OUTLOUD Music Festival
at WeHo Pride
(2025)

2025 was a pivotal year of growth for OUTLOUD Music Festival at WeHo Pride. As corporate brands fled the LGBTQ+ space in a newly tense political climate, the economy slowed, and live events struggled to find their audience, OUTLOUD turned to the community it had built in the previous years.

Instead of running from an LGBTQ+ tone, OUTLOUD chose to double-down on it, making strong choices in both marketing and lineup. OUTLOUD Music Festival at WeHo Pride’s marketing campaign focused on West Hollywood as a safe-space in a campaign titled “LGBTQ HQ.” Additionally, the lineup was by far the most diverse yet.

OUTLOUD Music Festival
in Boston
(2025)

OUTLOUD’s first excursion out of the West Coast proved to be an incredible success. OUTLOUD Music Festival in Boston, a one-day festival at the historic Suffolk Downs, was produced in partnership with The Bowery, part of AEG. However, all marketing, branding, screens, and on-site signage were created in-house to make sure this new audience, experiencing an OUTLOUD event for the first time, would come away with a clear sense of joy, love, and community OUTLOUD always delivers.

OUTLOUD Music Festival
at WeHo Pride
(2024)

Perhaps OUTLOUD’s biggest year to date, 2024 saw big changes for OUTLOUD Music Festival at WeHo Pride brand identity. It became a priority to mature and grow the visual storytelling language, moving beyond the soundwaves, and drawing inspiration from the unique location and venue aspect of the festival. OUTLOUD Music Festival at WeHo Pride consistently delivers that feeling when the world fades away, the sound envelops your body, and your experience is uniquely yours. Our soundwaves grew into glass refractions, enveloping the marketing with a close community feeling.

OUTLOUD Music Festival
at WeHo Pride
(2023)

Still new and unknown outside of the SoCal region, 2023 saw OUTLOUD Music Festival at WeHo Pride with endless possibilities. This was the first year the brand had content to utilize from the previous year and could leverage those assets to begin growing into a nationally recognized champion for the LGBTQ+ community and the best place to kick of Pride Month every year.
