The sixth annual Freakout Festival finalized its lineup Tuesday, with new additions including Seattle hiphop mavericks Shabazz Palaces, Brian Jonestown Massacre maracas specialist Joel Gion (doing a DJ set), R&B futurist SassyBlack, rising bilingual rock dynamos Tres Leches, brash LA garage-rockers Deap Vally, local bedroom-pop queen Lisa Prank, dreamy Olympia dance act TransFX, and many more. Run by Skyler Locatelli, Guy Keltner, and Nathan Casey of the Seattle-based Freakout Records label, the fest takes place at several venues in Ballard on November 16-17.

This year looks like an ambitious mix of interesting out-of-towners and local standouts, with acts coming in from the UK (Tempesst) and Mexico (Los Blenders, Los Mundos, Los Honey Rockets). Freakout Fest also has added select all-ages shows. You can purchase tickets here.

While we're talking about Shabazz Palaces, you may want to check out "Quazarz on 23rd," a beyond-the-beyond, new short film directed by Black Constellation member Nep Sidhu from their 2017 LP, Quazarz Vs. the Jealous Machines.
