History

edit

While the festival is always held in Barreiro, the venues used have constantly changed since its inception, with each day of the festival typically being held in a different venue. Many of the sites chosen are often not regularly used for musical events of any sort - for example, the 2017 edition’s first and second days were held in a local church (Igreja de Santa Maria) and an industrial Museum (Museu Industrial da Baía do Tejo) respectively. This itinerancy and use of lesser-known local landmarks and buildings as concert spaces has been one of the hallmarks of the festival, and serves as a way to help both visitors and locals explore the city of Barreiro.

The festival has been nominated for the European Festival Awards[1] and granted the “EFFE - Europe for Festivals, Festivals for Europe”[2] label in recent years. OUT.FEST is also a regular feature in many Portuguese and international publications, being covered by The Wire Magazine,[3] The Quietus,[4] El País,[5] RTP,[6] VICE[7] and Jornal Público,[8] among others. Among the notable artists who have been a part of the festival over the years are The Fall, Panda Bear, William Basinski, Oneohtrix Point Never, Rafael Toral, Evan Parker, James Ferraro, Sei Miguel, Faust and Matana Roberts.
