An Immersive Experience Like No Other
Austin Psych Fest has always been about pushing the boundaries of psychedelia, pulling from the ’60s experimental spirit and amplifying it with modern sonic exploration. This year’s lineup is stacked with genre-defying artists, heavy hitters, and underground pioneers who embrace big guitars, cosmic synths, and mind-bending reverb.
Friday kicks off with an unforgettable night of instrumental magic as EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY and GODSPEED YOU! BLACK EMPEROR conjure up ethereal, emotion-driven soundscapes. They’re joined by heavy psych-rockers BLACK MOUNTAIN and KADAVAR, with local experimentalists OCTOPUS PROJECT adding an extra layer of trippy sonics.
Saturday dives deep into electronic psych, featuring DARKSIDE’s mesmerizing beats, KIM GORDON fresh off her Grammy nomination, the synth-heavy grooves of STRFKR, and art-rock provocateur GEORDIE GREEP. Expect dazzling sets from WOMBO, SASAMI, and more.
Sunday brings it all home with DINOSAUR JR performing their seminal album Without A Sound, co-headlining with indie darlings YO LA TENGO. Also joining the mix are UK alt-rock risers BÔA, legendary Peruvian cumbia band LOS MIRLOS, and shoegaze-drenched bliss from LA LUZ. DEAN WAREHAM of Galaxie 500 will be playing select tracks from the band’s iconic catalog, alongside sets from THE MYSTERY LIGHTS, HOLY WAVE, and more.

THE LEGACY OF AUSTIN PSYCH FEST & LEVITATION
Austin Psych Fest began in 2008 as a DIY celebration of the underground psych scene, growing into an internationally recognized festival. The event was later rebranded as LEVITATION in honor of Austin’s psychedelic rock pioneers, The 13th Floor Elevators.After a successful 15-year anniversary return in 2023, APF continues to thrive as a springtime gathering of sonic explorers, setting the stage for LEVITATION each fall.
Since its inception, APF has been a hub for indie, psych, metal, shoegaze, dream pop, and beyond, celebrating the legacy of sonic pioneers while showcasing cutting-edge artists who keep the experimental spirit alive.
What’s Next?
LEVITATION 2025 returns September 25-27, bringing another immersive multi-day event to Austin with legendary lineups and unforgettable performances. LEVITATION FRANCE 2025 will mark its 12th edition in Angers, France, June 27-28, expanding to a new and larger venue. The Reverberation Appreciation Society continues to curate live sessions, vinyl releases, and must-have merch.
