Neon Trees to Headline Palm Springs Pride's Día de la Reina
Greater Palm Springs Pride announced today the iconic indie rock band Neon Trees will headline the Arenas District Pride Week opening event, Día de la Reina, on October 31st. Traditionally a night of ghosts, ghouls, and goblins, this free block party celebration is all about the Queens and Kings of Palm Springs. Pride in Palm Springs runs from October 31 to November 3.
Known for their infectious melodies and energetic live performances, Neon Trees will bring their signature sound to the Arenas District stage, promising a night of unforgettable music. Neon Trees' fifth studio album, "Sink Your Teeth," showcases the band's growth and maturity, while frontman Tyler Glenn has been particularly open about his journey in recent years, sharing his experiences with faith, sexuality, and personal growth.
His solo album, "Excommunication," released in 2016, explored his upbringing in the church and his coming-out experience. In 2017, he co-founded the LOVELOUD Foundation with Imagine Dragons frontman Dan Reynolds, which aims to bring communities and families together to help create the opportunity for unconditional love towards LGBTQ+ youth.
"We're trying to do everything we can to change things with the tone of love," Tyler says. "Love is a great unifier, and music is a great unifier. That's always been Neon Trees' mission as well." Some of Neon Trees' most popular songs include "Animal", "Everybody Talks", "Sleeping With a Friend" and "Used to Like".
"We're incredibly excited to have the Billboard chart-topping band Neon Trees join us as our headliner," said Ron deHarte, President and CEO of Greater Palm Springs Pride. "Their music is a perfect fit for the vibrant and inclusive spirit of Palm Springs Pride."
Día de la Reina is a free block party celebration that kicks off Palm Springs Pride week. For the 13th year, Palm Springs Pride has created extraordinary Arenas Road experiences, bringing our community together for delicious food, live music, and a fun-filled night in Palm Springs!
With their catchy tunes, energetic stage presence, and commitment to inclusivity, Neon Trees is sure to deliver a memorable performance at Palm Springs Pride 8:00 pm, October 31, in the Arenas District, Arenas Road between Indian Canyon Drive and Calle Encilia. Free event.
