LEVITATION 2026 MIGHT HAVE THE MOST INSANELY CURATED LINEUP OF THE YEAR

LEVITATION just dropped its 2026 lineup and once again proved nobody curates a festival quite like them.

Set for September 10 through 13 in Austin, Texas, this year’s fest is all over the map in the best way possible. Punk legends, post punk gloom, psych rock freakouts, doom riffs, industrial chaos, shoegaze haze, synth weirdness, noise rock destruction, it’s all here.

The lineup includes heavy hitters like Bikini Kill and American Football, while the undercard gets equally insane with names like Makeout Reef and El Ten Eleven.

Honestly, reading the lineup feels like digging through the coolest record store on Earth while someone passes you a lava lamp. You dig?

That’s always been the magic of LEVITATION, though. The festival doesn’t really care what’s trending or what’s getting pushed by algorithms. It’s built for people who genuinely obsess over music and want to discover something strange, loud, hypnotic, or life-changing at 1 a.m. inside some sweaty Austin venue.

And somehow, despite jumping between hardcore, psych, industrial, doom, shoegaze, indie rock, and electronic music, the lineup still feels cohesive. It’s less “festival” and more “four-day musical fever dream.”

4-day passes and single show tickets are on sale NOW. Start hydrating y’all.
