Levitation 2023 has expanded with the addition of two of Austin’s newest independent venues: electronic music destination The Concourse Project, and South Austin’s outdoor, multi-stage event center The Far Out Lounge, where Austin Psych Fest was held in April. These new locations are in addition to the festival’s traditional Red River and East Side venues, including the festival’s downtown main stage Stubb’s, and Red River and Eastside staples Mohawk, Empire, Hotel Vegas, Elysium, Parish, Antone’s and 13th Floor.

New additions include BADBADNOTGOOD and DJ Shadow joining forces on the Sunday night, headlining a two stage lineup featuring Armand Hammer, Fat Tony + more. The Saturday lineup at Empire has been announced, with Pelican, King Woman, Uniform, Skeleton and Glassing tearing up two stages presented with Austin heavy and experimental music specialists Oblivion Access.
