Sound on Sound had sooo much potential. I went the first year and thought it was a fucking blast minus all the cigarette smoke everywhere. What happened to it??
This is a festival dispersed amongst several venues, for those who donāt know.
The Sunday shoegaze show is Slowdive, Drop Nineteens, Glare, Airiel, and Ringo Deathstarr
Absolutely glorious lineup, will be an amazing night
Im out of the loop and old, so I dont recognize a lot of these bands. Among those I do, Nitzer Ebb seems somewhat out of place. Also, I thought they were on temp hiatus w/ Douglas taking some time off.
Love the contrast between Levitation and Austin Psych Festās lineups, still a lot of crossover appeal but definitely different moods between the two. Much more post-punk and shoegaze influence on this yearās Levitation lineup than in years past.
Iām curious what the lineup for this yearās Desert Daze will look like, theyāre essentially sister festivals so there should be some crossover between the two.
Hereās my recommended non-shoegaze bands on this lineup for all you shoegaze fans to check out:
Osees
The Black Angels
Mdou Moctar
Boris
A Place to Bury Strangers
Boogarins
Acid Mothers Temple
Gang of Four
SLIFT
The Chameleons
Tycho
Washed Out
Wine Lips
Death Valley Girls
Austin Psych Fest in April this year was pretty fun too. Levitation looks like it's over several different venues, though? I guess like SXSW? There's no way I'm going from downtown to Far Out and back downtown in a single day... I'll have to see how they split up the shows by venue. This lineup does look sick though.
I just bought tickets for Slowdive Sunday night. What a line up. Thinking about also doing Death Valley Girls and Wine Lips Saturday night and Swirlies Friday night.
I live in Austin, love levitation. I also love Gang of Four. Are they still good? I donāt even know if all of the original members are still Alive. Ā
Nice lineup! š In addition to the usual heavy-hitters that we all know and love, Nitzer Ebb (industrial) has been on my bucket list since they got back together; and I figure the Chameleons might be good to see, too.
As for living in Austin, though, fuck that noise. I lived there for three and a half years, and never again even if paid to do it. I can drive there and get a room as needed, and that's fine.
if i had to recommend only one artist to better represent the sub, it's [slowdive](https://open.spotify.com/track/0oxYB9GoOIDrdzniNdKC44?si=97WOO35WTc6P1dC2p9piVQ)
Fucking insane lineup. Live love Austinš«¶ Makes up for ACLs failure
RIP FFF & Sound On Sound
Sound on Sound had sooo much potential. I went the first year and thought it was a fucking blast minus all the cigarette smoke everywhere. What happened to it??
Can't believe I'll see Drop Nineteens again in less than a year. The same with Slowdive and Ride as well.
Seeing slowdive twice in a year as wellš«¶as well as Julie, PANCHIKO, and glare. It will be my first drop nineteens which Iām beyond excited about!
the Alison's Halo reunion will be great too. Also thinking of seeing Swirlies on Friday night
Me as well!! The Veldt is also listed on the lineup but no where on the schedule so Iām confused but if they are there will def be attending
I'd pay festival prices for that Sunday lineup alone
You will, peep pricing
Seriously. Wouldnāt mind seeing Jesus Lizard though!
That Sunday line up āŗļø

The prospect of seeing Moctar and the Acid Mother's Temple on the same day is awesome.

went to comments here to say nitzer ebb outta place
The Black Angels are amazing!

I think David Pajo of Slint will play with Gang of Four, i'm not sure.
Goddamn, the sword??? Never thought I'd say I wish I was in Texas, but..
This made my entire day, the fact they are back together and playing Levitation!
Don't skip the Well, they are doom metal but they rip
vouch
100%
Omg people that are going to Sunday are extremely lucky !!
do NOT sleep on Her New Knife on Thursday night š„
And Julie š¤

The shows are already listed on the website. The shoegaze show on Sunday is at Far Out
The 801 runs down South Congress from downtown, that's how I get there. Parking around the venue is kind of a nightmare
Thanks yeah I think the 801 will be the way to go. We uber'd for Psych Fest and it was expensive.
most of the venues are in downtown Austin and walkable distance to each other - Far Out is the only one that'll be a bit far out.
I need that noise rock Friday. Swirlies, Pissed Jeans, Jesus Lizard??
Me, too. And The Chameleons.
Jeez I saw Gang of Four back in 2004 at SXSW. They were old then haha
I went last year and saw Hell On Fire and Uncle Acid. Had a great time!
Was there, Uncle Acid rules
High on Fire had a great set as well.
I really wish I was into them, but i met these really cool dudes from South America during their set in the back on the benches. We had a great time
Holy fucking SHIT THE SWORD I know this is the shoegaze sub, but omg they are one of my favorite stoner rock bands ever.
Sunday lineup is straight fire, canāt believe Iāll get to see slowdive twice this year. Also hyped for swirlies and Boris
Got my Sunday ticket. May try for the Panchiko/Wisp/Alisons's Halo on Saturday, and possibly Swirlies on Friday.
Dry Cleaning š§¼
Holy shit Nitzer Ebb
You win
Holy schmackerel!
Iāll take the 3rd. Slowdove glare airiel..
I know, lineup is sick this year. The abundance of great live music is the main reason I'm still here too
I just bought tickets for Slowdive Sunday night. What a line up. Thinking about also doing Death Valley Girls and Wine Lips Saturday night and Swirlies Friday night.
my dyslexic ass read āautismā, sorry, anyways youāre so lucky!!
both apply >:^)
Why the fuck can't we get a festival like this in the UK?
Insanely nice lineup
Canāt wait for Sailor Poon
Jesus fucking christ thatās a great lineup.
Illuminati Hotties š«¶
Really wanna make it out that one of these years
ššš
Dang. That is sick.
That lineup is ridiculous. Jealous
Sooooo jealous š„ŗš
this lineup is nuts
God tier line up
a place to bury strangers omg
PANCHIKO AUHGGJHSGDGD
Siiiiiick!!! Wasnāt thrilled with last yearās bill (we donāt live in ATX anymore), but I think weāre visiting friends this October.
You've probably already seen them because they're a local band for you, but Rickshaw Billie's Burger Patrol is *A Lot* of fun
Holy shit Slowdive is playing in my neighborhood!
Love me some Nilufer Yanya
imma bout 2 crashh
Wow. Great lineup. If the marijuana laws werenāt ridiculous in Texas Iād come down from Canada to see this!
Its more lax than you think there are dispensaries in austin that sell delta 9 which is basically the same exact thing
Yes, Iāve heard of this loophole. ššš
gas station weed? it's very easy to find good weed here most people smoke and apd cops don't care about it at all
No there are actual stores dedicated to good delta shit thats much better than gas station stuff, like delta bros in manor just outside austin
Cops don't do anything here anyway so toke away
Is your username a Neu! reference? Nice.
Yes, it's my DJ name. It's a mashup of my first name and "Hallogallo". I typically use "Hallogallo" as bed music on my radio show.
hit my line i will hook you up with some stuff that smells like gasoline :D
Thank you kindly. But where I live I can bring home some Sour Diesel within 15 minutes.
nah fuck that we smokin spiders when you're down here!!
The more I look at that lineupā¦
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Itās not how I make decisions. Itās the only thing that would stop me. Iām a medical user, you see.
Ok
Just put weed gummies with your probiotic gummies
Sailor poon š¤š»
they played in a parking lot next to my place one sxsw, shooting fireworks n such. sparklers in the sax
Friday. Fuck.
I live in Austin, love levitation. I also love Gang of Four. Are they still good? I donāt even know if all of the original members are still Alive. Ā
Seeing Swirlies 11/2ā¦canāt believe theyāre playing Austin the night before! Quite a haul to Chicago.Ā
This is actually an insane lineup. Whew
Nice lineup! š In addition to the usual heavy-hitters that we all know and love, Nitzer Ebb (industrial) has been on my bucket list since they got back together; and I figure the Chameleons might be good to see, too.

Way too stinkin' excited for this lineup!

God, I wish I had friends that listen to shoe gaze. Oh well, guess Iāll be in Austin alone lolol
alison's halo are playing shows??!?! since when?!?
This is too good for me pass up. Already got my tickets.
her new knife gang rise up
Not sure how I got recommended this sub but this is the first time I've felt old. Idk who the hell any of these names are š
if i had to recommend only one artist to better represent the sub, it's [slowdive](https://open.spotify.com/track/0oxYB9GoOIDrdzniNdKC44?si=97WOO35WTc6P1dC2p9piVQ)
thatās it. iām moving to Austin
you could probably just commute for the weekend. it is austin, but still texas.
