Dan Reynolds launched LOVELOUD festival in 2017 with the intention to “ignite the vital conversation about what it means to unconditionally love, understand, accept and support LGBTQ+ youth in our communities.” Like the year before, the proceeds of the 2018 edition will be donated to local and national LGBTQ+ charities.
“We at LOVELOUD are determined to help create a more loving and accepting environment for them, while also hoping to raise more than $1 million for local and national LGBTQ+ charities,” said Reynolds in a statement. “We look forward to a day dedicated to celebrating their diversity while listening to great music and inspiring speakers.”
