The evening also honors Tony nominee Justin Vivian Bond with the first Judy Icon Award. The new award recognizes the recipient's contributions to the LGBTQIA+ community, following in the footsteps of the late Garland.

Bond made their Broadway debut as KiKi DuRane in Kiki & Herb, a duo cabaret with pianist Kenny Mellman. The pair began performing in San Francisco in the 1990s, and played numerous cities and famed venues like Carnegie Hall before their Broadway run. The show was nominated for a 2007 Tony Award for Best Special Theatrical Event. Bond has also appeared Off-Broadway and in London's West End, and has been widely recognized for their activism for the trans community.

“I’ve said this loud and often, but there is no other icon than Justin Vivian Bond," Sayre said in an earlier statement. "Chanteuse, provocateur, artist, sage, truthteller, style maven, V is the icon of downtown. I adore all that she is and all that she does. Even for me, there will only be one Justin: Justin Vivian Bond.”

The annual Pride concert benefits The Ali Forney Center, the nation’s largest agency dedicated to helping LGBTQIA+ homeless youth.
