Soul'd Out Music Festival at Roseland Theater, Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, Crystal Ballroom, Wonder Ballroom, Dante's, Star Theater, Revolution Hall, Holocene, Mississippi Studios, Doug Fir Lounge, and Goodfoot Lounge

We may need a healthy dose of revitalizing soul more than ever this year. Returning for its eighth year, Soul’d Out is not just soul music—this is five nights of soulful music from artists with meaningful messages, most often set to decidedly groovable beats. Whether it’s the activist hip-hop of Dead Prez, body-warming electropop from Shura, the funk apostle Cory Henry, or an all-out assault on your senses and sensibilities by NOLA bounce queen Big Freedia, this multi-venue bill combines diverse headliners with hometown talent like Myke Bogan, Edna Vazquez, Andy Stokes, Moorea Masa, Coco Columbia, Blossom, Orquestra Pacifico Tropical, Risky Star, Cherimoya, Mat Randol and GLASYS. Don’t miss the dynamic Solange empowering with psychedelic R&B, Farnell Newton’s tribute to The Purple One, or living legends in the Ohio Players and electronic dance pioneer Giorgio Moroder.
