Troy Kristoffer
Former Riverside LGBTQ+ Pride director Troy Kristoffer is trading the boardroom for the spotlight this year.
On May 30, Kristoffer will perform the Inland Empire Pride festival at White Park, performing on the very stage he helped establish during his tenure as Marketing Director from 2021 to 2024.
While today marks his birthday, the artist is skipping the celebration to rehearse for what he describes as his biggest “spectacle” yet—a high-production set featuring dancers, elaborate set pieces, and a mix of original bangers and crowd-pleasing covers.
This performance serves as a career milestone for Kristoffer, who is finally prioritizing a musical journey twenty-five years in the making. By stepping center stage, he aims to challenge industry ageism and the reliance on social media metrics, proving that artistry should supersede a resume or follower count.
Fans can expect a preview of his upcoming LP, Tear Me Down, which is slated for a fall release.
The festival runs from 12 p.m. to 9 p.m. in downtown Riverside, and more information can be found at www.TroyKristoffer.com.
