Atlanta Pride has announced that drag icon Shea Couleé will join the entertainment lineup for the 2026 festival on Oct. 10 – 11.
An internationally recognized drag icon, actor, model and recording artist, Shea Couleé is known for their fashion-forward editorial looks, magnetic screen presence and unapologetic queerness. After winning season five of ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars’, Couleé expanded their influence across television, music, fashion and live performance. They became the first drag artist and one of the first non-binary actors to enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe through their role as SLUG in Marvel Studios’ ‘Ironheart’.
“Shea Couleé is a groundbreaking artist whose creativity, confidence and unapologetic celebration of queer identity perfectly embodies the spirit of Atlanta Pride,” said Chris McCain, Executive Director of Atlanta Pride. “Shea commands every stage they step onto, and we cannot wait for Atlanta to experience the energy, artistry and joy they will bring to this year’s Louder & Prouder celebration.”
Couleé joins headliner JT, Cain Culto, and Zee Machine in the 2026 Atlanta Pride entertainment lineup.
