WorldPride Amsterdam announces performances by international stars Billy Porter, Beth Ditto and Olly Alexander
The line-ups for the three major concert nights during WorldPride Amsterdam at Museumplein have now been confirmed
WorldPride Amsterdam runs from 25 July to 8 August and within its extensive programme are three evenings of music at the city’s iconic park, Museumplein. The concert series brings together artists from a wide range of genres and backgrounds, each contributing in their own unique way to the message of WorldPride: a world where everyone is free to be themselves.
International line-up
The Unity Concert kicks things off on Tuesday 4 August with featuring performances by Beth Ditto (The Gossip), Billy Porter (Pose), Gustaph, and many other Dutch and international artists, accompanied by the New Amsterdam Orchestra.
On Thursday 6 August, Museumplein transforms into one giant dance floor during the Wedding Party XXL. With techno sensation KI/KI, queer icons Bimini and Billy Porter, and the legendary Vengaboys, the evening promises to be filled with energy, love and celebration.
The official closing of WorldPride Amsterdam takes place on Saturday 8 August with the Closing Concert. Olly Alexander (Years & Years), The Blessed Madonna and Lion Babe, among many others, will take to the stage for a spectacular finale to two unforgettable weeks of WorldPride Amsterdam.
Hosts
The three concert evenings will also be hosted by well-known personalities from the Dutch and international queer community.
The Unity Concert on Tuesday will be hosted by Conchita Wurst and Envy Peru. On Thursday, Jurre Geluk and Sylvana Simons will guide audiences through the Wedding Party XXL. The Closing Concert on Saturday will be hosted by Amber Vineyard and Janey Jacke, who will lead the celebrations as WorldPride Amsterdam comes to a festive close.
