Austin’s homegrown psych-rock festival Levitation took over its new home at the Palmer Events Center this past weekend. Shifting from a solely club-format experience, this year Levitation was held at the 130,000+ square foot event center with both inside and outside stages. While boasting festival headliners including Pavement, TV on the Radio, and Mastodon, the fest also maintained its gritty night component with a slew of evening shows that saw a range of acts from The Dandy Warhols to darkwave duo Boy Harsher.

Here’s a look at the coverage over five days of shows from FLOOD photographer Kenn Box (and a special shoutout to Pooneh Ghana for the photos of Pavement). And don’t miss the gallery at the bottom of the post with more shots of the style on the ground at Levitation 2025.
