With COVID-19 still a major factor around the US and world, Procter & Gamble and iHeartMedia announced that they will present Can’t Cancel Pride virtually for the second year in a row.
On June 4, the event will kick off Pride Month through iHeartRadio’s TikTok, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram TV pages, as well as PrideRadio.com, Revry and iHeartMedia’s radio stations and app. And this lineup is insane.
Demi Lovato – who just came out as nonbinary this week – will be performing alongside “Montero” chart-topper Lil Nas X, Latin music LGBTQ+ trailblazer Ricky Martin, pop star/actress Hayley Kiyoko and EDM superstar Marshmello.
Troye Sivan and Tate McRae will join producer Regard to perform their #1 single “You,” while JoJo Siwa and T.J. Osborne of Grammy-nominated country duo Brothers Osborne will both speak about their recent coming out stories.
The event will be cohosted by Bebe Rexha and Elvis Duran, and feature prominent voices like P!NK, Jennifer Hudson and Busy Philipps alongside LGBTQ+ personalities like Olympian Gus Kenworthy, RuPaul’s Drag Race star Nina West and POSE star Mj Rodriguez.
We are already out of breath just reading that list! This show is going to be amazing and represents how much iHeartMedia cares about the LGBTQ+ community letting their voices be heard even during this national pandemic.
“Can’t Cancel Pride is about creating visibility for the LGBTQ+ community and showing them they are not alone,” said Marc Pritchard, Chief Brand Officer, P&G. “The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic remains heightened for LGBTQ+ people, who continue to face issues driven by persistent bias, intolerance and inequality. We want to use our voice to help bring much needed resources, support, acts of good, and love to this remarkable and resilient community.”
Money raised throughout the benefit will go to organizations like GLAAD, SAGE, The Trevor Project, the National Black Justice Coalition, CenterLink and OutRight Action International.
