In sound and setting, change is the word for this psychedelic-rooted music festival. Back to a multi-venue format following an ACL-style tryout at the Palmer Events Center in 2025, Levitation sets its main camp at the Far Out Lounge – Bikini Kill, Die Spitz, Gibby Haynes, Molchat Doma, Peter Hook, Sleep, and more perform at the South Austin stage across four days – while also returning to the Red River Cultural District for individually ticketed performances by punk experimentalists the Garden, costumed prog rockers Angine de Poitrine, indigenous trance duo Los Thuthanaka, indie-pop darling Arlo Parks, and more. A music-loving club-hopper’s dream. – Carys Anderson
