Pride Month might still be a few months away, but the city of West Hollywood is ready to kick the celebrations off right with a little help from a pair of pop stars.
On Friday (March 21), Outloud Music Festival announced that Lizzo and Lil Nas X will serve as the weekend’s headliners. Taking place May 31 and June 1 at WeHo Pride, the annual festival will also feature performances from special musical guests Kim Petras, Honey Dijon, Paris Hilton, their return to WeHo Pride in 2025, Shygirl, Pabllo Vittar, Rebecca Black, Empress Of and more.
“At a time when our rights and visibility continue to be challenged, it’s more important than ever for the LGBTQ+ community, allies, organizations, and advocates to come together in solidarity,” Jeff Consoletti, OUTLOUD’s founder and executive producer, said in a statement. “This festival is a place where we celebrate and empower queer artists on a massive scale. As we continue to grow, so does our impact in bringing the LGBTQ+ community to the forefront of entertainment.”
The news comes amid Lizzo’s big comeback — with the releases of her latest song “Still Bad” and the announcement of her forthcoming album Love in Real Life, Lizzo recently declared that she wants to “make real music with radical joy” in the coming months, while also claiming the allegations of sexual harassment leveled at her in 2023 were “supposed to destroy” her. “It has only set me free,” she wrote on X. “Now I know none of this is real. The only thing that’s real is the love that I share with my family, my friends, nature, my fans, in Real Life.”
Lil Nas X, meanwhile, has been hard at work releasing new music off his forthcoming album Dreamboy. After releasing five new songs in a row in mid-March, the rapper dropped his latest single “Lean On My Body” on Friday. The fan-favorite track was first teased by Lil Nas all the way back in 2022, a fact he reminded his fans of when he reposted the original clip on his X.
