ILLfest, the dynamic annual music festival, is returning to Austin’s Travis County Expo Center on May 30-June 1, 2025—only a short trip from San Antonio! Now in its seventh year, this festival brings a unique blend of high-energy electronic dance music paired with an artistic spin. Featuring large-scale street art installations, it makes this music festival one of the coolest events to check out this spring.

Organizers shared on Instagram earlier this month:
“ILLfest is 🪩✨BACK!✨🪩 ladies and gents! This will be the biggest year we’ve ever had! More murals and artists than ever before, plus a new 360-degree renegade stage 🤯 and we’re just getting started.”
See interesting oversized art everywhere
With over 80 murals planned for that weekend, you’ll be surrounded by stunning works from dozens of globally recognized artists that will keep you entertained when you aren’t watching the latest acts on stage. Also, enjoy live art installations painted by artists right before your eyes! Past murals by Jeks, Alex Solis, El Pez, and Greg Mike set a high bar, and 2025 promises to take it even further. And for the first time ever this year, there’s mural, DJ, and dance workshops included with early entry to the festival grounds for those who bought GA+, VIP, or ILLVIP tickets.
This year, get ready to be inspired by dozens of muralists! You’ll also get to experience plenty of interactive art, live performances, projection mapping, and more! We know where we’ll be, snapping up plenty of photos for our IG.
Hit up the spectacular vendor village for food and merch
There will be curated local food offerings from some of Texas’ favorite restaurants, artisan crafts from traveling festival craft-makers, and local beer and craft cocktail bars throughout the venue to recharge and take a break away from the action. Secure your spot!
