Heavy rock festival RIPPLEFEST TEXAS reveals the complete program!

Premium US stoner, doom, and heavy rock festival RIPPLEFEST TEXAS returns to Austin, Texas with 25+ international acts hitting the Far Out Lounge and Sagebrush stages this September 17-20th. Weekend and day tickets are available now!

This fall, RippleFest Texas returns for its most ambitious edition yet, boasting over 25 international acts, zero overlapping sets, and a vibe that founder Ryan Garney describes as "a family reunion for heavy heads."

Headlining the 2026 edition are three titans of the underground: Oregon-based doom pioneers YOB, whose transcendent live show has become the stuff of legend, Denver's melodic heavy metal standard-bearers Khemmis, Swedish heavy rock lords Greenleaf, and Canadian sludge-dealing juggernaut Dopethrone. But the depth of this year's roster is where RippleFest truly shines, as the full 28-band lineup stands as a who's who of the international heavy rock scene. This year, US independent powerhouses Ripple Music and Magnetic Eye Records will each host a special label showcase, bookending the weekend lineup in excellence.

Founder Ryan Garney of Lick of My Spoon Productions says: "I could not be more proud of this year's lineup. Just the way it all came together and how it is curated for each night will make it a very special festival. There is not one single band anyone should miss, and luckily, you won't have to because there is absolutely no band overlap at RippleFest Texas! The Ripple Music Showcase and the Magnetic Eye Showcase will no doubt sell out the indoor venue The Sagebrush on Thursday and Sunday nights. The stacked 2-stage lineups at The Far Out Lounge will have some of the biggest names you won't want to miss, and all 4 days will have the best light show in the business by The Mad Alchemist Liquid Light Show. September can't get here soon enough!"
