White Party Palm Springs, the iconic LGBTQ+ dance music festival is set to return to the desert May 12-14, 2023. Attracting thousands of attendees from around the world, this annual event has become a cornerstone of the LGBTQ+ community. This year’s White Party promises a fresh, innovative, and modern festival experience, boasting a lineup of top-tier talent and entertainment, including world-renowned DJs, and live performances.
This year’s White Party will feature a star-studded lineup including trailblazing queer performer, VINCINT, who will bring his powerhouse voice, infectious energy, and chart-topping hits to Friday night’s FLUIDITY event. World-renowned producer, promoter, and performer, CircuitMOM will bring her opulent, Broadway-style production to Sunday’s SOAKED! Pool Party with ‘the cool MOM pool party takeover.’
Sunday’s world-famous ‘ORBIT’ T-Dance lineup includes some of the biggest names in dance music. Robin S will take the stage with her heartfelt anthems “Show Me Love” and “Luv 4 Luv,” which celebrate self-love and unity. CeCe Peniston, known for charming hits like “Finally” and “We Got a Love Thang,” will dazzle audiences with her melodious harmonies. Inaya Day, named one of Billboard Magazine’s “Greatest of All Time Club/Dance Artists,” will bring her incredible talent to the stage. Last but certainly not least, Crystal Waters, known for enduring anthems like “Gypsy Woman (She’s Homeless)” and “100% ‘Pure Love,” is sure to keep attendees dancing all night long.
“It’s wonderful to see the younger audience being introduced to House Music,” said Robin S. “For the dance and house fans it’s never stopped being popular but to see it cross the Pop Charts with artists like Drake and Beyoncé being inspired by “Show Me Love” has been a blessing.”
“As a person who was told dance music wasn’t real music, that it was just a fad, I’m very happy to see it alive and well after 30 years,” said Crystal Waters. “There’s a real, new culture and community around House music. And of course when the Queen, Beyonce, crowned it with “Break My Soul”, there was no turning back. As for my performance let’s just say there will be lots of surprises.”
Friday night’s FLUIDITY event will feature dazzling ballroom battles, drag performances, an appearance by the Legendary Kevin Aviance, and house beats by DJs Dan Slater (Australia) and Tom Stephan (U.K.). Saturday night’s WHITEOUT will transform the Palm Springs Convention Center into a winter wonderland, offering state-of-the-art staging, sound, lighting, and beats by DJs Shane Marcus (USA), Mor Avrahami (Israel), and GSP (Greece).
Sunday’s ORBIT T-Dance event will feature a first with DJs Dawna Montell, Manny Lehman, and Tony Moran spinning for the first time ever. They will guide attendees through time and space, culminating in an epic fireworks and video display under the warm, desert sky.
The weekend culminates in a high-energy climax with ESCAPE, the closing party on Sunday night with DJs Phil Romano (Italy) and Micky Friedmann (Germany) taking the reins.
