LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Chappell Roan will now headline the Kentuckiana Pride Festival on Saturday after Icona Pop had to back out due to an illness.

The Kentuckiana Pride Foundation said in an update that Chappell Roan will now close the festival with her performance starting at 9 p.m.

They've now scheduled The Aces to perform at 7:40 p.m. All other acts will play as scheduled.

In a statement on social media, Icona Pop said, "Aino is feeling super unwell so we unfortunately last minute won't be able to join Kentuckiana Pride... Please go extra hard for us at Chappell Roan's set for us."

All 25,000 tickets have been sold out for the festival since earlier this week as a record crowd is expected.

The Pride Parade remains open and free to the public. This year's parade starts at noon in the NuLu neighborhood and ends at the Big Four Lawn.
