West Hollywood is gearing up for a pride celebration of epic proportions as Lizzo, Lil Nas X, and Kim Petras have been announced as headliners for the 2025 OUTLOUD Music Festival at WeHo Pride. The LGBTQ+ focused music festival will take over West Hollywood Park on Saturday, May 31 and Sunday, June 1, 2025, filling the weekend with live music from afternoon until midnight each day. Joining the top of the bill are trailblazing DJ/producer Honey Dijon and pop culture icon Paris Hilton, rounding out a diverse set of headliners spanning pop, hip-hop, and club music. With these five powerhouses on stage, WeHo Pride Weekend is set to deliver two days of pure celebratory energy in the heart of Los Angeles’ queer community.
The OUTLOUD festival lineup is stacked with queer talent and allies from around the globe. Attendees can look forward to performances by avant-pop star Shygirl (presenting a special Club Shy set), Brazilian drag-pop sensation Pabllo Vittar, viral pop singer Rebecca Black, indie synth-pop artist Empress Of, the legendary disco collective Horse Meat Disco, rapper-singer Tommy Genesis, and RuPaul’s Drag Race royalty like Sasha Colby and Alyssa Edwards, among many others. Organizers tease that even more acts will be announced as the festival draws closer. In addition to the musical acts, a roster of fabulous hosts – including personalities like Ryan Mitchell, Hannah Rad, Arisce Wanzer, and Billy Francesca – will emcee the weekend’s festivities. The City of West Hollywood is also throwing a free Friday night concert on May 30 to kick off Pride weekend (lineup to be revealed), making the festival accessible and exciting for the whole community.
West Hollywood’s mayor, Chelsea Lee Byers, emphasized the importance of this year’s Pride in light of current events. “Right now, as adverse forces threaten our hard-fought rights, it’s vitally important to create safe and affirming space for LGBTQ+ people and to celebrate artists and performers who embrace that love always wins,” Mayor Byers said, inviting everyone to come out for an amazing Pride weekend. OUTLOUD, produced by events agency JJLA, certainly delivers that ethos. Past editions of the festival have featured icons like Kylie Minogue, Grace Jones, Kesha, Janelle Monáe, and more, cementing its reputation as a premier showcase of LGBTQ+ artistry.
Tickets for OUTLOUD at WeHo Pride 2025 go on sale Tuesday, March 25 at 10 a.m. PT. General admission weekend passes start at $159, with VIP and “Super VIP” packages available for $359 and $699 respectively (before fees). Single-day tickets and exact daily schedules will be released closer to the event. Beyond the concerts, WeHo Pride Weekend (May 30 – June 1) will also feature a free street fair, the annual Dyke March, the Women’s Freedom Festival, and of course the official West Hollywood Pride Parade streaming down Santa Monica Boulevard. With Lizzo ready to bring the juice, Lil Nas X likely to light up the stage with hits like “Industry Baby,” and Kim Petras delivering pop bangers (fresh off her Grammy win for “Unholy”), OUTLOUD 2025 is shaping up to be an unforgettable rainbow-colored party in the heart of WeHo. Pride starts here, and everyone’s invited to sing-along.
