Who’s Going To Be On the All Things Go 2025 Lineup?

BY LIZ BAUMMER

With the release of the All Things Go DC lineup on the horizon tomorrow (4/15) and the NYC lineup following a week later (4/22), the Out Jamz chat has been a flurry of festival thoughts and predictions. There are so many amazing queer artists that we would love to see take the stage at ATG 2025! Enjoy some of our team’s lineup predictions and hopes below:

Rebecca Black

The icon of many of our middle/high school years is still continuing her rise to fame. Out Jamz has covered Black twice, once in DC and once in Chicago. I personally believe that Black is the type of artist that brings headliner festival energy even to the smallest of shows. While she likely wouldn’t be the ATG headliner, her powerhouse energy and production value (if her tour was any indication) would turn any ATG stage into one of the gayest dance clubs to ever exist. She definitely has my vote to be a perfect fit for ATG.

Molly Grace

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: Molly Grace is destined for stardom, and Out Jamz is one of her OG fans. Out Jamz has covered her before in NYC and most recently in DC on her headline tour. Molly Grace brings the gay pop princess vibes of our dreams. Her sparkly aesthetic and sunshine personality really come through on stage, and that perfectly matches a lot of the outfits I’ve seen at ATG in year prior. I’m excited to see her popping up on more music festival and Pride lineups, and I would love nothing more to see her at ATG. She’s also repeatedly expressed interest in being part of All Things Go so I can only hope that maybe it’s a sign. She even liked the lineup date announcement post ;)

KE$HA

Our photographer Holly sites a “gut feelings” as her justification for this prediction, and I sure hope she’s right. I mean who doesn’t want to see Kesha live?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? I’m pretty sure the first song I ever heard on the radio and then memorized all the lyrics too in elementary school was Tik Tok. And having Kesha on the lineup would make a ton of sense logistically. Her recent tour announcement for this fall would have her playing venues (most of which are amphitheaters) that are roughly the size of All Things Go and she’s released new music in 2025. Her tour also doesn’t not have a DC stop with the closest being Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and Virginia Beach. Could we being seeing her in DC for ATG 2025? 

Doechii

I’m living for the current Doechii world domination that we are seeing in the last year or so, and I am desperately hoping she brings that world domination to All Things Go. With a Grammy win for Best Rap Album, Grammy nominations for Best New Arist and Best Rap Performance, a number of the most viral audios on TikTok, and top billing at a number of major music festivals, I’m convinced there is nothing Doechii cannot do. Doechii is legendary, and I think having her headline a female and queer individual-led music festival would be something both she would love and the fans would love even more.

Lucy Dacus

Out Jamz photographer Dany threw out the prediction of Lucy Dacus and I couldn’t agree more. Dacus is currently out on her headline tour (supported by Katie Gavin and jasmint.4.t two other artists that I would love to see on the ATG lineup). With a number of the shows on this tour sold out, in some cases multiple nights in multiple cities sold out, Dacus would bring some serious star power to the All Things Go lineup. It also might be worth it to note… Dacus’s North American tour ends on September 24th - just two days before the first day of ATG - in Pittsburgh, PA – not a far drive from both DC or NYC. Maybe that is simply a coincidence, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed for something more… After boygenius two years ago and Julien Baker last year, will we see the return of another member of boygenius to the All Things Go stage? Only time will tell!

Clairo

I’m totally convinced Out Jamz founder Liam has some of the best taste in music. I’m also pretty convinced he is one of Clairo’s number one fans. He introduced me to Clairo last year, and I’ve been hooked ever since. With a wildly successful headline tour and billing on multiple festivals including Coachella, it would make total sense for Clairo to join the ATG lineup. I’ve always loved the intimate nature of Clairo’s performances and the way she is able to make the biggest of rooms/venues feel so small and cozy. While I can’t speak to ATG NYC, I can see her perfectly fitting in either the Pavilion or the Chrysalis stage with ease! 

Jensen McRae

Out Jamz writer Kat hopes to see Jensen McRae on the lineup this year. I agree especially because I am so sad to be missing her DC show in May. With roughly half of her shows sold out between the North American and Europe dates on her upcoming tour, McRae is continuing to take the world by storm. With her new album, I Don’t Know How But They Found Me!, releasing at the end of April and tour running from early May to late June, there are no currently announced conflicts that would keep McRae from being on the ATG. She’s also playing Up in the Sky Music Festival in Aspen, CO in August so I’m keeping my fingers crossed that maybe she adds another festival in September to that schedule!

Chappell Roan

I think one of the biggest ATG questions on fans minds is will we see the return of Chappell Roan to the ATG lineup this year, and if so, will she be a headliner. Roan was billed to play both DC and NYC last year before having to withdraw in the days before the festivals to prioritize her health amidst her busy touring and festival schedule. While fans were obviously sad, the online rallying behind Roan by both the official All Things Go accounts and the fanbase was heartwarming. In DC, MUNA joined the lineup in Roan’s slot (sidenote: I would LOVE to see MUNA back at ATG as well), and in NYC, local drag artists performed in the slot where Roan was supposed to play. I know a lot of people are hoping to see Roan join the ATG lineup this year. If she does, I imagine she will likely be a headliner this year, something that was not true last year. Her meteoric rise to fame and the sheer size of the crowds she draws means it makes the most sense to have her close out one of the three nights of the festival.

Other artists, both queer and not queer, Out Jamz staff would like to see on the lineup include: Luke Hemmings, Aly and AJ, Katie Gavin, MUNA, HAIM, Gracie Abrams, Moody Joody, Kehlani, Ariana Abdul, Nessa Barrett, MMATA, Remi Wolf, Tinashe, Maude Latour, Mxmtoon, The Marías, and Madi Diaz
