For this year’s expanded four-day event, festival organizers have meticulously curated a lineup featuring today’s most in-demand metal, punk, and experimental acts for a weekend celebration of underground music and counterculture. The festival will soon transform downtown Austin into sprawling festival grounds while taking over some of the most popular music venues in downtown.

 

The 2022 edition will also mark a further expansion into new genres and sounds as the heavy metal music festival continues its transition of becoming more inclusive and diverse while celebrating other forms of experimental music. Fans can now expect more hip-hop, electronic, avant-garde, and punk music than ever before.

 

 

In total, over 100 music acts from Texas and across the globe are confirmed to perform at this year’s four-day event. The full music lineup is listed below and available online at oblivionaccessfestival.com.

 

“Our small but mighty team couldn’t be more excited about this year’s lineup which we feel is the most expansive and diverse since the festival’s inception. Whether you like heavy metal, hip-hop, punk, electronic, shoegaze or indie rock, we have a little bit of something for everyone,” said Festival Co-Founder Dusty Brooks. “Get ready too because there are a ton more events on the horizon including a special art gallery, new comedy additions, and some really exciting partnerships that will help take our growing fest to the next level. Buckle up and strap in for a wild ride this spring!”
