The global pop resurgence currently sweeping music will find one of its most vibrant stages this summer in West Hollywood.

From June 5–7, the OUTLOUD Music Festival at WeHo Pride returns to West Hollywood Park with what may be its biggest lineup yet—led by a headline performance from The Pussycat Dolls, plus chart-topping artists JADE and Ava Max.

The performance carries special meaning for the group. Their appearance will mark the only Pride show and the only Los Angeles stop on their newly announced PCD FOREVER global tour. The tour celebrates the 20th anniversary of their debut album PCD, which produced some of the most recognizable pop singles of the 2000s, including “Don’t Cha,” “Buttons,” and “Stickwitu.”

“Our LGBTQ+ fans have been the most passionate since the very beginning. To headline OUTLOUD Music Festival at WeHo Pride and make it our Los Angeles stop on tour feels incredibly special,” said Nicole Scherzinger, Kimberly Wyatt and Ashley Roberts in a statement. “The City of West Hollywood is an iconic destination for queer culture, and we’re so excited to celebrate a community that has always celebrated us.”

The reunion brings Scherzinger, Wyatt, and Roberts back together for what will be their largest international tour in years. Promoted by Live Nation, the 53-date run will travel across North America, Europe, and the United Kingdom beginning in June, with select dates featuring special guests Lil’ Kim and Mýa. Melody Thornton, Carmit Bachar and Jessica Sutta were reportedly not asked to be a part of the reunion tour.

The tour also arrives alongside new music. Their latest single, “Club Song,” marks the group’s first recording since 2019’s “React,” signaling a new chapter as the now trio reintroduces their signature choreography and high-energy performances to a global audience.

A Festival at the Center of Pride

Produced by events and entertainment agency JJLA, OUTLOUD has grown rapidly into one of the most influential LGBTQ+ music platforms in the United States. What began as a digital series in 2020 has evolved into a major live event that now anchors the City of West Hollywood’s WeHo Pride celebrations each June.

“We’re in the middle of a global pop girl renaissance, and OUTLOUD stands at the center of it all,” said Jeff Consoletti, Founder and Executive Producer of OUTLOUD. “With The Pussycat Dolls headlining alongside JADE and Ava Max, this lineup captures where music and culture are right now. It speaks to the cultural power of this community and the global impact the OUTLOUD stage has built.”

OUTLOUD has become known for blending global pop icons with emerging LGBTQ+ talent, creating a platform designed to amplify queer artists and allies alike. Past performers have included Kylie Minogue, Lizzo, Janelle Monáe, Orville Peck, Carly Rae Jepsen, Adam Lambert, and Kim Petras.

Three Days of Music and Community

This year’s three-day festival will feature an eclectic lineup spanning pop, dance, and queer club culture. In addition to the headliners, performers include Ashlee Simpson, Confidence Man, FLO, Melanie C with a live DJ set, Blue Man Group, Destin Conrad, Hercules & Love Affair, Baby Tate, MNEK, Daya, Countess Luann, Isabella Lovestory, and many more.

A City That Defines Pride

For West Hollywood, Pride is more than a celebration—it’s a reflection of the city’s long-standing role in LGBTQ+ advocacy and cultural visibility.

“West Hollywood has long stood at the forefront of LGBTQ+ visibility and celebration, and WeHo Pride reflects the heart of our community,” said John Heilman, Mayor of West Hollywood. “Welcoming the OUTLOUD Music Festival back to West Hollywood Park, with a global lineup reinforces our city’s role as an international destination for Pride. WeHo Pride weekend brings visitors from around the world together to celebrate equality, resilience, and joy.”

More than 40 percent of West Hollywood residents identify as LGBTQ+, and the city’s Rainbow District along Santa Monica Boulevard remains one of the most historic centers of queer nightlife in the United States.

Ava Max is one of the headliners at OUTLOUD at WeHo Pride June 5-7.

For the Pussycat Dolls, the West Hollywood performance will serve as one of the first major stops on their international return to the stage—launching a summer that will carry the group across dozens of cities worldwide.

But for Pride audiences, the significance of the moment goes beyond a tour stop. Two decades after their debut reshaped the sound and spectacle of pop music, the group returns to a stage where celebration, community, and culture meet in full voice.
