Ariana Grande to Headline NYC Pride Dance on the Pier

NYC Pride announced today that Ariana Grande will be the headliner at its 29th Dance on the Pier on Sunday, June 28 on Hudson River Park's Pier 26 in Tribeca. Grande joins legends including Cher, Whitney Houston, Jennifer Lopez, and Janet Jackson, all of whom have delivered unforgettable performances at the largest party of NYC Pride Week.

"We are delighted to welcome Ariana Grande to one of the world's top-tier LGBT events," said Jos� Ramos, Dance Director. "Dance on the Pier is a highly-anticipated part of Pride, thanks in part to amazing DJs and incredible performers. This year will be no different."

Before Grande takes the stage, nearly 10,000 attendees will dance to the beats of award-winning DJs Ralphi Rosario, The Cube Guys, and Wayne G. This year's event will once again close with a fabulous fireworks display by Pyro Engineering, Inc.

Dance on the Pier is NYC Pride's largest fundraiser. Proceeds support NYC Pride's annual events-including the historic Rally and March-and allow the organization to provide more than $45,000 in grants to local LGBT community groups each year.

Limited VIP tickets and packages are still available. Attendees can max out their Pride experience by purchasing a bundle that includes tickets to NYC Pride's Fantasy and VIP Rooftop Party events.
