Levitation 2026

LEVITATION returns to Austin from September 10 to 13, 2026, as a psychedelic music and art festival that blends punk, rock, emo, psych and electronic music across four days. The 2026 edition spreads across the Red River Cultural District and East Austin, with RADIO/EAST serving as the festival's central hub in an expanded two-stage layout. From there, more than 20 shows are staged at venues around the city.

That list of venues reads like a tour of the local scene: Stubb's, Mohawk, Empire, Elysium, 29th St. Ballroom, The 13th Floor, and Kingdom are all in the mix, with more added across the Red River Cultural District and East Austin. With RADIO/EAST as the hub, you can spend your days moving between the main stages and the smaller rooms scattered around the neighborhood.

Among the acts confirmed for this year are Bikini Kill, Sleep, Molchat Doma, American Football, and Die Spitz. The lineup pulls from a few different corners—punk, psych, emo, and electronic—so you can build your own version of the festival depending on what you're in the mood for. If you're mostly interested in the hub, there are three-day RADIO/EAST passes available, or you can pick and choose with single-show tickets.

Most four-day passes are already sold out, so if you're planning to be here for the whole run, you'll want to look at those three-day and single-show options sooner rather than later. The festival runs September 10 through 13, with RADIO/EAST as the home base and the rest of the shows spread across the Red River Cultural District and East Austin.
