Allison Russell, Billy Porter, Ben Platt, David Archuleta, Meghan Trainor, Melissa Etheridge, Orville Peck, RAYE, Victoria Monét and More Join P&G and iHeartMedia’s Fifth Annual Can’t Cancel Pride 2024 on June 12

iHeartMedia and P&G will once again join forces during Pride Month for the return of Can’t Cancel Pride - an evening recognizing the impact of both music and LGBTQ+ organizations have on the community. The fifth annual special event will feature performances by Elton John Impact Award Recipient and host Billy Porter, Allison Russell, Ben Platt, David Archuleta, Meghan Trainor, Melissa Etheridge, Orville Peck, RAYE, Victoria Monét and more on June 12 from the iHeartRadio Theater in Los Angeles and remote locations across the country.

The one-hour benefit special, produced by iHeartMedia and P&G, will stream on iHeartRadio’s YouTube and Facebook pages, Hulu, Revry, and The Advocate Channel on June 12 at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT and will be available to stream throughout Pride Month.

This year, Billy Porter will be honored with the Elton John Impact Award for his unwavering activism fighting for equity and liberation for marginalized people around the globe. Billy is a leader in the advancement of civil rights, access to education, the right to vote, and HIV/AIDS awareness, and has worked with and been recognized by organizations like the Elton John AIDS Foundation, Human Rights Campaign, GLAAD, Broadway Cares Equity Fights AIDS, the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation, The Brotherhood Sister Sol, Outright International and the Matthew Shepard Foundation. Previous recipients of this award include Elton John and Brandi Carlile.

The event recognizes the trailblazers creating positive change across different areas of society while providing much needed visibility and funding for six LGBTQ+ organizations – CenterLink, GLAAD, National Black Justice Coalition, Outright International, The Trevor Project and SAGE – to continue the transformative work they are accomplishing in support of the LGBTQ+ community. Now in its fifth year, the event will celebrate the profound impact of music, a unifying force that can drive society toward more equality and acceptance for all.

Can’t Cancel Pride was created during the COVID-19 pandemic when so many Pride events around the world were forced to cancel, limiting LGBTQ+ community visibility and decreasing fundraising activities for critical LGBTQ+ organizations. In its first four years, Can’t Cancel Pride has raised over 14 million dollars for six diverse LGBTQ+ charitable organizations. In 2023 alone, Can’t Cancel Pride reached over 23 million viewers and listeners.
