OMG! Orville Peck! Peaches!! Mother Freaking CHARO To Headline Queer Bar’s Pride Festival!!!!

OH, and Pabllo Vittar and Trixie Mattel, too. And some drag queens.

That’s a lot of talent for one 3 day festival happening June 23, 24 and 25! But, it’s what we’ve come to expect from Queer Bar and its owners Joey Burgess and Murf Hall who also own/co-own a slew of other Capitol Hill businesses including The Cuff Complex, Elliott Bay Book Company, Big Little News, Oddfellows Cafe and the just recently opened cafe/lounge Gemini Room. Last year, they booked Kim Petras and Iggy Azalea who wowed sold out crowds at the street festival on 11th Avenue in front of Queer Bar over Seattle Pride Weekend 2022. And, the star power continues with Queer Pride Festival 2023.

I mean….it’s a great line-up with something for everyone. You got heart throb gay country crooner ORVILLE PECK. And, beloved dance music icon/artist/activist PEACHES. Not to mention, the truly beloved living legend that is CHARO, who has been entertaining audiences with her music, humor, and charm for over 50 years.

It really is bonkers. In a “cuchi cuchi” sort of way.

Tickets go on sale on WEDNESDAY, March 8th at 12 Noon. There are a variety of options available for passes including payment plan options for folks who need who need it. Do note that SINGLE day tickets will be released at a later date. Go to www.queerpridefestival.com to grab yours. The VIP Pass does sell out quickly.

More information below and do note that MORE information about line-ups and schedules will be announced in the weeks ahead.

ALSO note the poster down below that lists a lot more names and programs for the festival including a slew of drag queens, including several more RuPaul Drag Race stars like Sasha Colby, Luxx Noir London, and Mistress Isabelle Brooks from the current Season 15 plus stars from previous years including Heidi N Closet, LaLa Ri, and Kornbread. PLUS/PLUS dozens of local performers and showcases of popular Queer Bar recurring shows like Burleskaraoke and Bang The Gong. There’s A LOT happening over the three days of this festival.

Queer/Pride Festival (QPF), the Pacific Northwest’s largest 21+ music and arts Pride festival featuring national and hyper-local artists, musicians, drag queens, and burlesque dancers, has announced its summer 2023 lineup and ticket sales go live tomorrow, Weds., March 8, at noon.

Running June 23-25, 2023, in the heart of Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood, the standalone three-day festival sells out each summer due to its top-tier talent acts (past QPF headliners include: Grammy award-winner Kim Petras, global sensation Iggy Azalea, hip hop artist Big Freedia who was featured on Beyonce’s “Break My Soul” which took home a Grammy last month for best dance/electronic recording, and rapper Princess Nokia.)

“QPF returns this summer bigger and better than ever,” said Burgess. “We’re lighting up our stages with some of the hottest artists from around the world, and we’ve expanded our overall footprint to include a larger stage, bigger screens, and more food and beverage offerings.”
