"Mind-blowing musical performances and breathtaking West Texas Hill Country sunsets await next fall in Burnet, TX. Presented in a natural amphitheater in Reveille Peak Ranch, UTOPiAfest offers a true alternative and full on escape from the large multiple-stage festivals that often favor quantity over a quality audience experience. UTOPiAfest encompasses the best aspects of the festival experience; Great performances, musical discovery, quality time with new and old friends, tasty food and enjoyable activities. It also minimizes the worst parts about going to a big music festival; claustrophobia, expensive beer and food, lines, walking miles to camp, paying to camp or park, etc."

"Founded in 2008 as Austin Psych Fest, by members of The Black Angels and friends, the independent event sparked a movement, inspiring the creation of similar events across the globe. Austin Psych Fest was renamed LEVITATION 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. In 2018, LEVITATION returned to its downtown Austin roots – creating a walkable, intimate and community-focused event that showcases the city’s world renowned music venues."
