LEVITATION returns to Austin, Texas September 10–13, 2026. The music and art festival will take place in the city’s Red River District, East Side venues, and beyond. 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 the city. Additions will be added, including a secret Sunday headliner to be announced soon!

Today, the festival is sharing the 2026 lineup, a 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.

he 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.

THE REVERBERATION APPRECIATION SOCIETY (RVRB), the record label and creative collective that started the original event, has released records by key bands in the psych and garage rock scene, and kicked off its Live at Levitation archive series in 2021 with live releases from King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Kikagaku Moyo, The Black Angels, Primal Scream and more. Levitation Sessions, the imprint’s live album + film series, captures bands like Osees, Windhand, Ty Segall, SLIFT, Death Valley Girls and more, performing in unique locations and pressed to limited edition vinyl. RVRB’s online shop offers an ever-expanding selection of limited edition vinyl from other labels, guitar pedals, turntables, art prints, one of a kind tie-dyes, and more.
