Atlanta Pride, the largest free Pride festival in the United States, is proud to announce the powerhouse headliner for the 2025 Festival: hip-hop sensation Flo Milli. Additionally, critically acclaimed singer-songwriter Perfume Genius will also be performing. These artists join an already exciting entertainment lineup for a weekend of music, celebration, and community on October 11–12 in Piedmont Park.
“We are ecstatic to welcome Flo Milli and Perfume Genius for this year’s Festival,” said Chris McCain, Executive Director of Atlanta Pride. “Flo Milli’s bold, unapologetic voice and Perfume Genius’s fearless artistry perfectly reflect this year’s theme, ‘Rooted in Resistance.’ Their performances will no doubt inspire, uplift, and energize our community as we come together to celebrate Pride.”
Flo Milli, praised for her lighthearted demeanor and sharp, punch line-heavy style, skyrocketed from underground status to viral fame with her 2018 single “Beef FloMix.” She went on to release her debut mixtape Ho, Why Is You Here? in 2020, followed by her 2022 studio album You Still Here, Ho?. Her 2024 album Fine Ho, Stay debuted on the Billboard 200 and produced her first Hot 100 hit, “Never Lose Me.” A native of Mobile, Alabama, Milli has become one of hip-hop’s most dynamic new voices, blending confidence, humor, and authenticity into every track.
Perfume Genius (Mike Hadreas), known for his emotionally raw songwriting and ethereal vocals, has captivated critics and audiences alike since his 2010 debut Learning. His 2014 single “Queen” became a modern queer anthem, and his later albums — including the GRAMMY-nominated No Shape (2017) and Set My Heart On Fire Immediately (2020) — cemented his reputation as one of the most innovative artists of his generation. With performances on The Tonight Show, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Hadreas has continued to push boundaries, blending vulnerability, power, and defiance into his art.
This announcement builds on the first round of 2025 Festival entertainment, which includes Bob the Drag Queen, winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race season 8; 2AM Ricky, the groundbreaking artist and advocate who became the first Black trans man to chart in the iTunes Electronic Top 3; Bentley Robles, one of the most exciting new voices in indie pop; and Adeem the Artist, who is reimagining Southern sounds through a queer lens. Together, these performers represent the bold creativity and diverse artistry that Atlanta Pride brings to the stage each year.
The 2025 Atlanta Pride Festival will take place from October 11-12 and features live performances across multiple stages, the city’s largest parade, a marketplace of vendors and community partners, and a wide variety of activities celebrating LGBTQ+ pride and resilience.
Premium Passes that include exclusive meet-and-greet opportunities are available for purchase. Additional artists will be announced in the coming weeks.
