LEVITATION 2019

Founded in 2008, LEVITATION was named in honor of Austin’s psychedelic rock pioneers The 13th Floor Elevators, who reunited and performed at LEVITATION 2015 for the band’s 50th anniversary. This walkable, intimate, community-focused event showcases the city’s world renowned music venues. Following up a massive weekend of sold-out shows in 2018, LEVITATION 2019 will expand and further explore the possibilities and creative opportunities in Austin’s diverse Red River District and East Side venues and art spaces.

In addition to the flagship event in Austin, the group has curated LEVITATION events in France, Chicago and Vancouver. Also curating events in Austin, special events and showcases at Mexico City’s NRMAL, The Netherlands’ Le Guess Who and a massive annual LEVITATION showcase at SXSW. LEVITATION France celebrated its 6th year on September 2018, in Angers, FR – the largest event of its kind in Europe. Since 2010, The Reverberation Appreciation Society record label has released records by key bands in the psych and garage rock scene like Night Beats, Holy Wave, Ringo Deathstarr and many more – with new releases on the horizon.
