WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA— **Reviewer’s Note:** While we are aware there was some controversy at the announcement of Diplo’s set at WeHo Outloud, we are here solely to review the set and share our observations.
DJ Diplo’s (aka Thomas Wesley Pentz Jr.) performance at WeHo Outloud Pride was a high-energy spectacle that left the crowd buzzing with excitement and delight. The set was filled with electrifying beats, surprise guest appearances, and an all-around party atmosphere that kept everyone on their feet from start to finish.
One of the night’s standout moments was when Bebe Rexha made a special appearance to perform her song “I’m Good (Blue)” with Diplo. The track was an infectious blend of pop and dance music, with catchy lyrics that had the crowd singing along and dancing with pure joy. Bebe Rexha’s powerful vocals, combined with Diplo’s expert mixing skills, created a truly unforgettable moment that will go down in WeHo Outloud history.
In addition to Bebe Rexha’s show-stopping performance, the runway saw appearances from the fabulous Miss Ken Doll and the fierce true Queen Symone, winner of the 13th cycle of RuPaul’s Drag Race. Their presence added an extra layer of glamour, struts, and excitement to the event, bringing the crowd to a whole new level of euphoria.
Throughout the night, club dancers showcased their impressive moves up and down the runway, adding a dynamic visual element to Diplo’s music. This was a welcome addition to the normal DJ set. However, it was the incredible strippers who stole the show with their gravity-defying acrobatics on the stripper pole set up beside the DJ booth. Their athleticism and showmanship added a touch of sensuality and edge to the already electrifying atmosphere of the event.
As Diplo spun his signature beats behind the DJ booth, the energy in the venue reached its peak. The crowd was mesmerized by the pulsating rhythms and infectious melodies coming from the speakers, moving as one in a collective dance of pure joy. Diplo’s seamless transitions and expert mixing skills kept the momentum going strong throughout the night, ensuring there was never a dull moment on the dance floor.
Towards the end of the set, one of Diplo’s friends surprised everyone and Diplo by pulling off Diplo’s shirt and bringing him down to the front of the stage to dance and enjoy the moment. Diplo’s infectious energy and genuine love for the music were palpable as he danced, creating a sense of unity and connection that transcended the barriers between performer and audience. It was a moment of pure joy and celebration, encapsulating Pride’s spirit and music’s power to bring people together.
The lighting design and video projections at WeHo Outloud Pride’s main stage, where Diplo was spinning the beats, were also worth noting. The vibrant colors and dynamic lighting enhanced the event’s overall atmosphere, creating a visually stunning backdrop for Diplo’s performance. The combination of pulsating beats, colorful lights, and an enthusiastic crowd created a truly immersive experience that left a lasting impression on all who attended. The video crew who negotiated the pit worked their butts off and deserved a shout-out!
Overall, DJ Diplo’s set at WeHo Outloud Pride was a resounding success, delivering an unforgettable night of music, dance, and celebration. From surprise guest performances to gravity-defying acrobatics, the event had something for everyone and kept the crowd engaged and entertained from start to finish. Diplo’s infectious energy and expert mixing skills shone throughout the set, creating a euphoric atmosphere that captured Pride’s spirit and music’s power to unite and uplift. We can’t wait to see what Diplo has in store for future performances, as this one will surely go down in WeHo Outloud history as a night to remember.
