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

October 28, 2025 brian.gray 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?
