In a vibrant celebration of queer artistry and music, Trixie Mattel took center stage at the first-ever OUTLOUD Music Festival in Boston. The beloved drag personality delivered a high-energy DJ set on June 21 at The Stage at Suffolk Downs, captivating an enthusiastic outdoor audience. Her performance was elevated by appearances from local drag performers who joined her on stage, ensuring the crowd remained fully immersed in the electric atmosphere. Alongside Mattel, the festival showcased talents like Kim Petras, Flo Milli, Rebecca Black, and a host of other rising stars in the LGBTQ+ music scene.

The event marked another milestone for OUTLOUD, an influential LGBTQ+ music platform launched in 2020. With a mission to elevate queer voices through immersive live experiences, OUTLOUD has rapidly become a cultural force within the entertainment industry. Its programming includes pop-up tours, intimate shows, and its signature annual gathering, the OUTLOUD Music Festival held during WeHo Pride in West Hollywood.

Boston’s debut of the festival highlighted the brand’s growing reach and commitment to inclusivity. By bringing together both mainstream and underground queer artists, the daylong event offered attendees a dynamic musical journey. Trixie Mattel’s presence added a touch of glamour and humor, perfectly aligning with the festival’s goal of creating spaces where LGBTQ+ expression thrives.

The collaboration between national headliners and local talent underscored OUTLOUD’s emphasis on community while delivering top-tier performances. As the sun set over Suffolk Downs, the festival became more than just a concert—it transformed into a collective celebration of identity, resilience, and artistic freedom. With this successful launch in Boston, the future looks bright for further expansion of the OUTLOUD experience across the country.
