The iconic queer women’s festival, The Dinah, is pulling out all the stops to celebrate legendary founder Mariah Hanson’s last festival at the helm. With a newly announced star-studded entertainment lineup including Kate Moennig and Leisha Hailey, Princess Nokia, Crystal Waters, and more, this year’s festival is surely one you won’t want to miss.
Joining guests in the Palm Springs retreat this year will be none other than L Word icons Kate Moennig and Leisha Hailey. This isn’t their first trip to The Dinah, having become very familiar with the festival throughout the years. But, alongside 150 available signed copies of their new book, the L Word legends will be making an unexpected, very special, super secret appearance that promises to shock. “You’ll have to be there to find out – but it promises to be one of the most unforgettable moments of the weekend reminding us all of the powerful legacy and enduring love that The Dinah has inspired,” teased The Dinah in a statement.
New York rap star Princess Nokia is making her return to The Dinah stage as a headliner on Friday night. On the heels of her highly anticipated album Girls, Princess Nokia’s infectious energy, addictive beats, and commanding presence will surely bring the house down.
The festival will transform into a ’90s club when Crystal Waters, a club classic performer, takes the stage on Saturday night. With infectious club hits “Gypsy Woman (She’s Homeless)” and “100% Pure Love,” festival-goers won’t be able to get off the dance floor.
Xana and Mariah Counts will both be making their highly-requested return to The Dinah stage to rock the pool parties with their undeniable stage presence and unique artistry. Breakthrough artists Nikki Holland, Icey.Xo, Velvet Dive, and Only1 Theory will make their Dinah debut and give festival-goers bragging rights when they inevitably blow up among gen pop.
Longtime host Rose Garcia will return, joined by Kaycee Clark, star of Big Brother. A stacked lineup of queer DJs—DJ P. Nasty, DJ Les Ortiz, DJ Lotus Banks, DJ KG Fresh, DJ Tatiana, and DJ Alex D—will keep the party going all weekend long.
With a lineup honoring the past and future of The Dinah, this year will certainly be a fitting farewell to the iconic legacy Mariah Hanson will leave behind.
