Chairlift co-founder Caroline Polachek will also perform at the Brooklyn Mirage on September 11, with other LGBTS artists and allies set to take the stage, including Drag Race season 10 winner Aquaria, Skin, Nina Sky (Nicole and Natalie Albino), La Goony Chonga and more.

LadyLand 2021 will be Aguilera’s first performance in New York City since her headlining shows at Radio City Music Hall in 2018 for her Liberation World Tour.

The star recently made her return to performing live following the pandemic with two shows at the Hollywood Bowl, wherein she reinvented many of her biggest hits with the Los Angeles Philharmonic.

“It was a performance of a lifetime,” she told Billboard of the shows. “It was the performance I waited my whole life to do for so many creative purposes.”

The annual festival, curated by New York nightlife icon Ladyfag, returns for the first time since 2019, where Russian feminist collective Pussy Riot offered up a rare headlining set, accompanied by performances from stars like DJ Honey Dijon, Drag Race season 11 winner Yvie Oddly and more.

This year’s festival will require all attendees to provide proof of full vaccination completed at least two weeks before the event.

LadyLand 2021 will take place at the Brooklyn Mirage on September 11, from 7:30 pm to 4:00 am.

Nina Sky’s debut single “Move Ya Body“, released from their self-titled debut album in 2004, was a success, reaching No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. Their second album Nicole & Natalie was released on July 31, 2012. Their third studio album Brightest Gold was announced for release later this year through Tommy Boy Entertainment.

Set for July 8-10 in New York City, the festival will also include appearances by Princess Nokia, Sango, Maluca, Los Rakas and Tito Puente Jr.

Organizers describe the festival, now in its fourth year, as “a networking space to pay tribute to the African roots of people from Latin America and the Caribbean,” with documentaries and a series of talks on the program as well as music.

The festival takes place at Schomberg Center for Research in Black Culture and S.O.B.’s in Manhattan, and Bed-Stuy Restoration Plaza and C’Mon Everybody in Brooklyn.
