Wolf Trap presents the OUT & ABOUT FESTIVAL, a two-day, three stage festival of music and nature headlined by multi-Grammy award winner Brandi Carlile in America's only National Park for the Performing Arts. Out & About celebrates pride by spotlighting LBGTQ+ artists and allies who live out loud.

VIENNA, Va., Feb. 1, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Wolf Trap Foundation for the Performing Arts announces the Out & About Festival, a celebration of music, nature and pride headlined by multi-Grammy Award winner Brandi Carlile. This family-friendly festival spotlights superstar LGBTQ+ artists and allies, and spans three stages and two days, June 24 and 25, 2023, at America's only National Park for the Performing Arts.

"The Out & About Festival captures the spirit of Wolf Trap—we are a community where music and nature are for all to enjoy," said Arvind Manocha, president and CEO of Wolf Trap Foundation. "Brandi is an inspiration to artists and audiences, both for her unmistakable sound and for standing proudly as an icon of the gay community. We are really grateful for the chance to collaborate with Brandi and all of the guest artists to realize a shared vision."

“The Out & About Festival captures the spirit of Wolf Trap—we are a community where music and nature are for all to enjoy,” said Arvind Manocha, president and CEO of Wolf Trap Foundation.

Folk-rock superstar Brandi Carlile is known for her distinctive voice and high-energy performances, as well as for her philanthropic work, which brings people together in support of humanitarian and social causes. She first performed at Wolf Trap in 2008, as an opening act for the Indigo Girls, and has since returned to headline on five occasions, including her most recent visit to the Filene Center in 2021 and her intimate acoustic shows on her Pin Drop Tour at The Barns at Wolf Trap in 2014.

In addition to Carlile, who closes both nights, the festival bill includes Queen of Country Soul, Yola; electric indie pop band Lucius; folk pop singer/songwriter Rufus Wainwright; soulful singer and spoken word artist Celisse. For the first time in decades, all three of Wolf Trap's stages—the Filene Center, the Meadow Stage, and Children's Theatre-in-the-Woods—will be programmed throughout the day. Artists on the Meadow Stage include glam pop artist Jake Wesley Rogers; raw country artist and emotional lyricist Brandy Clark; and two local D.C. artists—vintage power punk band Bad Moves and indie soul band Oh He Dead. For younger fans, the festival will feature Alphabet Rockers, a hip-hop children's music collective, and the first New Orleans jazz band for kids, Jazzy Ash & The Leaping Lizards with special guest Pam Rocker on the Children's Theatre-in-the-Woods stage. In all, 11 artists perform across three stages during the two-day festival.

Produced and programmed by the nonprofit Wolf Trap Foundation, the festival highlight LGBTQ+ artists, brings fans together during Pride month, and activates the Park in new and holistic ways.

Each day opens with family-friendly shows for all ages at Children's Theatre-in-the-Woods, a rustic amphitheater nestled in a shaded grove. Afternoons will feature acts performing up-close-and-personal sets on the charming open-air Meadow Stage. Each day closes at the Filene Center, Wolf Trap's majestic outdoor amphitheater, which boasts state-of-the-art sound systems, newly upgraded and accessible seating, and general-admission lawn seats.

Throughout each day, guests will experience an unparalleled natural setting and new performance configurations, as well as free parking, an array of food options, amenities, and more. The campus also features new large outdoor pavilions and picnic area overlooking the meadow. On-site happenings, including festival partnerships and activities in celebration of Pride, will be announced.

"If you've only been to the Filene Center, there's so much more to discover at America's only national park for the performing arts, from open meadows to wooded trails, hidden creeks and gardens. We are really looking forward to showing off the Park when it's fully activated across two days, three stages, and all 117 acres of wooded rolling hills," remarked Manocha.
