“How psyched are y’all?” “We’re so psyched to be here!” We’d missed out on such onstage banter in the since-2015 gap after Austin Psych Fest rebranded to Levitation.
But with South Austin’s Far Out Lounge & Stage as a willing two-stage host, the OG event relaunched last year, getting everyone psyched up all over again. Round two managed to narrowly avoid any storm cancellations and hold down an organized three-day roster of established indie rock and pop, not quite as experimental as the expansive multi-venue main event on Halloweekend, but with no set time overlaps.
