Cynthia Erivo is ready to celebrate Pride Month. Rolling Stone can exclusively announce that the Tony Award-winning actress and performer will headline the Stonewall Day 2024 benefit concert at Hudson Yards on June 28.
“Stonewall Day is such a meaningful Pride celebration. Music and dance brought the community together in 1969, through the joy and the pain,” she tells Rolling Stone. “We carry on that tradition during Pride, and I am honored to commemorate Stonewall’s powerful legacy and our hard-fought freedoms.”

The event will feature appearances from Lina Bradford as the show’s resident DJ, before performances from Eurovision winner Conchita Wurst, pop trio Betty, and singer-songwriter Loren Allred. The concert is set to be hosted by E! News’ Justin Sylvester and will include additional performances, set to be announced in the coming weeks.
The concert will benefit the Stonewall National Monument Visitor Center, set to open just hours before the show to celebrate the 55th anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion.
“It really comes full circle on why we are coming together at Stonewall Day: to commemorate the legacy of Stonewall, to celebrate the joy of the LGBTQ community, and to call on all generations to fight for full equality for all,” adds Erivo. “I’m excited to give the audience an amazing show.”
Last year, Christina Aguilera headlined the annual festivities, while Kesha performed the year prior.
