It’s a Pride-ful moment for Jennifer Lopez…
The 55-year-old Puerto Rican superstar will perform at this year’s WorldPride, which returns to the United States for the first time since 2019.
Lopez will co-headline the event alongside Troye Sivan for the Washington, D.C.-bound festival.
Taking place on June 6 and 7 at the RFK Festival Grounds, the WorldPride Music Festival is also set to feature breakout performances from stars including Raye, Tinashe, Kim Petras, Rita Ora, RuPaul, Galantis, Grimes, Marina and more.
In a statement released with the news, the festival’s executive producer Jake Resnicow said that the semi-annual event promised to be “a moment the world will remember” thanks to their roster of artists. “With legendary artists and our global community coming together, we’re creating an electrifying celebration that unites, uplifts, and amplifies LGBTQ+ voices like never before,” he said. “Hosting this festival in our nation’s capital makes it even more powerful — it’s not just a party, it’s a global movement.”
J..Lo comes to the festival just one year after she canceled her own This Is Me … Live Tour just one month before it was set to begin in May 2024.
“I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down,” she wrote at the time. “Please know that I wouldn’t do this if I didn’t feel that it was absolutely necessary. I promise I will make it up to you and we will all be together again.”
Sivan, meanwhile, is coming off a huge 2024, where he toured the U.S. with breakout superstar Charli XCX on their co-headlining, sold-out Sweat Tour. The “Rush” singer was also teased as a special guest for Charli’s headlining set at Primavera Sound in Barcelona on June 5, just one day before the 2025 WorldPride Festival begins.
Tickets for 2025’s WorldPride Music Festival go on-sale Friday, February 21 on WorldPride’s website.
