Official press release:

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.
