After 2024’s last-minute Chappell Roan cancellation, during the festival’s 10th anniversary, All Things Go NYC had some trust to rebuild and thousands of fans to dazzle this year. Across three days of packed programming (Sept. 26-28), the festival, a bastion of unabashed queer pride and resistance, overdelivered.
Friday (Sept. 26) boasted a Lucy Dacus-led lineup that included sets from Sarah Kinsley, Goldie Boutilier, The Aces, Maude Latour, Gigi Perez and Djo, who each handled the beaming sun with professional ease. From a surprise Zohran Mamdani appearance to Lucy Dacus officiating eight marriages onstage, Friday certainly kicked off 2025 All Things Go NYC with a bang.
The following day (Sept. 27), arguably the most stacked of the weekend, Sunday (1994), Alemeda, Michelle and Peach PRC warmed Queens’ Forest Hills Stadium up for a knockout four-act run comprised of Griff, Lola Young, Remi Wolf, and Doechii. Unfortunately, near the end of her crowd-conquering set, Young collapsed onstage and abruptly cancelled the rest of her performance. The “Messy” singer-songwriter pulled out of a scheduled performance at Audacy’s Prudential Center-set We Can Survive concert the night prior, citing a “sensitive matter” related to her mental health. Once Remi Wolf graced the stage for her set, the “Soup” singer notified fans that Lola was doing “okay” and in better condition.
Young also gave an update herself via an Instagram Story, writing, “For anyone who saw my set at [All Things Go] today, I am doing okay now. Thank you for all of your support.”
The final night of 2025 All Things Go NYC featured performances by Joy Oladokun, G Flip, Blondshell, Paris Paloma, The Last Dinner Party, The Marías and headliner Clairo. Notably, Clairo was unable to finish her set due to the venue’s curfew. She immediately got on X to write, “The festival cut us off. No idea why. Really sad we couldn’t do our big finish, more surprised they cut my mic midsong. Sad honestly doesn’t even explain it – I’m sorry.” She later added, “They didn’t tell us about the noise ordinance btw.”
