Kylie Minogue, Janelle Monáe, and Diplo are scheduled to headline the Outloud Music Festival at WeHo Pride in June, organizers announced Wednesday.

But organizers didn’t say who will perform June 1 and who will play on June 2. In other words, it’s a slow roll out to keep audiences waiting.

Monáe was a WeHo Pride Parade grand marshal in 2022.

The full lineup for the weekend outdoor event includes Doechii, Ashnikko, Noah Cyrus, a DJ set from Trixie Mattel, Keke Palmer, Channel Tres, Yaeji, Big Freedia, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Vincint, as well as emerging artists Snow Wife, Destiny Rogers, Black Polish, Salina EsTitties, Doug Locke, Jimi The Kween, and Zee Machine.

“We created Outloud as an incubator to support emerging queer artists who gain invaluable exposure alongside some of the most iconic names in music,” Jeff Consoletti, Outloud CEO-producer, said in a statement. 

Outloud will have a second dance music stage in partnership with Summertramp. That lineup will be announced later, organizers said.

Outloud also is scheduled for May 31, which is a free night, but, again, those details have not yet been released.

Outloud, which started as a part of WeHo Pride in 2022, will take place in West Hollywood Park. On June 1 and 2, it will be open from 1 p.m. to midnight.

Outloud tickets will go on sale Friday at 10 a.m., starting at $139 plus service fees for weekend general admission.

Single day tickets will be available for purchase later, organizers said.

VIP tickets for the weekend will be $249 plus service fees.

WeHo Pride is scheduled to take place from May 31 to June 2.

Previous Outloud performers have included Grace Jones, Adam Lambert, Carly Rae Jepsen, Years & Years, Jessie J, Lil’ Kim, Idina Menzel, Jessie Ware, and Hayley Kiyoko.
