The following night is headlined by country singer/songwriter Steve Grand, Mary Lambert – most famous for being featured on the chorus on Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' gay rights single "Same Love" – hip-hop and bounce artist Big Freedia and "I Try" R&B/soul singer Macy Gray.

PrideFest Milwaukee closes out on June 8 with a night of comedy, featuring comediennes Sandra Bernhard and Lisa Lampanelli.
