RippleFest Texas 2026

RippleFest Texas comes to The Far Out Lounge & Stage on Friday, September 18, and Saturday, September 19, for two days of heavy music. Presented by Lick of My Spoon Productions, the festival bills itself as "the world's biggest and best Family Reunion of the year," and the lineup is built around the heavier end of the spectrum. The bills for the two days are Howling Giant, Greenleaf, Khemmis, and Yob.

One of the things that sets this apart from a lot of small festivals is the scheduling: the organizers promise absolutely zero band overlap across the two days. That means you don't have to choose between two sets starting at the same time—you can catch everything without missing a beat. If you're only around for one of the dates, you'll still get a good slice of the lineup, but the full run gives you the whole picture.

The venue is The Far Out Lounge & Stage, over at 8504 South Congress Avenue, which the organizers call the best venue in Austin. It's an all-ages event, so it's as much for the younger crowd as it is for the regulars. Just a heads-up before you buy: tickets are non-refundable, so make sure your dates are clear before you commit.

Both days run from 3 PM to 11:59 PM, so it's a long haul from mid-afternoon well into the night. If you're planning to stay for the whole thing, you'll want to pace yourself. You can grab a two-day pass at Eventbrite to cover both dates.
