The Fat Angel Sings

Levitation Festival has released the line up for the twelfth installment of their Austin, TX celebration slated for this years’ Halloween weekend. The festival will kick off on Wednesday, Oct. 27th, and carry on through the week into Hallos’ Eve.

Like previous years, Levitation fest will take place in multiple venues across the city’s downtown Red River Cultural District and East Side – including world-renowned venues such as Stubb’s, Mohawk, Empire, Hotel Vegas, Cheer Up Charlies, Central Presbyterian Church and more. The long weekend of special performances feature line ups that span decades and continents.

The festival was founded in 2008 by members of The Black Angels and originally called Austin Psych Fest, but was renamed Levitation in honour of Austin’s psychedelic rock pioneers, The 13th Floor Elevators.

“We’re excited to see live music coming back, and looking forward to seeing everyone in Austin for another epic weekend of music and art in Austin, TX,” wrote Levitation fest and the Reverberation Appreciation Society in a press release, “As shows and events come back to our beloved venues and art spaces, safety procedures will continue to evolve and we will work with our venues and health officials to offer clear guidelines for attendees. It’s gonna be Halloween weekend, so masks are encouraged regardless.”
