OUTlaw Pride Fest
Nothing’s more outlaw than being queer in country music.
The First (And Only) Queer Country Festival In Texas
Country music has always had outlaws. We’re just the queer ones.
OUTlaw Pride Fest brings together the best of queer country, Americana, folk, and Western. These are the artists who have always been part of this music’s story, even when country radio refused to tell it. The inaugural festival raised over $4,000 for Out Youth, and we’re just getting started.
Held at Rustic Tap in Austin, OUTlaw Pride Fest is more than a music festival. It’s a celebration of community, a fundraiser for queer youth, and proof that country music belongs to everyone.
The Artists Who’ve Played Our Stage
Critically acclaimed. Genuinely outlaw.
+ the next wave of queer country artists, joining us for 2026.
Moments From Past Years
Hover to pause. This is what OUTlaw Pride Fest feels like.
A Portion Of Every Ticket Goes To Out Youth
$4,000+ raised at the inaugural festival. And growing.
Every OUTlaw Pride Fest ticket helps fund Out Youth, Austin’s longest-running nonprofit for LGBTQ+ young people. Counseling. Community. A safe place to be themselves. The music is beautiful, but the kids it supports? That’s the real headline.
