Marking two months to the festival, AUSTIN PSYCH FEST has announced lineup additions + kick off parties!
The news follows LEVITATION winning Best Festival in The Austin Chronicle’s Music Awards, as voted by the Austin public, taking home the top fest award for the 3rd year in a row ahead of music festival juggernauts like SXSW and ACL Fest.
LEVITATION follows up their award winning Halloween festival with AUSTIN PSYCH FEST this Spring, a throwback to the event’s 1960s psychedelic rock inspired beginnings, and showcasing an eclectic and diverse lineup of psychedelic rock, dream pop, and indie rock.
The weekend kicks off with a night stacked high with local legends of Latin psych, Afrobeat, jazz and good vibes: GOLDEN DAWN ARKESTRA • CARAMELO HAZE • JARON MARSHALL (of BLACK PUMAS) • CAZAYOUX • THE POINT taking over two stages at Empire, plus an evening of classic psych / garage with CHRISTIAN BLAND & THE REVELATORS (of The Black Angels) and GUS BALDWIN & THE SKETCH at 13th Floor. Both shows are free with a Deluxe 3 Day Pass!
Two Friday night shows have been announced - Montreal noise punks METZ return to Austin for an APF night show on April 26 with GOUGE AWAY at Parish, and indie rockers JOY AGAIN and LUNA LI co-headline Empire Control Room.
SWEEPING PROMISES lead up a list of new lineup additions for the lineup on the festival grounds at The Far Out Lounge, along with local talent ALEX MAAS, THOR & FRIENDS, LARGE BRUSH COLLECTION and VAN MARY.

AUSTIN PSYCH FEST will be held April 26-28, 2024, in its original single location format and Spring timeframe with an intimate setting and two stage lineup at South Austin’s The Far Out Lounge – an outdoor venue with a 100 year history. Austin Psych Fest brings the old school vibe of the original event back outdoors and under the stars and oak trees in the venue's sprawling backyard. The lineup offers up an international slate of psych rock, dream pop, and indie rock, with a nod to the 1960s golden era of psychedelia and an eye toward the future. The trees, stage, and venue will be drenched and dripping in the liquid light and visuals of a host of visual artists and video projectionists from Austin and beyond.
3 DAY PASSES & SINGLE DAY TIX AVAILABLE HERE
KICK OFF & NIGHT SHOW TIX AVAILABLE HERE
Austin Psych Fest began in 2008, as a DIY event produced by The Black Angels and friends, and quickly expanded over the years into an international destination for the underground music scene. The event was renamed LEVITATION, in a nod to the Austin’s psychedelic rock godfathers The 13th Floor Elevators, who reunited to play the event in 2015. 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 - bringing an intimate gathering on the Spring side of the calendar, and LEVITATION in the Fall. APF is here to stay, taking over The Far Out Lounge the weekend of APRIL 26-28, 2024. APF 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.
Since Austin Psych Fest’s inception, organizers have sought to create a thriving center for the independent music scene locally and internationally, in the home of psychedelic rock: Austin, Texas.
