Levitation celebrates 10 groundbreaking years with its return to downtown Austin, TX for 2018. For the past ten years, the independent gathering has grown from a small word-of-mouth event to an internationally acclaimed, full weekend destination — offering once-in-a-lifetime lineups with programming spanning continents and decades.
Levitation takes over Austin’s Red River District on Thursday, April 26 through Sunday, April 29. Venues include Stubb’s, The Mohawk, Barracuda, Empire Control Room, Cheer Up Charlies, Emo’s and more. 2018 will utilize the Austin clubs that have helped cultivate the city’s unique and legendary music scene – bringing a more intimate experience, with longer sets from headliners alongside all the conveniences of the city.
