Psychedelic festivals
6 festivals still to come with Psychedelic on the bill, carrying 16 of the 47 Psychedelic acts we track. Every act has a page: which festivals they play, what time they go on once the festival says, and what they sound like if the name is new to you.
Psychedelic sets run on repetition and volume. A guitar figure circles for a minute before the drums land, then the band holds one groove far past where a single would end. The poppier end keeps vocal harmonies up front. Outdoors the reverb thins, so the low end and the fuzz carry it.
These acts usually land mid-afternoon on a side stage or late at night in a tent, where the projections and strobes finally have something to work with. The crowd sways in place, and plenty of people sit on the grass. Sets often run as one piece, songs bleeding into each other without a pause.
Psychedelic festivals in 2026
Every bill still ahead of you with real Psychedelic on it, deepest first. A festival needs at least 2 Psychedelic acts to be here, so one stray booking on a bill about something else does not count.
Who carries Psychedelic this season
The Psychedelic acts booked the most in 2026. Go to more than one festival and you have probably seen a few of them already.
DjoJoe Keery's psych-pop project has vocoders, fuzz, and a genuine ear for a Tame Impala-shaped hook, and is well past the celebrity-side-project stage.
GwennoWelsh- and Cornish-language psych-pop with a krautrock pulse underneath, where minority-language records come out expansive and forward-looking rather than archival.
Holy WaveAustin psych with the tempo down and the reverb up: hazy, organ-lined grooves built for drifting rather than freaking out.
My Morning JacketJim James's reverb-drenched howl over southern rock that keeps drifting into something cosmic and unhurried, with jam-scene trust earned two hours at a time.
Tash SultanaA one-person band who builds whole songs live from loops: guitar, beatbox, trumpet, all stacked in front of you.
The Beta BandScotland's beloved kitchen-sink psychedelicists, reunited: 'Dry the Rain' at last, and the High Fidelity scene made flesh.
Ty SegallGarage rock's most prolific fuzz dealer, with a new album every time you blink, and the live band hits harder than any of them.
White DenimAustin's virtuosic boogie machine, with prog chops, garage soul, and tempo changes played like party tricks.
Allah-LasLos Angeles record-store clerks turned reverb evangelists, with sun-bleached jangle and surf-edged garage psych that sounds recorded in 1966 and mixed somewhere near the Pacific.
Dope LemonAngus Stone's hazy side project: slacker psych for a very late afternoon, all languid grooves and heavy-lidded charm.
