The 2025 LEVITATION festival will take place September 25–28 at its new venue, the Palmer Events Center in Austin, TX. Acts announced include Mastodon, Acid Bath, Pavement, Blood Incantation, The Sword, and many more.
In addition to the main events at Palmer Events Center, nightly LEVITATION 2025 shows will hit venues like Stubb’s, Mohawk, Elysium, Kingdom, 29th St Ballroom, 13th Floor, and more.
Co-founder Rob Fitzpatrick shared the following:
We’ve been searching for the right location to bring a multi-stage experience back to ‘Levitation’ for years, and we found it right downtown. The venue offers a huge upgrade in production overall with endless possibilities for the visual experience, and great amenities – air conditioning, nice bathrooms, ample parking, a giant shaded outdoor courtyard, along with the production infrastructure needed for a world-class show.
All of that in a beautiful park in the heart of the city, and the proximity to downtown means we’re still able to host shows in our Red River venues; these clubs are the heart and soul of our music scene in Austin and it wouldn’t be ‘Levitation’ without them. We’re very excited to create something remarkable and built to last in this new home for the festival, and we can’t wait to experience this lineup with everyone in September.
