✨✨Announcing: Our Ozarks Pridefest 2026 HEADLINER ✨✨
We are beyond excited to announce our Ozarks Pridefest 2026 Headliner – Dylan Earl (he/him)!!
Born in Louisiana and naturalized by the Natural State, Dylan Earl seeks to understand himself by understanding others and where he makes his home. His recent release, ‘Level-Headed Even Smile’ (September 2025), charts territory into his formative years discovering Arkansas, the people who showed him the ropes and back roads, and who he hopes to become. Offering poignant nostalgia, history, and a refreshingly progressive approach to country and western music, his newest effort is rife with wry wit, irreverence, and an endearing desire to colour outside the lines.

You will not want to miss our featured drag performer, Madame Mystery, at Ozarks Pridefest 2026!
Madame Mystery is a modern-day cabaret powerhouse from the mind of Victor LeYon. She’s an electrifying character who fuses the spectacle of female impersonation with the mystery of magic, the soul of live vocals, the thrill of variety arts, and vintage “vegas” fashion into shows and performances that will leave you asking how she does it all.
She's not just a Queen. She’s a showstopper, a professional, a storyteller, and an unstoppable force of entertainment.

We're getting excited for our Opening Band for Ozarks Pridefest 2026 – Waffle! 🧇
Waffle is a Springfield-based self-defined "sillyrock" band that takes influence from current indie to 90s rock, with light dusts of metal, jazz, and prog. The band was formed in 2023 when the being called Waffleman was cleaved into six parts, which then became the band's members, vowing to restore the harmony of breakfast. (This origin story is debatably true.) Their debut EP, Hercules in the Gas Station, releases June 13th.
