Maren Morris to Headline Free WeHo Pride Concert on May 30

WeHo kicks off Pride Weekend with Friday Night at OUTLOUD

Grammy Award-winning artist Maren Morris will headline WeHo Pride Presents Friday Night at OUTLOUD, a free outdoor concert kicking off West Hollywood’s Pride weekend on Friday, May 30, 2025, at West Hollywood Park.

Presented by the City of West Hollywood, the concert will begin at 6 p.m. and feature an energetic mix of performers, including Qveen Herby, Jamie Fine, and Venessa Michaels with special guest Kaleena Zanders. The evening also includes the return of the fan-favorite Drag Queen Lip Sync Battle Royale, featuring yet-to-be-announced queens and special guest Official Bruno.

Friday’s concert serves as the official start to WeHo Pride Weekend, leading into a two-day lineup of festivities across the city. The concert is free to the public, but guests must RSVP due to limited capacity. Registration opens Friday, May 16, at 10:00 a.m. PDT at outloudmusicfestival.com.

Mayor Chelsea Lee Byers emphasized the importance of inclusive celebration in a time of growing challenges for LGBTQ+ communities nationwide. “Hosting Friday Night at OUTLOUD with free tickets is more than symbolic — it’s a declaration that equality and inclusion matter,” said Byers. “In West Hollywood, we celebrate queer lives and artists proudly and unapologetically.”

The OUTLOUD Music Festival continues Saturday and Sunday, May 31 and June 1, with ticketed performances by major LGBTQ+ and allied artists including Lizzo, Remi Wolf, Kim Petras, Paris Hilton, and Honey Dijon. Additional acts across multiple stages include Pabllo Vittar, Shygirl Presents: Club Shy, Rebecca Black, Empress Of, and Horse Meat Disco.

The broader WeHo Pride programming also includes:

  • WeHo Pride Street Fair (May 31–June 1) featuring entertainment, vendors, and community booths
  • Women’s Freedom Festival and Dyke March on Saturday, May 31
  • The WeHo Pride Parade on Sunday, June 1

Friday’s kickoff event is open to all ages and is part of West Hollywood’s longstanding commitment to LGBTQ+ visibility, creative expression, and community celebration.
