OUT.FEST 2022 continues the tradition of making full use of the various venues in Barreiro, with a special spotlight on the opening concert, which marks the first time that the festival extends to the historic and emblematic CP train workshops, one of the 10 different stages that will host the event throughout the 4 days.

Three new names have been announced for the 18th edition of OUT.FEST – Barreiro International Exploratory Music Festival, which will take place between October 5th and 8th, with close to thirty concerts taking place in various different venues throughout the city centre.

The North-American AMIRTHA KIDAMBI will present her quartet ELDER ONES, an acclaimed formation that crosses contemporary jazz with the Indian influences and roots of its leader, while the Australian percussionist WILL GUTHRIE will be accompanied by the Parisian ensemble NIST-NAH, where together they will pay homage and build new worlds of sound via the traditional gamelan from Indonesia. Meanwhile, the British DAVID TOOP will make a rare live appearance, bringing with him more than four decades of his repertoire as a musician, writer and thinker of music, sound and listening in its multiple facets. Beyond the concerts, these artists will take part in open talks with the public about the work they bring to the festival as part of REMAIIN, a European project organised by entities from four countries, whose purpose is to showcase extra-European influences in current and historic avant-garde music.

A reminder that OUT.FEST has announced thirteen other names in the beginning of July, which include the Japanese PHEW,, the North-Americans NICOLE MITCHELL and PRISON RELIGION, as well as the Portuguese SEREIAS and LUÍS FERNANDES.
