Celebrate Pride Month with All the Fun iHeartRadio Has to Offer!

It’s Pride Month again! This is a wonderful time to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community by spreading knowledge and understanding and encouraging inclusion for all. iHeartRadio stands proudly in support of these communities, and to honor our commitment, we’re excited to highlight a few ways to celebrate, educate and inspire this Pride Month!

Find the perfect soundtrack to your Pride Month festivities with all of iHeartRadio’s pride-themed playlists, radio stations, artist takeovers and special live events—airing all month long! From the best in music at PRIDE Radio, to podcasts from your favorite LGBTQ+ creators, fundraising events and Pride parties hosted by local radio stations across the country, there’s so many ways to celebrate and appreciate the LGBTQ+ community.

Our third annual “Can’t Cancel Pride,” a relief benefit raising funds for six leading LGBTQ+ organizations, will stream on June 14 with performances and appearances from some of the most influential voices in the community as well as the biggest names in culture and entertainment, including Elton John, Katy Perry, Sam Smith, Lizzo, Anitta, Dove Cameron, Betty Who, Kim Petras and more. This year, the event will be hosted by singer, actress and social media phenom JoJo Siwa.

“Can’t Cancel Pride – Proud AND Together” will stream on June 14 at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT on iHeartRadio’s TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, pages, iHeartRadio’s PrideRadio.com and Revry. The event will later be available on-demand until June 30 on iHeartRadio’s YouTube, Facebook and Revry.

If you love all things audio as much as we do, enjoy your favorite hits on PRIDE Radio as you celebrate love and dance like it’s nobody’s business all June long, or check out some hit iHeartRadio Original podcast series made by LGBTQ+ creators, for the LGBQT+ community. Go deep on the issues with intimate, truth-only conversations from “The Laverne Cox Show,” or share some laughs and pop culture moments with “Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang” and “Pridecast with Jonathan Bennett.” Join lovebirds Emily Estefan and Gemeny Hernandez on their “In Our Own World” podcast and laugh out loud as they bond over living outside the margin, or share even more laughs with Emmy Olea on “Crumbs” as she recounts what it’s like dating as a trans woman.
