LEVITATION returns to Austin, Texas September 10–13, 2026, bringing another epic four-day weekend of music and art to the city’s Red River District, East Side venues, and beyond.
The festival is excited to share the 2026 lineup, which is an eclectic, genre-spanning showcase of psych rock, punk, metal, darkwave, indie rock, electronic music, and everything in between–a celebration of independent music and art from across generations.
Radio/East will serve as the festival’s central hub, featuring an expanded two-stage layout, while LEVITATION’s beloved late-night and club shows continue across Red River and throughout Austin.
For over a decade, 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.
The multi-venue format encourages fans to choose their own adventure throughout the weekend–grab single-show tickets for over 20 shows announced so far, or go all in with a 4-Day Pass and experience the full festival.
4-Day Passes and Single Show Tickets are available now here.
Additional will be added, including a secret Sunday headliner to be announced soon! For updates and additional information, follow LEVITATION on Instagram here.
