Thank you for your interest in performing at the 2026 Lexington Pride Festival! This form should be used for all acts - drag, bands, or other performers.
We strive to fit in as many performers as we can, but space is limited! Please submit your performance request and you will be contacted if selected and given a performance time.
Performers are required to provide the song they are choosing to perform. MP3 file must be submitted with the application in order to be considered for a performance slot. Drag performers should submit MP3 files of their songs. Bands or other performers are not required to submit MP3 files.
Drag performers will be able to perform two times during a show set. Please limit your songs to no longer than four minutes. Bands will perform for 30 to 45 minutes during a set. These times are flexible depending on how many performers sign up.
The Lexington Pride Festival is a family friendly event and any performances should be appropriate for all audiences. If your song would not be able to be played on the radio, you will not be able to perform it during the festival. Please submit the "clean" version of any song when signing up.
Payment for performances will be issued via check. Checks may be picked up the day of the Pride Festival following your performance or will be mailed to you following the Pride Festival. Our plan is a base pay of $60 per act, however, we cannot guarantee this amount and it may change depending on the number of sponsors, vendors, and other costs.
The Lexington Pride Festival reserves the right to refuse a song choice should it be deemed appropriate.
