"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," explains LEVITATION co-founder and festival director Rob Fitzpatrick.
"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."
Tickets are available here.
