Move over, Coachella—Outloud Music Fest is stealing the spotlight in 2025 with a showstopping roster that’s breaking the internet! Lil Nas X, Lizzo, Kim Petras, and Paris Freakin’ Hilton are headlining the iconic LGBTQ+ celebration, and fans are already calling it “the Pride event of the decade.”
The festival, set to take over Los Angeles’ historic West Hollywood Park from June 27–29, promises a rainbow-drenched extravaganza of music, activism, and pure chaos. Organizers spilled the tea this morning, revealing that the four superstars will close each night with full-length sets, complete with “surprise collabs, iconic outfits, and vibes louder than a Pride parade.”
Why This Lineup Is EVERYTHING
Let’s start with Lil Nas X, who’s fresh off his tour de force world tour and cryptic tweets about a “new era.” Rumor has it he’ll debut unreleased tracks at Outloud—and yes, those cowboy boots might make a comeback. Then there’s Lizzo, who’s been teasing a major comeback after her 2024 hiatus. Fans are betting she’ll bring her 2000s-inspired “Y2K Glow-Up Tour” anthems to the stage.
But the real shocker? Kim Petras and Paris Hilton teaming up for a joint DJ set. Petras, riding high on her recent Grammy wins, confirmed she’s “mixing slayage with sparkles” for the festival. And Paris Hilton? The OG “Stars Are Blind” queen is swapping her podcast mic for turntables, promising “hot pink beats and a Barbie-core spectacle.”
More Than Just Music
Outloud 2025 isn’t just about bangers—it’s doubling down on LGBTQ+ advocacy. A portion of ticket sales will fund youth shelters and trans healthcare initiatives, a move Lizzo praised as “using joy to fight injustice.” The fest also features drag showcases, queer-owned vendor markets, and a “Silent Disco for Change” hosted by RuPaul’s Drag Race legends.
Tickets? Good Luck.
Presale starts next week, but Swifties-level chaos is expected. Last year’s fest sold out in 12 minutes, and this lineup’s already breaking Google Search trends. Pro tip: Set those alarms, and maybe pray to the WiFi gods.
One thing’s clear: 2025’s Pride month just got a whole lot louder.
