If you’ve ever wanted to dance beneath the stars while being silently judged by an ancient pecan tree, Wicked Oaks has you spiritually covered. Debuting October 25–26 at Austin's historic Carson Creek Ranch, the festival is the genre-defying lovechild of three beloved Texas-born fests—Freaky Deaky, ILLfest and Summoning of the Eclipse—now fused into one mystic mega-event conjured by Disco Presents.
In an era of copy-paste festivals, Wicked Oaks dares to get weird. Set on 58 acres of riverside land where history and hallucinations collide, the festival has the feel of a choose-your-own-adventure novel written in lasers, bass and eldritch vibes.
According to a press release, Wicked Oaks is inspired by forest folklore and surrealist storytelling, a festival "where mystical creatures and shadowy figures roam among whimsical light displays, fire performances and large-scale interactive installations." Think Midsommar meets Electric Forest, but without the existential dread or culty undertones.
"This is a concept we’ve been building for a while," said James "Disco Donnie" Estopinal, Founder of Disco Presents. "We’re excited to bring the best of Freaky Deaky, Summoning and ILLfest to Austin, Texas. Carson Creek Ranch is a beautiful place and Wicked Oaks will bring these communities together in a special way."
The lineup is staggering. Each individual festival brand will present its own stage and audiovisual production. The Freaky Deaky stage will feature superstars the likes of Martin Garrix, Eric Prydz, Kaskade and Gryffin, among others; over on the Summoning stage, dubstep luminary SVDDEN DEATH has curated a ferocious roster featuring his VOYD alias, Eptic, Flux Pavilion, NGHTMRE b2b Kompany and more; and the ILLfest stage boasts a more groove-forward lineup with Autograf, Surf Mesa, Tony Romera, Wenzday and more.
