The Backstreet Boys will headline the main stage at this year's 40th anniversary LGBT Pride Parade and festival in San Francisco, the Bay Area Reporter reported Thursday.
Main stage producer Audrey Joseph said it feels amazing to have the Backstreet Boys on her performance roster.
Due to the free admission policy, Pride organizers admitted they are not able to pay acts as much as they might receive at other venues. "People who perform on our Pride stage do it because they want to," not for the money, Joseph said.
Other expected headliners include Rose Royce, Martha Davis and the Motels, and Andy Bell from Erasure.
San Francisco Pride showcased Lady Gaga in 2008, before she became a more mainstream success, and hopes to continue the tradition with this year's roster of new talent, including Dangerous Muse, Hello Hollywood, and Hunter Valentine.
San Francisco LGBT Pride will take place on June 26 and 27. The Backstreet Boys are expected to perform mid-afternoon June 27. Exact performance times are pending.
