The Out.Fest, a cornerstone of the Portuguese music scene, celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. Originating in Barreiro in 2004, this festival has evolved into a significant cultural event, showcasing a diverse range of musical genres from jazz to electronic and rock. The festival not only highlights local talent but also serves as a platform for international artists, making it a vibrant hub for music lovers.
Out.Fest began as a modest event in Barreiro, a city not typically associated with major music festivals. Over the years, it has grown into a celebrated institution, reflecting the evolution of music and culture in Portugal.
To mark its 20th anniversary, Out.Fest is hosting a series of events that pay homage to its rich history. The festival will run from Wednesday to Sunday, featuring performances from a diverse lineup of artists. Additionally, a book chronicling the festival’s journey and a photography exhibition by Vera Marmelo will be on display, capturing the essence of Out.Fest and its connection to the community.
