Atlanta Pride has announced the first round of entertainment for the 2025 Pride Festival on Oct. 11 and 12 at Piedmont Park.

This year’s lineup includes Bob the Drag Queen, winner of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 8; 2AM Ricky, the first Black trans man to reach #3 on the iTunes Electronic Charts and one of the ambassadors of Atlanta’s LGBTQ+ community center; indie pop artist Bentley Robles; and folk artist Adeem the Artist.

“We’re thrilled to kick off our 2025 entertainment announcements with such a dynamic group of performers,” said Chris McCain, Executive Director of Atlanta Pride. “From chart-topping artists to boundary-breaking storytellers, these entertainers reflect tremendous talent, creativity, and perfectly capture this year’s festival theme ‘Rooted in Resistance.’ This is just the beginning, and we can’t wait to share even more talent to be announced in the weeks ahead.”

These artists and other performers, more of whom will be announced in the coming weeks, will take to two stages across Piedmont Park for a weekend filled with live music, drag, and celebration. Premium passes to Pride that include exclusive meet-and-greet opportunities with this year’s featured artists – as well as shaded seating, access to restroom trailers, private bars, complimentary snacks, phone charging stations, and more – are available for purchase here.
