Preview: Get Ready for the Sips & Sounds Music Festival!

Festival season keeps rolling in March as the Sips & Sounds Festival returns to Austin, Texas for a two day weekend packed with live music and unbeatable city vibes.

Taking place March 13 and 14, 2026 at Auditorium Shores, the festival puts fans right in the heart of Austin with the iconic skyline serving as the backdrop while some of today’s hottest artists take the stage.

Sips & Sounds delivers two days of music across two stages, bringing together 16 incredible performances that mix pop, electronic, indie, and alternative sounds into one stacked weekend lineup.

Friday night is headlined by Christina Aguilera, bringing powerhouse vocals and hit after hit to the Austin crowd, alongside Major Lazer, Ravyn Lenae, Grouplove, Between Friends, The Two Lips, Aidan Bissett, and Skateland, setting the tone for an energetic start to the weekend.

The momentum keeps going Saturday with Calvin Harris closing things out, joined by Foster the People, Stephen Sanchez, Flipturn, The Runarounds, Jade LeMac, Mallrat, and Caroline Hale, making sure fans get one more full day of nonstop music along the riverfront.

One of the best parts of Sips & Sounds is the setting itself. Auditorium Shores gives festivalgoers open park space, skyline views, and easy access to everything downtown Austin has to offer, making it just as much about the atmosphere as it is about the music.

Whether you’re planning a weekend trip or you’re lucky enough to call Austin home, Sips & Sounds Festival is shaping up to be one of the standout music weekends of the spring.
