Since rebranding from Psych Fest to the less specific Levitation festival nearly a decade ago, Austin’s annual Halloween-weekend music convention has seen its lineups expand in scope over the years nearly as dramatically as the fest’s patrons have begun embracing the Spooky Season’s call to go all-out on a costume that couldn’t possibly be picked off the rack of the nearest Spirit location. While still leaning into the psychedelic spirit of the long-running event, artists like Soccer Mommy, Washed Out, Slowdive, and The Drums—not to mention a sleaze-revival set from The Dare—shaped the landscape of Levitation 2024.
FLOOD photographer Kenn Box was once again in attendance after documenting the festival last year, taking in sets from some of the event’s most exciting young acts like julie, Wisp, Fat Dog, Frost Children, Fcukers, and more across Levitation’s four days, along with more established favorites like illuminati hotties, Special Interest, and Death Valley Girls. Check out highlights from these sets, the general festival atmosphere, and more below.
