Jake Resnicow Presents Planet Pride Cosmic Portal and Dreamland: Pride in Central Park Headlined by Oliver Heldens and Gorgon City
This Pride, acclaimed producer Jake Resnicow will unveil what is being hailed as the greatest Pride celebration in New York City history, with two marquee events: Planet Pride: Cosmic Portal on Saturday, June 28 at Avant Gardner and Dreamland: Pride in Central Park on Sunday, June 29 at SummerStage.
Fresh off the record-breaking WorldPride Music Festival in Washington, D.C., which drew tens of thousands and featured Jennifer Lopez, Troye Sivan, and more, Resnicow brings that same energy and purpose to his hometown. These NYC events mark his biggest Pride weekend to date, combining large-scale production with meaningful community impact.
Planet Pride will transform Avant Gardner into a 12-hour multi-stage spectacle featuring six powerhouse party brands: Dreamland, Good Boy, Devil’s Playground, Circuit Festival, Ty Tea, and The Zero Space. Held across The Great Hall and King’s Hall, the event will feature 500,000 watts of sound, a 390-inch LED screen, 300 moving lights, 20 lasers, and over 200 staff working to create an unforgettable experience. Proceeds benefit FEMME House, supporting women and gender-expansive individuals in music.
Headlining the night is Dutch future house pioneer Oliver Heldens, alongside Cheat Codes, Frank Walker, and a surprise special guest. More than 20 international performers round out the bill, including Altego, Karsten Sollors, Ty Sunderland, The Illustrious Blacks, and Shaun Ross. The event also features the NYC debut of Circuit Festival, with global DJs Junyo, Suri, Thomas Solvert, and Tom Stephan.
The celebration continues with Dreamland: Pride in Central Park on Sunday, June 29, a daytime outdoor festival at Rumsey Playfield. Designed as a vibrant and inclusive celebration of queer identity, this year’s edition is headlined by UK house legends Gorgon City, joined by breakout star Hayla and international sensation Anne Louise. Doors open at 3:00 PM, with music running until 10:00 PM. Tickets are on sale now via Ticketmaster.
“We’re not just throwing parties—we’re building platforms for self-expression, connection, and cultural impact. Pride is more than a weekend. It’s a movement. Through music and togetherness, we’re creating space for every voice to be heard and every color to shine,”
—Jake Resnicow
The 2025 edition of Dreamland builds on the massive success of last year’s event, which featured a high-octane set from John Summit that electrified the crowd and set a new standard for Pride programming.
A portion of proceeds from Dreamland: Pride in Central Park will benefit City Parks Foundation, a nonprofit that transforms parks into centers of community life through arts, sports, education, and civic engagement—reaching more than 275,000 New Yorkers each year across 300+ public spaces.
Named to the OUT100 list of the most influential LGBTQ+ figures, Jake Resnicow has redefined what Pride can look like. His festivals in New York, Miami, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas have become cultural cornerstones, and his events have raised over $30 million for organizations such as The Trevor Project, Life Ball, Ali Forney Center, Lambda Legal, and It Gets Better.
