New York’s Joopiter made their festival debut at LadyLand this year.

Bravo fans might remember Meredith Marks from The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, but she’s also been a DJ and proud GLAAD ambassador for a while.

The Illustrious Blacks, who the New York Times once called Bed-Stuy’s “favorite creative couple,” brought their futuristic, space disco sound to LadyLand.

Charlie Le Mindu was once a hair stylist to stars like  Troye Sivan, but the French multidisciplinary artist now makes his own brand of provocative, genre-bending music under the name Muchas Problemas.

The Australian-born, Paris-based artist Sam Quealy shared her stunning stage presence at LadyLand this year.

The crowd proved how fired up they were as LadyLand got going on Saturday.

Babymorocco showed off his sense of style backstage just before performing.

Singer Bayli, who was born and raised in Brooklyn, gave fans her all during a nighttime slot on the Resist Stage.

Fans were super into Bayli’s set, singng along and cheering on her every move.

The Illustrious Blacks were an example of charisma and a unique point of view at the festival. 

Meredith Marks showed her skills on the turntable when she hyped up the crowd on the Fist Stage, and even made time for a caviar bump.

Bayli took a few moments for the cameras after her hyped-up set.

Babymorocco, a Moroccan-born English singer, is known for his provocative performance art. He brought a taste of his work to LadyLand on Saturday.

Australian artist Sam Quealy does it all: She sings, writes, and dances, and has taken inspiration from cabaret and the performing arts.

Rapper Cupcakke made the crowd go wild by performing her hits on the Fist Stage.

Hannah Diamond was pretty in pink as she brought her hyperpop sounds and a touch of sweetness to the festival.

Berlin-based DJ Gigola got the crowd dancing as she spun on the Resist Stage.

Romy, the English artist and member of the xx, had the crowd in the palm of her hands with a DJ set on the main stage of the festival.

Headliner Kim Petras hangs out at the festival. The star has had a close relationship with LadyLand since performing at the very first edition.

Ladyfag remembered how Petras took the stage during the pouring rain during the first edition of LadyLand. “I’m standing on the side of the festival like a worried mom, and I’m like, she’s fucked,” Ladyfag recalled. “But the thing about Kim Petras ia she wasn’t fucked. She got out to the front of the stage and fucking turned it out.”

Kim Petras made her big return as the headliner this year. She enthralled the crowd with massive stage presence and tons of new music.

Kim Petras showed out and closed the festival with a bang.
