The countdown to WorldPride 2025 in Washington, D.C. has officially begun, and the lineup is nothing short of legendary. With Jennifer Lopez and Troye Sivan headlining, alongside RuPaul, Kim Petras, Tinashe, Zedd, and many more, this is shaping up to be the biggest LGBTQ+ music festival in history.
“WorldPride Music Festival is a moment the world will remember,” said Jake Resnicow, executive producer of the festival.
“With legendary artists and our global community coming together, we’re creating an electrifying celebration that unites, uplifts, and amplifies LGBTQ+ voices like never before. Hosting this festival in our nation’s capital makes it even more powerful—it’s not just a party, it’s a global movement.”
Set for June 6-7, 2025, the festival is just one highlight in a month-long celebration running from May 17 to June 8, bringing music, culture, and activism to the heart of the U.S.
A Star-Studded Celebration
At the forefront is Jennifer Lopez, a longtime LGBTQ+ ally whose music and performances have been staples in queer culture. From Waiting for Tonight to her Super Bowl halftime show, J.Lo is sure to deliver a high-energy spectacle filled with choreography, Pride anthems, and Latin power.
