For the first time ever, Washington, DC, is hosting WorldPride. WorldPride is an international LGBTQ+ celebration that occurs in different cities every two years. WorldPride promotes visibility and awareness of the LGBTQ+ community on a global scale. This year, DC is being blessed with a beautiful lineup of 39 artists and celebrities, ranging from Paris Hilton to Troye Sivan. With all these performers, it’s hard to decide who to get the most excited about. But don’t worry, because we’re here to tell you the five artists who we think are going to bring the biggest bang.
First up is Troye Sivan. Sivan is easily one of the most iconic LGBTQ+ singers. Recently coming off the SWEAT tour with Charli XCX, Sivan is guaranteed to do his big one. Who knows? He might bring out a surprise to top his recent iconic concerts with Charli.
Second, we have our queen, Trisha Paytas. After seeing The Eras of Trish Tour, there is no question that her performance won’t be over the top in all the best ways. From her iconic Lady Gaga tributes to her original music like Gay Music Video, she is sure to bring a chaotic, rhinestone-filled spectacle.
Third, there is the actual queen herself, Ms. RuPaul. From a drag race to a concert, RuPaul rules the stage and will undoubtedly bring the absolute energy to WorldPride. With the presence of RuPaul, WorldPride is assured to have the energy it needs to take over the city.
Fourth, following the queen of drag, we have the princess, Sasha Colby. Colby was a cast member of season 15 of RuPaul’s Drag Race. For anyone who doesn’t know, she was the winner of her season and sashayed her way to victory throughout the show. Being the icon she is, it’s obvious she’ll get the crowd going wild at WorldPride.
Fifth, with the attendance of the queer icon Kim Petras, WorldPride is surely going to be…Unholy. Petras has repeatedly set examples for trans artists that success is truly possible in the music industry, and will certainly bring out the T energy in LGBTQ+.
Sixth, to bring a socialite perspective to the festival, Ms. Paris Hilton will be in attendance to ensure that the LGBTQ+ community at WorldPride gets a taste of American personality in its truest form. Hilton will surely bring attention, social media presence, and icon energy to the festival.
The final artist on the list, per his closing of the festival, Zedd is going to bring WorldPride to an electric end. How else could WorldPride end in the gayest city in the United States without an electronic EDM exit? It’s safe to say that the DJ will close out WorldPride with enough energy to leave a mark as one of the most iconic performances of the festival.
Overall, WorldPride in DC is sure to bring an electric energy to the city and leave a mark on the bi-annual festival as one of the greatest of the extravaganzas to occur in the history of WorldPride.•
