“American Idol” and “The Voice” alum Allegra Miles is set to perform at her first-ever festival in 2023.

Miles posted the announcement on Instagram on December 20, 2022.

“My first festival,” she wrote. “@okeechobeefest friday march 3. beyond surreal, i am so so so grateful.”

Okeechobee Music Festival takes place March 2 through 5 at Sunshine Grove in Okeechobee, Florida. Miles is performing on Friday, the same day that features artists like Lil Yachty, Goose, Hippo Campus, The Jungle Giants and Free Nationals. The headliners for the festival are Excision on Thursday, March 2, Odesza on Friday, March 3, Griz on Saturday, March 4, and Baby Keem on Sunday, March 5.

Miles, 19, competed on “The Voice” season 18 alongside coach Nick Jonas when she was 17 years old. She made it through to the live playoffs before being eliminated. She was also a contestant on “American Idol” season 20 and made it through to the top 14 before being voted off, which led some fans to say she was “robbed” of a spot further on in the competition.


Miles Recorded a Song to Benefit Cancer Research

Miles announced on Instagram on December 28, 2022, that she recorded the new song for nonprofit The V Foundation, which funds cancer research.

“I am beyond honored and grateful to get to sing the new @thevfoundation anthem, on behalf of @espn and @diesnymusic,” she wrote in the post. “This incredible organization has been moving mountains in cancer research for over 30 years, and is making huge strides to a future where cancer is obsolete. Be on the lookout for the song on ESPN.”

She added that she was “so grateful” for the opportunity to record the song.

The video alongside Miles’ announcement features some of the history of the foundation as well as what the foundation has been working on now.
