Salt Lake City
LOVELOUD turns 10. The festival grows into a city-wide weekend of music, community and mental health programming, and we're inviting a small group of brands to build it with us.
Why brands belong here
LOVELOUD gives brands a joyful, family-friendly way to show up for LGBTQ+ youth, their families and allies, through music the whole community loves.
Belonging you can feel
Fans, families and first-timers singing along together. Your brand becomes part of the welcome.
Music that moves culture
Headliners and LOVELOUD alumni draw Gen Z and millennial fans from across the country.
Impact you can report
Every partnership funds organizations focused on mental health, youth support and community care.
A decade of proof
Founded in 2017 by Dan Reynolds of Imagine Dragons and Tyler Glenn of Neon Trees, LOVELOUD has grown from one Utah concert into a national platform.

Why LOVELOUD matters
Acceptance saves lives. LOVELOUD is where families practice it together, with parents, grandparents and young people side by side in the same crowd.
The need is urgent
36%of LGBTQ+ young people seriously considered suicide in 2025.1Acceptance saves lives
3×lower suicide attempt rate for LGBTQ+ youth in very accepting communities: 6%, compared with 18%.1Family is the turning point
8.4×higher risk of a suicide attempt when young people face strong rejection at home.2Every family has a stake
23%of Gen Z adults identify as LGBTQ+, so nearly every family has someone this touches.3Why now
In 2025, several of the places that told LGBTQ+ young people they belong grew quieter, including a national crisis line created just for them. Only about a third of LGBTQ+ youth say community events are a source of support in their lives.1 LOVELOUD's 10th anniversary brings that support back at stadium scale.
Why it works
LOVELOUD is family-first and apolitical. It began in Utah in 2017 as a response to youth suicide, and it has granted $2.7M to organizations that support LGBTQ+ youth and their mental health. Every family in the stands is part of the answer.
Your partnership puts a family in the stands, a young person in a crowd that cheers for them, and real dollars behind the organizations that answer the call.
