The Dodgers will conduct their 12th annual LGBTQ+ Pride Night on Friday, including a party in the Centerfield Plaza, musical performances, a kickball game and “Vogue Off” drag dance competition.
The party will begin at 5:10 p.m. with DJ Brizzle, a queer DJ playing a mix of beats and genres, and continue until the first pitch of the game against the San Francisco Giants. It is produced by the Christopher Street West Association, which also produces the LA Pride Parade & Festival.
Australian singer, drummer and producer G Flip will be the headlining performer on the Centerfield Plaza stage, three days after the release of their latest song “Big Ol’ Hammer,” which they called “Probably the queerest song I’ve ever written.”
Chrishell Stause, a cast member of the Netflix alternative real estate series “Selling Sunset” who is married to G Flip, will be among the judges for the “Vogue Off.”
A kickball game will begin at approximately 5:30 p.m. in Dodger Stadium’s outfield.
The ceremonial first pitch will be thrown by English Olympic gold medal-winning diver Tom Daley. Special guests will include Daley’s husband, Dustin Lance Black, who won the best original screenplay Oscar for “Milk” in 2009; singer Lance Bass and Jai Rodriguez, a cast member on the 2003-07 Bravo makeover series, “Queer Eye.”
The pop singer MARIS will sing the national anthem.
A Pride Night drone performance will follow the game.
