White Party Palm Springs Announces Initial Headliners

With the 25th White Party approaching in less than two weeks, event founder and producer Jeffrey Sanker announced Ariana Grande will perform at the event's Saturday night party on April 26.

Grande, often compared to Mariah Carey, just performed at the White House and already scored a Top 10 hit with "The Way," from her double-platinum 2013 debut album, Yours Truly. Grande performs at the Saturday night main event at the Palm Springs Convention Center.

Bleona, a European pop star who performed poolside at last year's event, will take the stage at Friday's night "Addicted to White" underwear party. A new girl group, G.R.L., will entertain at Sunday's T-Dance. G.R.L. is a project of Pussycat Dolls creator Robin Antin and features members from the U.S., Canada, and Britain. Conceptual photographer Duke Shoman is creating "beautiful and striking photographic tableaus" along the "White Carpet." Shoman's pieces will have a silver theme, in keeping with the White Party's silver anniversary. Read more about what's on the White Party agenda here.
