SEPTEMBER 10-13 ACROSS AUSTIN, TEXAS

4 DAY PASSES & SINGLE SHOW TICKETS ON SALE HERE

Austin’s trailblazing festival LEVITATION is set to bring another epic four days of music and art to the city’s Red River District, East Side venues, and beyond on September 10–13. For nearly two decades LEVITATION has delivered lineups spanning psych, dream pop, punk, indie, metal, darkwave, and electronic music. It’s a beloved record collection manifested as a four-day weekend: a heady amalgamation of vintage gear, immersive light shows and visuals, buzzing amps, moody synths, and good times in Austin, Texas.

This year LEVITATION returns to the multi-venue format, encouraging fans to choose their own adventure throughout the weekend–grab single-show tickets for over 20 shows announced, or go all in with a 4-Day Pass and experience the full festival.

Radio/East will serve as the festival’s central hub, featuring an expanded two-stage layout, while LEVITATION’s intimate late-night and club shows continue across Red River and throughout Austin.

With LEVITATION 2026 kicking off one month from today across Austin, the festival announces this year’s partners, including Marshall, Montucky Cold Snacks, Espolòn, White Claw, Liquid Death, Rythm, Señorita, Twisted X Brewing, Austin Live Music Fund, goodwipes, SAD Eyewear, Gold Rush Vinyl, KUTX, and The LINE Hotel. LEVITATION is grateful to these partners for their ongoing support of Austin’s longest-running independent music festival!

Marshall takes over Mohawk September 10–13 with a special activation celebrating the limited-edition Marshall x Hendrix™ 60th Anniversary Collection and Jimi Hendrix’s enduring influence on music. Alongside nightly LEVITATION performances, fans can experience the collection firsthand, plus live screen printing, a record pop-up and listening station, photo booth, Hendrix-inspired cocktails, and merch giveaways.

Longtime partner Montucky Cold Snacks returns with the Yeehaw Inn! to LEVITATION, complete with its signature patio lounge, cold drinks, and plenty of chill.
