Pride season in West Hollywood is getting a major musical moment. The OUTLOUD Music Festival is returning to anchor the city’s WeHo Pride celebrations this June, bringing a stacked lineup of pop favorites and dance-floor disruptors to West Hollywood Park.
Headlining the three-day event are the legendary girl group The Pussycat Dolls alongside pop powerhouse Ava Max and rising British star JADE. The festival runs June 5–7, 2026 as part of the larger WeHo Pride celebration in West Hollywood.
Tickets go on sale March 13 at 10 a.m. PT.
For longtime fans, the biggest headline may be the return of The Pussycat Dolls to Los Angeles. The group, featuring Nicole Scherzinger, Kimberly Wyatt, and Ashley Roberts, will make OUTLOUD their only L.A. stop during their newly announced world tour.
In a statement, the group acknowledged the role queer audiences have played in their success.
“Our LGBTQ+ fans have been with us from the start,” the group said. “Headlining OUTLOUD at WeHo Pride—and making it our Los Angeles tour stop, feels incredibly meaningful.”

A Festival Built for Queer Artists
OUTLOUD founder Jeff Consoletti said the 2026 lineup reflects a moment where pop music and queer culture are tightly linked.
“We’re in the middle of a pop girl resurgence,” Consoletti said. “Artists like The Pussycat Dolls, JADE, and Ava Max represent where pop is headed, and our audience has always been ahead of the curve.”
Since launching the festival, OUTLOUD has focused on giving LGBTQ+ artists a prominent stage. Over the years, performers have included Kylie Minogue, Lizzo, Doechii, Paris Hilton, Grace Jones, and Kesha.
Publications including Rolling Stone and Billboard have previously praised the event for spotlighting queer talent alongside major pop names.
Pride in the Heart of West Hollywood
The festival remains a central part of the city’s Pride programming. John Heilman said the event reinforces West Hollywood’s identity as a global LGBTQ+ destination.
“WeHo Pride reflects the spirit of our community,” Heilman said in a statement. “Events like OUTLOUD bring people from around the world together to celebrate equality, resilience, and joy.”
In addition to the concert lineup, Pride weekend will include the WeHo Pride Parade, Dyke March, Women’s Freedom Festival, the WeHo Street Fair, and a range of arts and community events throughout the city.
