Kesha will be joined at the annual event by fellow performers Shea Diamond, Mila Jam, and queer indie pop band Betty. The event will also see video messages sent in by former President Barack Obama, Chelsea Clinton, Adam Lambert, Rufus Wainwright, Billy Porter, Conchita Wurst, Tom Daley, Dustin Lance Black, and Duncan Crabtree-Ireland.
“I am so honored to be a part of this historic event. As a forever advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, I’m excited to embark on this monumental occasion with my friends at Pride Live and perform for Stonewall Day,” Kesha said in a statement of her upcoming performance. “Stonewall is a special place for the queer community and I cannot wait to honor and celebrate how far we have come while standing in the conviction that the fight for equality in this country is ever upon us, and I will never back down. Come dance with me!”
Kesha joins a series of superstars who have headlined Stonewall Day in years past, including Lambert, Lady Gaga, Madonna and Alicia Keys. The concert will stream from 1 to 3 p.m. ET on the Pride Live YouTube channel on Friday, June 24.
