The WorldPride Music Festival will take place over two days and across three stages, representing a range of genres including pop, house, drag, EDM, techno, and more.

Produced by Dreamland’s Jake Resnicow, named one of OUT100’s Most Influential LGBTQ People of the Year, in partnership with Capital Pride and Club Glow, the East Coast’s longest-running electronic music promoter, the WorldPride Music Festival represents a watershed moment for LGBTQ+ culture and music.

“WorldPride Music Festival is a moment the world will remember,” festival executive producer Jake Resnico said. 

“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. Hosting this festival in our nation’s capital makes it even more powerful — it’s not just a party, it’s a global movement.”

Washington D.C.’s edition holds special significance, marking both the 50th anniversary of Pride in the capital and highlighting the city’s role as a catalyst for political activism and social change.

Beyond the music, the festival will feature cutting-edge art installations and immersive experiences that celebrate the vibrant spectrum of LGBTQ+ culture. Proceeds from the event will benefit the non-profit Capital Pride Alliance and other local LGBTQ+ community organizations, ensuring the festival’s impact extends beyond its two days of programming.
