The Pacific Northwest's largest 21+ music and arts Pride festival has announced its summer 2023 lineup and tickets go live on Weds., March 8, at noon.
Running June 23-25, 2023, in the heart of Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood, Queer/Pride Festival (QPF), features national and hyper-local artists, musicians, drag queens, and burlesque dancers.
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.)
TICKETS
QPF is presented by Joey Burgess and Murf Hall of Burgess/Hall, husbands, business partners, and owners of many of Capitol Hill's most recognized businesses, including Elliott Bay Book Co., Oddfellows/Little Oddfellows, and Queer/Bar, and Cuff Complex.
"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."
