COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Tinashe, Rebecca Black and drag queens from “RuPaul’s Drag Race” are among the artists taking the stage for a music festival coming to Columbus during LGBTQ+ Pride weekend.
The All Out Music Festival is hosting Tinashe and Black in Columbus on June 14 at Kemba Live, alongside Betty Who, Vincint, Molly Grace, DJ Jaesyun, Kaleena Zanders. Former Drag Race contestants Crystal Envy and Luxx Noir London will also perform.
In its fourth year and previously known as Pride on the Shore, All Out said it “commits to booking a diverse, inclusive, predominantly LGBTQ+ lineup but also welcomes allied artists who are strong, supportive, vocal community advocates.” The festival’s Pittsburgh stop last year included a headlining performance by Chappell Roan as part of her “The Midwest Princess Tour.”
“I’m proud of the festival and brand we’ve built over the last few years and can’t wait to bring it to Columbus,” founder Nick Staples said. “A festival of this magnitude takes an incredible amount of hands to get across the finish line, and I’m looking forward to the community experiencing all we have planned.”
Nina West, the Columbus drag queen who competed on “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” last summer, is set to host All Out. As part of West’s “continued commitment to giving back to the community,” the festival said a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Nina West Foundation, a lifeline for local nonprofits serving LGBTQ+ youth in Columbus.
To fill out the rest of the lineup, the festival is highlighting several Columbus-based drag queens, including Blonde Vanity, Cloe Angel, Maya Bizness and The Girl Named Jack.
Each artist’s performance time will be released at a later date, the festival said. General-admission tickets are on sale for $59.50, while VIP tickets are available for $89.50 and include front-of-stage viewing, express entry, and free water stations. Accessible seating for attendees with disability and their companions can be purchased for $59.50.
