The Pride Weekend music festival, initially branded as SoSF with headliner Kehlani, underwent significant changes, including a name change to Pride '25 Block Party, after Kehlani withdrew from the lineup. This decision seemingly stemmed from her criticisms of Israeli military actions. The festival also shifted from Pier 80, a large venue, to the smaller Midway. Following these changes, the event faced backlash for poor communication, prompting criticism from community leaders and local acts who felt unheard during this significant Pride celebration.
The festival initially promised a star-studded lineup including Kehlani, but communication issues and venue changes have left attendees confused and frustrated.
The event has now changed its name to Pride '25 Block Party after losing its original headliner and has scrubbed its social media accounts.
