Austin Psych Fest (APF) 2025 is excited to announce the daily lineup schedule for the three day festival returning to the big South Austin backyard at The Far Out Lounge on April 25-27, 2025 – the third year at this venue and the 17th year of the fest since its inception. APF 2025 guests can expect stellar performances from indie rock icons, experimental rock and tripped-out sounds – from shoegaze to psychedelic rock and cumbia – with great fest partners, also being announced today, rounding out the offerings and making it all possible.
The event has always taken an expansive interpretation of psychedelia, exploring the outer edges of the musical spectrum that continue to be informed and inspired by 1960s sonic experimentation, and a penchant for loud guitars and plenty of reverb. This year's lineup is no different. Friday night is topped off with post-rock titans EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY, and GODSPEED! YOU BLACK EMPEROR, two artists who have conjured up wildly emotive and ethereal music, without any words - a testament to the sheer power of music. Heavy psych rockers BLACK MOUNTAIN and KADAVAR round out Day One, with Austin experimentalists OCTOPUS PROJECT and more. Saturday night brings electronic psych explorers DARKSIDE, indie icon KIM GORDON fresh off her recent Grammy nomination, the cosmic grooves of electro rock outfit STRFKR, art rock auteur GEORDIE GREEP plus WOMBO, SASAMI and more on Day Two. Day Three brings it all together with 90s guitar rock icons DINOSAUR JR playing their landmark album Without A Sound, co-headlining with beloved indie rock trio YO LA TENGO, joined by Peruvian cumbia legends LOS MIRLOS, viral UK alt rockers BÔA, Seattle quartet LA LUZ, luminary DEAN WAREHAM of GALAXIE 500 playing tracks from the band’s legendary discography, and more incredible tunes from MYSTERY LIGHTS, HOLY WAVE and more, with additional acts for the weekend to be announced.
APF 2025 wouldn’t be possible without the help of this year’s brand partners, including: Montucky Cold Snacks, Liquid Death, New Brew, Flintts Mints, EarlyBird CBD, Malibu, The Community Spirit Vodka, High Five THC Seltzer from Austin Beerworks, Twisted X Brewing Company, Del Maguey Mezcal, Home2Suites by Hilton, KUTX, and SIMS Foundation.
The full lineup and schedule for all three days of APF 2025 can be found HERE. Tickets are going fast, with THREE DAY PASSES and SINGLE DAY tickets still available HERE.

_________________
Austin Psych Fest began in 2008, as a DIY event and quickly expanded over the years into an international destination for the underground music scene. The event was rechristened LEVITATION, in a nod to the Austin’s psychedelic rock godfathers The 13th Floor Elevators. 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 honors the city’s 1960s psychedelic rock heritage and brings it into the here and now - bringing indie rock icons, experimental rock and 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 original home of psychedelic rock: Austin, Texas.
