“From California to Kentucky and Tennessee, Slay Ride will remind audiences that queer joy belongs everywhere — even in states where our visibility is being challenged,” said Jeff Consoletti, Founder and Executive Producer of OUTLOUD. “As we continue to grow the OUTLOUD brand, expanding into new markets allows us to uplift voices and celebrate pride in communities nationwide during one of the most special times of year.
“My return to the OUTLOUD stage is set to be bigger and jollier than ever as we turn venues across the country into safe, fabulous spaces where everyone can feel seen and celebrated,” said drag icon and OUTLOUD Music Festival alum Alyssa Edwards. “Slay Ride is our chance to love, laugh, and spread unapologetic queer joy this holiday season because nothing shines brighter than a community that comes together.”
OUTLOUD will donate $1 from every ticket sold to the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), the nation’s largest LGBTQ+ civil rights organization, as part of the brand’s continued commitment to advocate for HRC’s mission of equality for all LGBTQ+ people.
