West Hollywood, CA May 31st, June 1st & 2nd -- What started out as a gloomy weekend quickly bloomed into a warm and sunny celebration at West Hollywood Park for the 2024 OUTLOUD Music Festival At Weho Pride. Festival attendee experiences included 2 stages, food trucks, cocktail bars, photo ops, surprise appearances, and so much more. OUTLOUD Music Festival is proud to be hosted by the City of West Hollywood as part of WeHo Pride.

Check out my highlights from each day below!

Highlights from Friday: included an epic lip-synch battle between Rupauls' Drag Race alums Leganja Estranja & Morphine Love Dion (spoiler alert: it was a tie!) Followed by Monet X Change hitting the stage, giving the crowd live vocals, inches, and a whole lotta 'BODY'. Kesha closed the night with a set that included new music plus the classic hits like 'Tik Tok' and 'Blow' (my personal favorite). It was such an awesome way to end night & get ready for the weekend ahead!

Highlights from Saturday: included an afternoon performance from Salina Estitties (Ross Matthews was not harmed, IYKYK), followed by an emotional set delivered by Noah Cyrus; so much passion, vocal belting, and obviously a little country-twang. English-singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor made her LA debut with a super fun disco inspired set that closed with her viral song 'Murder On The Dancefloor'. Rapper/DJ Channel Tres led us into the night with an energetic Janelle Monae closed out the night with multiple outfit changes and surprise on-stage appearances from Queen Latifah and Gabrielle Union. Over on the SUMMERTRAMP Stage, Purple Disco Machine closed the night out with a DJ set that kept the crowd grooving until the festival closed.

Highlights from Sunday: included Destiny Rogers; fresh off a tour with Madison Beer, Destiny played new music from her recently released album, 'Still Your Girl'. Trixie Mattel performed a DJ set and brought the Solid Pink Disco to WeHo with 45-minutes of mixing and trying to tame her gigantic blonde wig. Followed by rising-star Vincint, who had no problem letting the crowd know his mic was ON and the vocals were on point! On the SUMMERTRAMP Stage, MOTHER of House music Crystal Waters played a quick 15-minute set of house classics that have been sampled DOWN by so many other artists and DJs. Closing out Sunday night, Australian Queen of Pop Kylie Minogue let the gays HAVE IT! She debuted new music featuring Diplo and Orville Peck, and played the hits like 'Can't Get You Out of My Head' and 'Padam Padam'.
