Austin Psych Fest 2026 marked another festival at far S. Congress Avenue mega-backyard, The Far Out Lounge and Stage. It brought the fourth spring edition since the brand’s 2023 return, featuring a star-studded lineup and a two-stage, no-overlapping performances setup. The Cosmic Clash team was on-site all weekend and highlighted what stood out over the three-day stint in South Austin and the satellite showcases in the Red River Cultural District. APF had a special guest on Friday as progressive Congressman Greg Casar joined the party to watch Wayne Coyne and company do their Flaming Lips party for the psych rock faithful. Who doesn’t like the fun, positive vibe of the Lips? Turns out even Austin politicians do.

If there is such thing as a beloved SXSW satellite event, it’s Luck Reunion which takes place on Willie Nelson’s Luck Ranch each March. Since the event began, a lot has changed, including the owners tolerance for concerts on the property. The Luck Reunion 10th Anniversary Series continued last night with The Flaming Lips and Nelson’s son, Micah with his band, Particle Kid.
