Kim Petras to Headline LadyLand 2026 During New York City Pride Weekend

Returning to Under the K Bridge Park on June 27, the annual festival has announced a lineup led by Grammy-winning pop star Kim Petras, alongside a cross-section of artists shaping today’s queer music landscape. Romy will deliver a DJ set, while CupcakKe, Hannah Diamond, DJ Gigola, DJ Meredith Marks, Bayli, Babymorocco, Maara, OZA, Sam Quealy, The Illustrious Blacks, and more round out a bill that effortlessly moves between pop, hyperpop, electronic music, hip-hop, and club culture.

Since launching in 2018, LadyLand has grown from an ambitious nightlife experiment into one of the defining events of New York City Pride. Created by nightlife visionary Ladyfag and co-produced by The Bowery Presents, the festival has built its reputation by championing queer artists long before many mainstream festivals embraced similarly diverse lineups. Previous editions have welcomed everyone from Honey Dijon, SOPHIE, Christina Aguilera, Tinashe, Cardi B, and FKA twigs to surprise appearances from Madonna, cementing LadyLand as one of Pride Weekend’s most anticipated destinations.

This year’s lineup continues that tradition. Petras—whose euphoric dance-pop has become synonymous with queer nightlife—takes top billing, while Romy brings the emotionally rich club sensibilities that have defined both her solo work and her career with The xx. Elsewhere, Hannah Diamond’s unmistakable hyperpop universe, DJ Gigola’s Berlin club pedigree, CupcakKe’s uncompromising rap, and performances from rising artists including Bayli, Maara, OZA, and Babymorocco reflect the festival’s commitment to showcasing both established names and tomorrow’s underground favorites.

That balance has become LadyLand’s calling card. Rather than separating dance music, pop, fashion, and queer nightlife into distinct worlds, the festival brings them together in a single space—one that has become as much a cultural gathering as a music event. Billboard famously described LadyLand as “equal parts Coachella, Berlin nightclub, and queer warehouse rave,” a reputation the festival has only continued to build in recent years.

Beyond the music, LadyLand has also become an extension of Ladyfag’s broader influence on New York nightlife. The producer, known for creating parties including Holy Mountain, Battle Hymn, and 11:11, has spent nearly two decades shaping the city’s after-dark culture while producing events for some of fashion’s biggest houses. Her festival has evolved into one of the few large-scale music events where queer artists aren’t simply represented—they’re the main event.
