LEVITATION Announces HALLOWEEN FREAKEND Lineup: V*agra Boys, Stereolab, Machine Girl, Black Lips, Lip Critic & More

LEVITATION is excited to follow up its recently announced LEVITATION 2025 festival lineup – taking place in the heart of Austin, Texas on September 25-28 – with HALLOWEEN FREAKEND. This event features two stacked bills presented in partnership with Resound at The Far Out Lounge. Tickets for this event are available for purchase starting Tuesday, July 1 at the link HERE. 

For five years, the annual LEVITATION festival has fallen on or right around Halloween weekend – and gearing up for a weekend of trippy music while in costume has become a spooky tradition for many Austin music fans. HALLOWEEN FREAKEND fills that void for Halloween 2025 – offering two nights of psychedelia, garage and experimental rock at The Far Out Lounge. Interested attendees are encouraged to get their tickets early, start planning costumes, and grab their concert-going ghouls for two wild nights in Austin, Texas.

About LEVITATION

Founded in 2008 as Austin Psych Fest by members of The Black Angels and friends, the independent event sparked a movement, inspiring the creation of similar events across the globe. Austin Psych Fest was renamed LEVITATION in honor of Austin’s psychedelic rock pioneers The 13th Floor Elevators, who reunited and performed at LEVITATION 2015 for the band’s 50th anniversary. The event has stayed true to its original mission – to be a hub for the psych rock scene – while expanding into the worlds of metal, electronic music, punk, and all manner of independent and underground music.

Through Austin’s famed music venues and live music scene, co-producers Resound Presents, and a host of collaborators and friends from Austin and beyond, the event continues to be a pillar of the global music scene. LEVITATION fosters a thriving community, pushes genre boundaries, and continues to shape the cultural landscape of Austin as a hub for cutting-edge and alternative sounds. 

LEVITATION 2025 will bring an epic 4-day weekend of music and art to its new central home of Palmer Events Center in the heart of downtown Austin, with Night Show programming keeping the spirit of the fest alive on Red River. The 2025 lineup is an eclectic, genre-spanning showcase of psych rock, metal, punk, electronica, indie rock and all things in between – a celebration of independent music and art in a new venue format with more in store. 

AUSTIN PSYCH FEST returned in April 2023 celebrating its 15 year anniversary with a 3 day throwback to the original multi-stage, single venue format. APF is here to stay, with the next edition scheduled for May 8-10, 2026. Austin Psych Fest honors the city’s 1960s psychedelic rock heritage and brings it into the here and now – bringing tripped-out sounds to an appropriately laid-back South Austin setting.

LEVITATION FRANCE celebrated its 11th year in 2024, and returns June 27 & 28 with a new lake-side venue in Angers, FR. The festival brings LEVITATION’s signature sights and sounds to this idyllic riverside city in the Loire Valley, in partnership with Radical Production. 

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.
