Kesha Is Kicking Off Pride Season in Los Angeles With Headlining WeHo Pride Set
With Pride season just around the corner, Kesha is ready to help the denizens of West Hollywood celebrate properly.
On Tuesday (April 30), WeHo Pride announced that the “Your Love Is My Drug” singer would serve as the official headliner for WeHo Pride Presents Friday Night at OUTLOUD, the organization’s free outdoor concert taking place on Friday, May 31.
Kesha won’t be the only artist taking to the stage at the kickoff concert. Along with the singer’s headlining set, Friday Night at OUTLOUD will also feature performances from Adam Lambert, Monét X Change, Laganja Estranja, Morphine Love Dion, Niña Dioz, Jessica Betts, Owenn and Venessa Michaels.
While the event is free for the public, registration will be required in order to gain entry. For those looking to attend, registration for the concert will open this Friday (May 3) at 10 a.m. PT on OUTLOUD’s website, with participants limited to one registration per email address.
In a statement released with the news, West Hollywood’s mayor John M. Erickson celebrated the “kaleidoscope of queer talent” being featured at upcoming festivities amid ongoing political turmoil for the LGBTQ+ community. “As we approach the 2024 WeHo Pride season, the City of West Hollywood remains a steadfast beacon of progressive values and unwavering advocacy for LGBTQ rights,” he said. “Hosting the WeHo Pride Presents Friday Night at OUTLOUD reaffirms our City’s legacy of championing inclusivity and equality.”
Friday Night at OUTLOUD will precede the organization’s ticketed Pride event, OUTLOUD Music Festival at WeHo Pride on Saturday, June 1, and Sunday, June 2. Pop superstar Kylie Minogue will serve as Saturday’s headliner, while Janelle Monáe and Diplo will close out the event with headlining sets on Sunday.
