2026 is shaping up to be the year of Leland! This out singer-songwriter is making waves in the queer media scene, and let’s just say, he’s ready to turn up the heat this summer. Known for his sultry songwriting skills, Leland has been the creative force behind some of the hottest tracks for RuPaul’s Drag Race and its international spin-offs. Now, he’s set to take center stage at some of the most fabulous Pride events around the globe.
With Pride Month just around the corner, Leland is all about keeping the momentum alive. He’s gearing up for his steamy performances, promising to bring his sexiest songs to life. “It’s just fun to tap into that feeling. I think it’s a combination of past experiences and the sex I wish I was having!” he shared in an interview. Talk about a vibe check! Leland is all about building experiences and fantasies into his music, and we can’t wait to see what he has in store.
But wait, there’s more! Leland’s close collaborator and bestie, Troye Sivan, has been a busy bee too. While it’s been a hot minute since we’ve heard a full album from Sivan, Leland assures us that new music is on the horizon. “I will just say in a good way, a lot has happened in the past year and a half. We have been productive little writing boys!” he teased. We’re on the edge of our seats waiting for that musical magic!
As if that wasn’t enough to get your heart racing, Leland is set to headline Outloud in West Hollywood during Pride Month and the WorldPride Music Festival in Amsterdam at the end of July. He’s ready to bring those sexy and sensual vibes to his electric sets. “I’m loving DJing daytime block parties… hot, sweaty, horny, and the heat! The smells of the sunscreen to the smells of the poppers. I really enjoy creating the soundtrack to that. I’m only going to wear less! Here we go,” he exclaimed. Can we get a hallelujah?
This summer, Leland is not just about the music; he’s about the experience. So grab your sunscreen and prepare for a summer filled with sexy beats, hot performances, and a whole lot of queer joy. Tickets for Outloud are available now, so don’t miss out on the chance to see this rising star light up the stage!
