Body glitter, warehouse beats and one of Pride weekend’s most anticipated parties are officially back on the calendar. LadyLand returns to Under the K Bridge Park on Saturday, June 27, bringing another stacked lineup of queer talent to Brooklyn with Kim Petras leading the charge.
The annual festival, created by nightlife icon Ladyfag and co-produced with The Bowery Presents, has become one of the defining events of New York City Pride weekend. Over the years, LadyLand has built a reputation for merging club culture, pop spectacle and queer community into one giant dance floor.
This year’s lineup stretches across pop, hyper-pop, electronic and hip-hop, with performances and DJ sets from Romy, CupcakKe, DJ Gigola, Hannah Diamond and Meredith Marks, who is slated for a DJ set. Other artists on the bill include Babymorocco, Bayli, Maara and The Illustrious Blacks.
A Pride Staple With Club Kid Energy
LadyLand’s rise has mirrored New York’s renewed appetite for nightlife experiences that feel communal instead of corporate. What started as a downtown party quickly evolved into a destination event that attracts club kids, fashion insiders, queer artists and pop fans from around the world.
Rolling Stone summed up the festival’s appeal after last year’s edition, writing, “LadyLand has felt like an electric, never-ending party and queer refuge for the last few years.”
That atmosphere has helped separate LadyLand from the increasingly crowded festival circuit. Billboard previously described the event as “equal parts Coachella, Berlin nightclub, and queer warehouse rave,” a comparison that feels especially fitting given this year’s mix of dance music heavy-hitters and cult pop favorites.
Them also praised the festival’s commitment to queer artists, writing: “With all this queer talent on display, LadyLand makes a powerful statement to other music festivals that claim that any dearth of queer representation on their lineups is a result of the lack of available talent in the industry. Look around, Ladyfag seems to suggest, there are so many queer artists to choose from.”
Kim Petras Leads A Huge Year For Queer Pop
For Petras, the headlining slot marks another major moment in her ongoing relationship with queer audiences. The Grammy-winning artist has long been a fixture at Pride events around the world, and LadyLand feels like a natural fit for her larger-than-life catalog and club-ready sound.
The lineup announcement also arrives during a moment when queer nightlife spaces continue to face rising costs and venue closures across major cities. Festivals like LadyLand have increasingly become cultural anchors, creating spaces where queer music and performance can thrive on a large scale.
Past LadyLand editions have featured appearances from Christina Aguilera, Honey Dijon, Tinashe, Cardi B, FKA twigs and even Madonna, cementing the festival’s reputation for surprise moments and chaotic celebrity energy.
With a lineup packed with DJs, underground favorites and pop disruptors, LadyLand 2026 is shaping up to be another sweaty, euphoric centerpiece of Pride weekend in New York City. Tickets are on sale HERE.
