Levitation Brazil - 2027

The Levitation, a long-standing American festival dedicated to psychedelic and alternative music, will hold its first Brazilian edition on January 23, 2027, at Komplexo Tempo in São Paulo. Founded in Austin, Texas, in 2008—initially as Austin Psych Fest—the event has become a benchmark for genres such as psychedelic rock, stoner rock, noise, shoegaze, post-punk, and experimental music.

The international lineup will feature the Melvins, Osees, Boris, and Frankie and the Witch Fingers. The national indie scene will be represented by Ema Stoned, Test, Bike, and Bufo Borealis.

The shows will be spread across two stages, with no simultaneous performances and full sets. In addition to the music, Levitation Brasil will feature a market dedicated to records, books, posters, T-shirts, and other merchandise, providing a platform for independent labels, publishers, brands, and initiatives. The goal is to recreate in Brazil the community spirit and countercultural ethos of the original festival, celebrating not only the artists but the entire culture built around alternative music.
