Levitation Austin festival to return in 2018.

File this under: Best News You’ve Heard Today.  Austin, Texas’ annual Levitation Festival returns April 26-29, 2018.

The flagship Levitation festival (the others are in Chicago, Vancouver, British Columbia, and Angers, France) was cancelled this year after the organizers, the Reverb Appreciation Society, took a heavy loss due to the 2016 Austin festival being cancelled due to storms and flooding.  Make up shows were quickly scheduled, but many attendees got shut out of those thanks to ruthless ticket scalpers.  The RAS bounced back a bit this year with their Angers festival, but fans hoped the Chicago, Austin, and Vancouver shows would return soon.

There’s no word on the Chicago festival (which is usually the first of the four and held in early spring), but the announcement of the Austin festival’s return is great news and a good omen for the other Levitation shows.

Tickets for Austin aren’t on sale yet, but don’t wait too long to score them.  The demand will be greater than normal.  See you there.

Keep your mind open.

I've been a music fan since my parents gave me a record player for Christmas when I was still in grade school. The first record I remember owning was "Sesame Street Disco." I've been a professional writer since 2004, but writing long before that. My first published work was in a middle school literary magazine and was a story about a zoo in which the animals could talk.
