    WorldPride Music Festival is turning up the volume in the nation’s capital with an unforgettable day-after celebration: Pier Dance at The Wharf.

    Taking place Sunday, June 8, from 2 to 10 p.m., this official day-after event promises a high-energy Pride Tea Dance featuring some of the most groundbreaking LGBTQ+ artists in electronic music.

    Set against the picturesque Southwest D.C. waterfront with sweeping views of the Washington Monument, this one-of-a-kind event is shaping up to be one of the most memorable Pride moments of the year. At the heart of the celebration is a first-ever back-to-back (B2B) DJ set from two powerhouse women in dance music: LP Giobbi and Sofi, one half of the GRAMMY-nominated duo Sofi Tukker.

    A Groundbreaking B2B Set from Icons of Inclusivity

    Both LP Giobbi and Sofi are known not only for their genre-blending sound and high-octane live performances but also for their fierce commitment to inclusivity, queer empowerment, and representation in music.

    Sofi, who forms one half of the globally recognized electronic act Sofi Tukker, has performed on some of the world’s biggest stages and amassed a massive global following with hits like “Drinkee,” “Purple Hat,” and “Best Friend.” With an unmistakable presence and unapologetically queer perspective, Sofi has become a symbol of freedom and visibility within the dance music community.

    LP Giobbi, widely celebrated as “the piano house queen,” brings her own distinct energy to the decks. As a DJ, producer, and the founder of Femme House—a nonprofit working to create equitable opportunities for women and LGBTQ+ artists in music—Giobbi has been a trailblazer both on and off the stage. Her mission to diversify the dance floor and studio has earned her accolades across the industry.

    Their upcoming B2B set at The Wharf is not only a musical first, but also a powerful statement of queer solidarity, sisterhood, and celebration.

    Viral Sensations ALTÉGO Join the Lineup

    Their mashups of nostalgic pop anthems have generated millions of views and made waves in the electronic music scene.

    Most notably, the duo’s edit of Lady Gaga’s “Abracadabra” and “Judas” was recently featured during Gaga’s headline set at Coachella, catapulting ALTÉGO further into the spotlight. Their bold remixes and on-stage chemistry have made them instant fan favorites within the LGBTQ+ music community.

    Whether they’re reimagining hits from Britney Spears and Nelly Furtado, or turning viral moments into club anthems, ALTÉGO bring an infectious, dancefloor-ready vibe that’s sure to have The Wharf pulsing with energy.

    More Than Music—A Celebration of Queer Joy

    Pier Dance at The Wharf also features celebrated local and national DJs Matt Suave and Ryan McClure, known for curating inclusive dance experiences that are equal parts euphoric and emotional.

    From 2 to 10 p.m., the event will transform 760 Maine Ave SW into a queer waterfront paradise, complete with open-air stages, stunning visuals, and a crowd ready to revel in love, music, and unity.
