While Mariah Carey and Megan Thee Stallion will be headlining pride over on the west coast, pop legend and seven-time Grammy award winner Christina Aguilera, who just won herself a Advocate For Change award at the GLAAD Media awards in April will be headlining pride on the east coast.
This year’s Pride Island has a new home. After Kim Petras’ headlining set on Governor’s Island last year, 2023’s Pride Island will now take place at the Brooklyn Army Terminal in Sunset Park, a modern manufacturing campus in Brooklyn that also hosts cultural events.
Pride Island caps off the excitement of Pride Week.
“I couldn’t be more excited to headline NYC Pride’s iconic Pride Island,” Aguilera said in a statement of the upcoming show. “I’m always ready to celebrate the strength and resilience of all the individual members of the LGBTQIA+ community and their allies by dedicating this performance to our combined power when we act and work in solidarity.”
Aguilera has achieved five No. 1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 chart making her the third female artist, and fourth overall, to top the chart over three consecutive decades.
In 2021 she received the inaugural Music Icon Award at the People's Choice Awards, followed by the Spirit of Hope Award at the 2022 Billboard Latin Music Awards and the Advocate for Change Award at the 2023 GLAAD Media Awards.
