OUTlaw Pride Fest 2026
“Nothing’s more outlaw than being queer in country music.”
Past lineups have brought River Shook (Sarah Shook & the Disarmers), Jaime Wyatt, Lavender Country, Adeem the Artist, Melissa Carper, Paisley Fields, and dozens more to Austin’s queer country stage. OUTlaw Pride has raised over $21,000 for queer Texas nonprofits across our events. The 2026 lineup is being curated now.

Built On Trust
Nothing But Phenomenal
Our partnership with OUTlaw Pride for Pride in Local Music has been nothing but phenomenal. Under Julie Nolen’s leadership, OUTlaw brings unmatched professionalism and expertise, and the event runs seamlessly.
Built On Generosity
BPSF is grateful to Julie for choosing our LGBTQIA+ economic justice programs as a beneficiary of donations raised through her events. She has built strong relationships across our music and locally owned bar community, connecting small business owners with the queer community.
A Place To Belong
I’ve proudly performed with OUTlaw Pride for three years. It’s a collective that builds community through music, giving queer artists like me and our fans a place to show up as themselves and belong.
“I started this because I had no idea how many beautiful queer stories were being told in country music. I wanted to create a real-world space where we could all be together. Nothing’s more outlaw than that.”
