‘IndieLand on Twitch’ Presents Pride 2021 Celebration

Jennifer Nettles, Brandy Clark, Jakes Shears, Pom Pom Squad, and Kat Cunning are among the artists scheduled perform this weekend on the official Twitch channel for IndieLand.

The three-day digital celebration, aligning with NYC Pride weekend, will be livestreamed from the PMC Studio in Midtown Manhattan beginning June 25th and running through June 27th. The event’s lineup will feature an array of performers and interview guests from across the LGBTQIA+ community — many of whom will be appearing live in-studio for the festivities now that New York has fully reopened.

Led by the daily hosts of ‘IndieLand on Twitch’ — Tia Hill and Jon Weigell — the event will also feature a number of IndieLand staff members, including senior designer Kyle Rice, staff writer Sage Anderson, and digital editorial director Jerry Portwood, all of whom will host discussions on queer issues and perspectives in music, culture, and journalism.
