Bronze Avery, Figgy Baby, and Bitch to Headline Saturday at Stonewall Columbus Pride Festival

Columbus, OH — [May 21, 2025] — Stonewall Columbus is thrilled to announce the headlining performers for the 2025 Pride Saturday mainstage celebration: Bronze Avery, Figgy Baby, and Bitch. These dynamic artists will bring their energy, artistry, and powerful voices to the heart of Columbus, anchoring what promises to be an unforgettable weekend of celebration, community recognition, and honoring of LGBTQ+ history.

The Saturday program, taking place during the annual Stonewall Columbus Pride Festival & Resource Fair, is a highlight of the 2 day event and draws thousands of attendees from across the region. With this year’s theme, “United in Power,” the festival is focused on honoring the collective strength of the LGBTQ+ community while celebrating its vibrancy and resilience.

Bronze Avery, the Los Angeles-based pop singer-songwriter and producer, is known for his dreamy, genre-defying sound that blends R&B, dance, and pop influences. Since launching his artist project in 2017, Avery has cultivated a vibrant community of pop music enthusiasts, particularly within the LGBTQ+ community. His music, described as “sensual dreamscape style of Dance Pop,” often explores themes of queer identity and self-expression. Avery’s latest album, Heatwave, released on June 13, 2024, is a collection of uptempo electro-pop tracks inspired by his experiences as a queer man, aiming to create “summer songs made to make you sweat.”

Figgy Baby, an internationally touring, non-binary Mexican rapper, dancer, and community builder based in Los Angeles, is renowned for their gender-defying style, thoughtful lyricism, and high-energy stage presence. Their music explores the healing and reimagining of masculinity and manhood, creating a fluid space that recognizes identity and truth as continuously evolving aspects of life. Figgy Baby’s work has been featured on platforms such as NPR, BBC, BET, LA Times, Jubilee, and MITÚ. Notable performances include supporting Carla Morrison at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles and headlining at SchwuZ in Berlin, Germany. Their discography includes the concept album Blood from a Stone, exploring the perils of boyhood and pressures of manhood, and the 2022 release Spice Boi, a celebration of queer bangers for non-binary baddies.

Bitch, born Karen Mould, is a pioneering queer artist known for her electrifying performances and genre-defying music. With a career spanning over two decades, Bitch has been a vocal advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and visibility. Her unique blend of electric violin, synth-pop, and spoken word has captivated audiences worldwide. Her latest album, Bitchcraft, released in 2022 on Kill Rock Stars, showcases her evolution as an artist and her commitment to pushing boundaries in music and performance.

“This year’s Saturday headliners reflect the boldness, diversity, and sheer talent that define our community,” said Densil Porteous, Executive Director of Stonewall Columbus. “To see artists who are unapologetically themselves, who use their platforms to advocate, entertain, and connect—that’s exactly what Pride is about. We’re thrilled to welcome Bronze Avery, Figgy Baby, and Bitch to our main stage.”

Stonewall Columbus Pride 2025 will be held June 13 & 14, with the Saturday Festival and March expected to draw over 500,000 people to Central Ohio. Both days of the festival and resource fair are free and open to LGBTQ+ affirming community.
