Presented by Antone’s Nightclub, this year’s roots music festival doubles as a 50th anniversary tribute to Austin’s premier blues venue. Antone’s regulars Jackie Venson and Sue Foley, plus soul songstress Sir Woman and funk collective Grandmaster, lead the local contingent for the 2025 event, while guitar prodigy Christone “Kingfish” Ingram and legendary R&B/soul/gospel singer Mavis Staples headline Saturday and Sunday, respectively. In honor of the tenacious club’s golden jubilee, a slew of Antone’s All-Stars – Ian Moore and Kam Franklin on Day 1, Jimmie Vaughan and Gary Clark Jr. on Day 2 – lead special jam sessions to highlight the blues’ ever-evolving, collaborative spirit. – Carys Anderson
