ILLfest Takes takes Austin by storm with a more expansive, immersive music and art experience. Seven Lions, Deorro, Gramatik, G Jones, Riot Ten, & over 25 others, alongside some of the world’s best mural and light artists, to transform the Travis County Expo Center on May 25th.
New name. New location. Same great vibes. The visionaries who brought you ILLectric River the past two years are back for year three with a bigger and better experience... ILLfest Music and Art Festival. On Saturday, May 25, fans will be greeted by four stages featuring more than 30 electronic music artists alongside otherworldly light art installations, live-painted murals and interactive art from 3 pm to 11 pm at the Travis County Expo Center.
The stellar lineup that includes Seven Lions, Deorro, Gramatik, G Jones, Riot Ten and more, strikes a perfect balance between internationally acclaimed heavy-hitters and the best up-and-coming progressive house, dubstep, electronic jazz, trap, psychedelica and future bass artists.
For art lovers, ILLfest continues to make waves in the local and international urban art communities. This year, living up to its reputation as one of the most impressive live-art experiences in Texas, ILLfest welcomes Austin artists such as Mez Data, Mattru22, Tayviss, and more. Additionally, fans will be mesmerized by internationally-renowned artists such as Bikismo, Woes, Mr Dheo, Balloonski and Denial, alongside over 20 others to showcase endless displays of 8-foot tall, live-painted murals. At night, our fans will see the venue transform as these murals become illuminated and interactive using projected light art.
As the industry has seen corporate music industry giants produce larger festivals that have come and gone, ILLfest has maintained its more intimate setting and personal connection with fans. Now in its third year, ILLfest stays true to its humble roots in offering an otherworldly experience for music fanatics and lovers who have a true inspiration and admiration for art, making it the only festival of its kind that remains locally-owned and produced by Texans.
“After attending hundreds of art shows, concerts and festivals, it became clear that none could present an immersive collection of all of these things at once,” said ILLectric River Founder/Visionary Jason Millsap. “What makes ILLfest an unforgettable experience is how we connect with fans by showcasing internationally-renowned electronic music producers and DJs, as well as artists who are loved and respected by fans from Texas and across the globe. Get ready to have your mind blown!”ILLfest will take over the Travis County Expo Center in Austin on Saturday, May 25th from 3 pm - 11 pm. Tickets are now on sale at www.illfestatx.com for as little as $25 down.
