Levitation Freakend Friday in Photos

Leave a comment

When the Levitation team made to the decision to move the fest back to being a single site festival atmosphere, the Haloween adjacent tradition was broken. BUT, they had a plan. Why not pick another location and kick off a mini-fest for the costume wearing concert-goers and put together a lineup that would bring out the best in humanity? Heh.

I was able to hit Friday’s lineup, and it was pretty stacked. Viagra Boys made a triumphant return to Austin, first time in nearly seven years. Add to that Stereolab (another first time in a long time), Black Lips, J’cuzzi and Bitchin Bajas.

All the photos and a few random thoughts after the jump.

Halloween Freakend

Leave a comment

Festival season is pretty relentless. Coming off of Levitation, two weekends of ACL, F1, Austin should be entirely exhasted by now, but there is no rest for the wicked; tis the spooky season, after all.

Halloween Freakend is Friday and Saturday. The Levitation team has put together a great lineup for two days of partying down at The Far Out Lounge. On the agenda?

Friday’s GA is fully sold out, but if you already have tix, you will be getting your face melted in a two very different flavors with Stereolab and Viagra Boys on the Main Stage. It has been a hot minute since I’ve seen Black Lips (or any of their buttcheeks), so I am looking forward to it. Rounding out the earlier sets will be Bitchin’ Bahas and J’cuzzi. Check out your options for Deluxe two day; treat yourself.

Saturday also looks super rad. Porcelain and Haha Laughing will start things off and then you will transend all space and time with a set from Black Moth Auper Rainbow. A big dose of “Windshield Smasher” is just what I want from any fest. Lip Critic, Clown Core with Machine Girl to closes you out. GA for Saturday is still available. That is a ton of music for your dollar; we all need a little help right now.

Did I mention there was a costume contest both nights?

Levitation 2025 Tickets

Leave a comment

Hey all, quick reminder that we are getting down to the wire for Levitation 2025 tickets. In fact, if you want to sample the posh life, there are a few Deluxe passes for Friday that were just released. I mean, it’s fancy – express entry, private bar, lounge, elevated stage viewing. Treat yourself, right?

TGIF.

People are definitely down to see how this new venue and layout will work. Big opportunity to create a new home for the festival going forward that is still bolstered by a really solid schedule of pre-fest and aftershow around Red River. I got to see TVOTR at Kilby Block Party, best set I’ve seen from them ever, so looking forward to how a very differnt vibe that the team at Levitation provides will stack up.

Austin Psych Fest Returns This April

Leave a comment

After a brief break, then transitioning to Levitation, Austin Psych Fest made its return last year; they’ve slimmed it down and made it two action packed days of psychedelic jams for the masses. Today they’ve announced the new lineup, and the headliners are surely going to turn heads. You’ve got Explosions in the Sky and Godspeed at the top…also Yo La Tengo and Kim Gordon, but I want you to remember that the bottom of the bill is where the folks at Resound and Levitation excel. I mean, Dummy put out one of the best records last year, and I still feel like the cool kids haven’t quite caught on yet. Oh, and Dean Wareham is going to do a Galaxie 500 set! This is going to be bonkers, so get your tickets now while you can! The fest goes on from April 25- 27; grab tickets right HERE. Brought to you by Levitation and Resound Presents.

Today now marks just one short week away from Levitation Festival kicking off in downtown Austin on Halloween night and running through the weekend.

Levitation Lineup & Tickets 2024

Leave a comment

We have long been singing the praises of Levitation Festival as the absolute best music festival in town. The lineup always trends towards things we dig, the venues are mostly killer, and the ease of hopping from venue to venue can’t be beat. Things are going down again in late October/Early November and we are super pumped to share out the stellar lineup with breakdown by day. Once again, the lineup stands out as tops with a little something for everyone – indie stalwarts like The Drums and Death Valley Girls, electronic beats from Tycho and Washed Out, and of course local legends like Black Angels, The Sword and even The Jesus Lizard! Full lineup is over on that fancy poster or via the Levitation 2024 website. It’s sure to be another great time. Tickets are on sale now.
