We Arrive.

A special Pride Session of Velvet Nation with Boy Joey — recorded live at The Baltimore Eagle in Baltimore, MD on Saturday, June 13th, 2026.

Movement I is the opening hour of a four-hour headlining set. The mission: claim the room. This is festival-grade peak energy — hands-up, defiant, joyful. We made it to another Pride. We are still here.

The hour opens with the cinematic spoken-word anthem "One Heart," then climbs through Becky Hill, Avicii, and the modern peak-time canon, before landing on the emotional pivot point of the night: Andra Day's "Rise Up" layered with Harvey Milk's 1978 "You Gotta Give 'Em Hope" speech — the bridge that hands the room over to Movement II.

This is what arrival sounds like. Defiance, joy, and the first declaration that this night is going to mean something.

Featured tracks include: Boy Joey "One Heart," Becky Hill "Remember," Avicii "Levels," Andra Day × Harvey Milk "Rise Up / Give Them Hope"

🎧 We Arrive. We Remember. We Become. We Rise. — Movement I of IV
