Icona Pop, Martha Wash, Taylor Dayne Among STL PrideFest Headliners

ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Pride St. Louis announced, on Tuesday, the headlining acts that will appear on the Stonewall Main Stage Presented by Bayer at the 40th Anniversary St. Louis LGBTQIA+ PrideFest, June 29-30, 2019.

On Saturday, June 29, CHEL kicks off PrideFest's headlining performances. The songstress brings an empowered female perspective, positive mindset, and a whole lot of raw attitude with her indie-soul spirit threading through her pop music. She will be followed by pop break-out star, Dinah Jane, formally of Fifth Harmony, presented by HOT104.1. Closing out PrideFest Saturday with their disco, glitter, pop, power and Rock’n Roll chart topping hits is Icona Pop.



On Sunday, June 30, PrideFest continues with St. Louis’s own energetic cover band All Mixed Up. Next up, Brian Justin Crum will entertain audiences fresh off of America’s Got Talent, The Champions Season. Following Brian, the dance legend herself, the original Weathergirl, Martha Wash holds court. Martha was the first national headliner to ever perform at St. Louis PrideFest back in 1997. Indeed, the diva's voice has dominated the airwaves for generations, and her charisma and spirit has embraced millions of people the world over. Martha is responsible for some of the top-selling, most recognizable dance hits of the 80s and 90s. Closing out 40 Years of Pride is American pop icon Taylor Dayne. With a career spanning three decades, Taylor’s groundbreaking debut single “Tell It To My Heart” turned her into an overnight international star in 1987. She's since followed the smash hit with seventeen Top 20 singles over the course of a career still going strong.



The 40th Anniversary St. Louis PrideFest will be held the weekend of June 29-30, 2019 in downtown St Louis. Past attendance has seen over 200,000 people in Soldier's Memorial Park and at Sunday's annual Pride Parade presented by MasterCard (on Market Street from 8th to Union Station at 12 noon).
