Freakout 2025

Freakout is a 4-day music festival that takes place at multiple venues around the Ballard & Fremont neighborhoods of Seattle in late Autumn. Established in 2013, it grew out of the local scene's punk house parties. Its focus is primarily punk, garage and psych rock, but includes other genres, e.g., hip-hop, especially among local performers. It also has an international bent, especially with regard to Mexican and South American acts, but also with significant European representation in its lineups. For 2025 Alaskan artists are also featured. Also of note is that this festival is an incredible bargain at just $78.28 all in.

Venues for 2025 are Salmon Bay Eagles Club, Tractor Tavern, Sunset Tavern, Conor Byrne, Ballard Smoke Shop, Cathedral, Nectar Lounge and Hidden Hall.
