OUTLOUD Music Festival at WeHo Pride set a dazzling standard for Pride Month celebrations, taking over West Hollywood Park last weekend, May 30 to June 1. Anchoring WeHo Pride Weekend, the three-day event brought together a packed lineup of LGBTQ+ artists and allies, for a slate of performances aiming to foster community and inclusivity.
Headliners Lizzo and Kim Petras on Saturday, and Remi Wolf, Paris Hilton, and Honey Dijon on Sunday lit up the mainstage, along with a stacked lineup including Pabllo Vittar, Horse Meat Disco, Shygirl, Rebecca Black, Brooke Eden, and a DJ performance by Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Meredith Marks, who surprised the crowd by bringing fellow Housewives Dorinda Medley, Cynthia Bailey, and Crystal Minkoff onstage for a celebratory shot ski.
“I want people from everywhere- small town or big city, straight, queer, black, white, brown to know that there’s a safe and rowdy place for them in country music,” Brooke Eden told LA Weekly.
The festival kicked off with a free outdoor concert on Friday, May 30, headlined by Maren Morris, along with Qveen Herby, Jamie Fine, and Venessa Michaels with special guest Kaleena Zanders. WeHo Pride Parade Guardian Icon Cara Delevingne joined the festivities on Sunday, while Paula Abdul made a surprise appearance, dancing during Honey Dijon’s set.
OUTLOUD 2025 showcased a range of talent, from global icons to rising stars, reinforcing WeHo’s legacy as a hub for LGBTQ+ celebration.
