Since its inception in 2008 by members of The Black Angels, Austin Psych Fest has been a cornerstone of the global psychedelic music scene. Renamed LEVITATION in 2015 to honor Austin’s psychedelic pioneers The 13th Floor Elevators, the festival has evolved into a biannual event, with LEVITATION taking place in the fall and Austin Psych Fest in the spring. The event’s return to its roots in 2023 brought a renewed focus on the intimate, single-venue format that fans adore.
Presented in collaboration with Resound Presents, Austin Psych Fest isn’t just about the music—it’s a celebration of art and creativity. From record released by The Reverberation Appreciation Society to curated merchandise and exclusive live albums, the festival fosters a thriving community of fans and artists alike.
