Indie pop duo Haute & Freddy are riding high since the release of their debut album ‘Big Disgrace’ that was released in March. August 2026. Noted for the colorful production, synthpop leanings and 80s aesthetics, the album highlights the duo’s strong songwriting sensibilities and sonics that make for a perfect combination for a fun and memorable live interpretation.
“I think that me letting go of needing to be in music professionally really helped me write from a really honest place cause I was just having fun. – Haute of Haute & Freddy”
Ever since the album release, Haute & Freddy have been actively touring the summer festival circuit, delivering high-energy sets to rapidly growing audiences from Lollapalooza, Hinterland and Lightning in a Bottle. Their Outside Lands debut this year brought in an energetic and large crowd during their early timeslot. Many in the crowd knew many of the band’s early releases, while the more recent and popular songs like “Scantily Clad” and “Freaks” had the audience dancing and singing along. The entertainment factor was on full display, as the duo acted out various scenes in full costume. It was an impressive performance more than worthy of the praise that pop icon Lady Gaga recently shared on her social media when she turned 40 and gave a shout-out to Haute & Freddy. The acknowledgment inspiring them to get “extra freaky” during their writing session at the time, “one of my heroes is like loving our album—like, be extra freaky in the writing this week,” noted Freddy. The pair continues touring throughout the fall with many headline dates already sold-out.
Haute & Freddy spoke with B-Sides host Pete Mar about performing at Outside Lands 2026, their growth, influence and inspiration from Lady Gaga, who posted about them during her 40th birthday celebration and more.
