The lineup of headlining performers has been announced for the 2025 edition of Sing Out Loud Festival, one of the largest annual music events in St. Augustine. Among the highlights of the ‘Live Wildly Showcase’ are Irish soul rock icon Hozier and Texas-born country star Maren Morris.
Also filling out the headlining announcement are Beabadoobee, Vance Joy, the Teskey Brothers, Rilo Kiley, Father John Misty, Gigi Perez, and David Kushner. The festival will be held on Saturday, September 20th and Sunday the 21st at Francis Field in St. Augustine, the event’s home for the past several years.
Admission tickets for Sing Out Loud went on-sale at 10:00 am on Friday. The festival is selling three tiers of tickets: general admission, general admission plus, and platinum. Prices range from $140 to start to $805 for the priciest options available, and are available on the event website.
As it does most years, the Sing Out Loud festival is assembling marquee names in the alternative and indie rock scene. The 2024 edition brought in Eric Church, Noah Kahan, and Norah Jones while 2023 had the Black Keys, Mumford & Sons, and Lord Huron. The 2025 headliners continue this trend with some of the most popular performers in the genre.
About the Headliners

The festival’s biggest headliner, Hozier, is fresh off his first number one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 with 2024’s “Too Sweet”. A good decade earlier he rose to prominence with a number two hit, 2014’s “Take Me to Church”. Both songs were major crossover events on the American pop charts, with the more recent being an especially unlikely sensation: it was a bonus track to Hozier’s 2024 album Unreal Unearth.
Sitting alongside Hozier at the top of the festival poster is Beabadoobee, a pop-rock performer of Filipino-British heritage. The woman behind the stage name, Beatrice Laus, first broke through in the mainstream with her song “Coffee”, which was sampled by rapper Powfu on his 2020 hit song “Death Bed (Coffee for Your Head)”, aided by massive circulation on TikTok. Building off this popularity, Beabadoobee quickly became a highly regarded up-and-comer in the indie music scene.
Among the most recognizable names on the list is Maren Morris, a Grammy-winning country singer with multiple hits on American pop radio. Morris’ 2016 debut album Hero produced the single “My Church”, which rated as Billboard’s eighth biggest country song of the year. In 2018 she sang lead on the electro-pop song “The Middle”, alongside Zedd and Grey. Likely Morris’ most well-known song, “The Middle” peaked at #5 in the United States.
Australian singer-songwriter Vance Joy is known to many for his smash 2013 hit “Riptide”, which became an instant staple of ukulele performers globally. Seattle’s Father John Misty departed the folk group Fleet Foxes in the 2010’s to launch a critically-acclaimed solo career that combined acoustic arrangements with pointed satirical lyricism.
