The Best Photos From LadyLand 2025

LadyLand has felt like an electric, never-ending party and queer refuge for the last few years and over the weekend, Thousands of people gathered for one of the biggest iterations of the festival yet. Starting on Friday, the stages featured tons of star power and high-energy performances as drag powerhouses, pop queens, and rap icons showed off their skills and thrilled the crowd.

More importantly, the event emphasized queer love and joy. On Saturday night, just before British polymath FKA Twigs performed a stunning, intricately choreographed set, LadyLand founder Ladyfag took the stage for a moving speech, reminding everyone at the festival how deserving they are of happiness and light after attacks on the queer community. She read from the Zoe Leonard poem “I Want a President,” eliciting cheers from the crowd. “I  want to know why we started learning somewhere down the line that a president is always a clown,” the poem goes.

Throughout the two-day festival, there were plenty of other chances for celebration, as artists like Cardi B, Eartheater, Isabella Lovestory, Pabllo Vittar, Twigs, and more enraptured fans. Here’s the very best of what happened.
