Cyndi Lauper To Perform At We Party Pride Festival Main Event On June 29
Additional Performances by Chris Grant and the Cast of STOMP
New York, NY (May 6, 2019) – In celebration of the 50th anniversary of Stonewall, Cyndi Lauper will premiere an electrifying and iconic live performance at the We Party PRIDE FESTIVAL presented by ABSOLUT Main Event at Javits Center on Sat- urday, June 29 during WorldPride. Produced by Jake Resnicow, the WE Party PRIDE FESTIVAL presented by ABSOLUT will be the biggest Pride charity event in history and will also feature an opening dance act by Beyonce’s choreographer Chris Grant and a very special percussion, movement and visual comedy performance by the theatrical phenomenon STOMP, celebrating its 25thth year at NYC’s Orpheum Theatre.
“The 50th anniversary of Stonewall will bring millions of people from all over the world to New York this Pride,” explains Jake Resnicow, recently named “Most Influential Person of the Year” by Out Magazine. “This will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to celebrate our progress while working towards a better future. It will allow everyone to come together on one dance floor, in the city that started it all.”
The We Party PRIDE FESTIVAL presented by ABSOLUT Main Event will bring the en- tire LGBTQ community and its allies under one spectacular roof and on one enor- mous dance floor at New York's largest and most prestigious venue, the Jacob Javits Center. Located in the heart of Manhattan, the Jacob Javits Center is a mammoth 1,800,000 square feet, covering the entire city blocks between 34th and 40th Streets, 11th and 12th Avenues. It offers, by far, the largest capacity of all Pride venues.
World-renowned designer, Steve Lieberman, the foremost expert behind such music festivals as Electric Daisy Carnival, Ultra Music Festival and Coachella, has been tapped to oversee production. Sound will be by Jason Ojeda.
All net proceeds will benefit prominent LGBTQ charities, including the Stonewall Gives Back Initiative and LIFEBeat, an organization that harnesses the power of the music and entertainment industry to advocate for sex health awareness and safety, providing those most at-risk with vital information about gender, sexuality, consent, prevention and support services.
