really took off, Dame Cleo was confined to the life of a hairdresser's assistant. She never gave up, entering talent contests and she sang on a semi-professional basis before finally auditioning for the Johnny Dankworth Seven. After that, she never looked back. She and Sir John, who married in 1958, worked with some of the top names in the music business – and she scored a UK top 10 hit in 1961 with You'll Answer To Me. She previously told the PA news agency: 'At the age of three I was singing, because our family sang, and we entertained each other. So right from a very early age there was this kind of Cinderella dream that I was going to do all this. 'When I wrote my autobiography I realised it was quite a Cinderella story in some ways. 'To me the wonderful thing is actually having done it, not the accolade, but to be singing, and to be singing at the age I am now. That is the best part of it.' Laine received a Grammy award for Best Jazz Vocal Performance in 1985. In 2002 the British Jazz Awards honoured her with their Life Achievement Award. Although best known as a jazz singer, Laine was also an accomplished actress, playing at London's Royal Court Theatre in 1958 and starring in Show Boat at the Adelphi. She became a dame in the 1997 Birthday Honours, saying at the time: 'I am of course, deeply honoured, but I think they have got the reason for it slightly wrong. 'It is British jazz that should have received the accolade for its service to me – it has given me a wonderful life, a successful career and an opportunity to travel the globe doing what I love to do, listening to and working with some of the world's most creative musicians. 'I'm a very lucky lady and I'm extremely grateful.'
