Meghan Trainor Brings ‘That Bass’ to The 25th Anniversary of Club Skirts Dinah Shore Weekend

Pop star Meghan Trainor is the confirmed headline act for the highly anticipated 25th Anniversary of the legendary Club Skirts Dinah Shore Weekend, April 1-5, 2015 in Palm Springs, CA.

The 20-year-old singer-songwriter from Nantucket will grace the main stage of the Palm Springs Convention Center during the Dinah’s “Black Party”.

Club Skirts Dinah Shore Weekend, popularly known as ‘The Dinah’, is the biggest & largest lesbian event of its kind in the world.

Founded and produced by Mariah Hanson, ‘The Dinah’ has, for the past 25 years, continuously been changing minds and changing lives, offering women from all over the world the opportunity to express their true selves and gain an extraordinary amount of self worth. With ‘The Dinah’, Hanson has created a haven where acceptance and tolerance rule.

“Meghan Trainor is the perfect artist to headline the 2015 Dinah, our milestone year. Her song is a record breaking number one billboard hit, and in addition it invokes a new social paradigm that places less emphasis on the exterior and more emphasis on the fact that we are all beautiful and that that beauty comes in many shapes, colors and sizes.

I’m especially proud to join with Meghan in sending out this wonderful life-affirming message to our guests. It’s time. And it’s our time!”

Mariah Hanson, founder and promoter of Club Skirts Dinah Shore Weekend.

Hanson’s natural knack for spotting the next best thing in music has transformed ‘The Dinah’ into the inescapable venue for newcomers to breakthrough. Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Kesha and Iggy Azalea are a few examples of artists who, post-Dinah, systematically went on to hit international superstar status.

The music industry now looks at ‘The Dinah’ as a pivotal indicator in the success of emerging artists’ careers, and has put the festival on the A list of all festivals. The Dinah has undeniably made a name for itself as not only an important festival landmark welcoming the biggest names in the music industry; but also the MUST-DO Spring event of the Palm Springs festival season.

Meghan Trainor is the first confirmed headliner joining the 2015 Dinah Entertainment Line-Up.

Mariah Hanson will be announcing more top-notch performers by the end of the year and early 2015.

April 1-5, 2015 Club Skirts Dinah Shore Weekend is turning twenty-five and taking the landmark event to new heights … from EPIC to HISTORIC!
