WHITE PARTY PALM SPRINGS DOES NOT DISAPPOINT WITH ITS STAR-STUDDED LINEUP

By Michael Westman

“White Party Palm Springs has been home to some of the most iconic performances, featuring renowned artists like Deborah Cox, Kylie Minogue, and Lady Gaga,” says Chris Diamond, Executive Producer of White Party Global. “This year, we are honored to have four legendary house divas grace our stage and create an unforgettable experience for our attendees.”

Robin S captivated the world with heartfelt anthems such as “Show Me Love” and “Luv 4 Luv,” masterfully crafting a mesmerizing collection of dance tunes that embody self-love and unity.

CeCe Peniston dazzled audiences across the globe with her melodious harmonies, transcending musical boundaries and charming listeners with unforgettable hits like “Finally” and “We Got a Love Thang.” Named one of the “Greatest of All Time Club/Dance Artists” by Billboard Magazine, International recording artist, Inaya Day delighted millions of partygoers with her soul-touching performances of club classics, including “Nasty Girl” and “Keep Pushin.” And Crystal Waters captivated generations with her iconic hits such as “Gypsy Woman (She’s Homeless)” and “100% Pure Love,” which have become enduring anthems that celebrate self-expression and liberation.

This year’s festivities promise to be grander, more daring and exude an unparalleled thrill like never seen before. Dylan Mulvaney, an actress, content creator, and advocate for transgender rights, will be honored as the 2023 ‘Queen of White Party’ at Saturday night’s WHITE OUT event. Mulvaney, who received the prestigious TikTok Trailblazer award in 2022, has not only shattered barriers but also inspired a younger generation to accept and celebrate diversity. “I am over the moon honored to be crowned the queen of White Party 2023!” said Dylan Mulvaney. “When I heard about their FLUIDITY event I was especially excited; the entire weekend is a space that can be enjoyed by all. I’m ready to dance the night away with my LGBTQ+ fam!”

Singer-songwriter and queer performer, VINCINT will bring his powerhouse voice, infectious energy, and chart-topping hits to Friday night’s FLUIDITY. Joining Friday’s lineup is The Legendary Kevin Aviance, a New York City drag queen and performance artist whose electrifying vocals on the dance hit «Cunty,» can be heard at the top of Beyonce’s hit single “Pure/ Honey.” World-renowned producer, promoter, and performer CircuitMOM will bring her opulent, Broadway-style production to Friday night›s festivities and to Sunday’s SOAKED! Pool Party with ‘the cool MOM pool party takeover.’
