Very Pride is crossing coasts for the first time ever — and we’re landing loud. From the streets of Chicago to the coast of California, we’re bringing queer joy, deep grooves, and the magic of chosen family to Wicked West SD. Friday, July 18 Wicked West SD 6 p.m. – 1:30 a.m. This isn’t your average Pride party. This is house music heaven, queer excellence, and full-on summer energy rolled into one unforgettable night. Lineup: DERRICK CARTER One of the founding fathers of Chicago house, Derrick needs no introduction—but we’ll give him one anyway. His sets are legendary: funky, fearless, and filled with pure soul. From underground basements to international stages, he keeps dancefloors locked in the groove and lifted by joy. This is a rare West Coast appearance — don’t miss it. KARSTEN SOLLORS Commanding, hypnotic, and undeniably sexy. Karsten’s sound is equal parts underground heat and refined energy — a slow build to euphoria with every set. He knows how to move a room and create space for bodies to release, connect, and transcend. ALEXIS TUCCI A walking disco ball and high priestess of funk. Alexis blends classic house, deep grooves, and glitter-drenched energy in a way that feels like a spiritual release. Expect to twirl, sweat, and maybe cry. If liberation had a soundtrack, she’d be spinning it. NIC JERICHO Moody, percussive, and intensely emotional. Nic curates soundscapes that feel cinematic—pulling you into a darker, richer frequency of house. Think basement rave meets art film. Deep feels, no filler. Hosted by: Khloe Couleé · Miss Toto · Brenna Jordan · Matt Palmer · Chichi Fuera · Maddy Mokes · Stephen Clarke Come early, stay late, and bring your look.
