Pop star Fergie will be headlining the Dance on the Pier, the iconic closing night even of NYC Pride.
Heritage of Pride announced yesterday morning that the “Fergalicious” singer will perform some of her biggest hits as well as new tracks at the June 26 event, which sees thousands dancing on Hudson River Park’s Pier 26.
“Fergie is a stellar singer-songwriter, a world-class performer, and a long-time advocate for LGBT people,” said Jose Ramos, NYC Pride Dance on the Pier director. “This is a performance that our guests will be talking about for years to come.”
Fergie took a pause from music to raise son Axl Jack with husband Josh Duhamel, though she’s been back in the studio working on a follow up to 2006’s The Dutchess.
“I’m so honored to be performing at the 30th Dance on the Pier at NYC Pride, the largest LGBT Pride celebration in the world,” said Fergie in a statement. “We’re going to createsomething extra special to celebrate this milestone.”
She joins the ranks of Cher, Whitney Houston, Jennifer Lopez, Janet Jackson, Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato and other top performers who have rocked the Dance on the Pier, NYC Pride’s biggest fundraiser.
In addition to being its 30th anniversary, the 2016 Dance on the Pier marks the final dance to take place on Pier 26, which is being transformed into a recreation space and marine center.
“We can’t wait for Fergie to bring the house down one last time at Pier 26,” said Chris Frederick, NYC Pride Managing Director.
