Texas Eclipse Festival proudly unveils the extraordinary lineup for its “Final Contact’ announcement. A once in a lifetime celestial event that serves as a unique platform for the convergence of individuals, music, art, space, and technology, all come together to commemorate the 2024 total solar eclipse—a rare celestial phenomenon that will grant spectators over 4 minutes and 20 seconds of totality.
This is a once in a lifetime event in the heart of Texas hill country. Part Science Fair, part Circus on tap, with Ted style Talks, and a worldly music festival featuring one of the best lineups from all corners of our planet earth.
Texas Eclipse is an unparalleled celebration of music, creativity, and cultural exchange happening at the sprawling 1300+ acres at Reveille Peak Ranch in Burnet, TX from April 5-9. Situated within the picturesque Texas Hill Country the venue features wooded forests ideal for camping, 60 miles of trails to explore, and elevated hilltops for optimal viewing and engagement with the event’s offerings.
Much more than just music; Texas Eclipse serves as a global community hub where the over 300+ performances and participants will create an unparalleled convergence of captivating experiential art installations, mesmerizing music performances, space exploration, cutting-edge technology, futurism with pioneers in web3 and AI. These participants will offer a diverse range of experiences, including holistic and movement workshops, psychedelic sessions and the wonders of nature, transforming the raw land into a thriving Global Eclipse Village of creativity, insight, and inspiration.
These extraordinary individuals, hailing from diverse backgrounds and fields of expertise, embody the spirit of collaboration and unity that defines the Texas Eclipse Festival. Their presence adds layers of depth to an already multifaceted experience, creating a space where the universal values of unity, diversity, and exploration are not just celebrated but lived. There will be fireside chats, keynotes, round tables, experiential workshops and out of this world performances. It’s programming fit for all ages because every inch of Reveille Peak Ranch will bring out the inner child in you.
There’s a good reason why it’s hotly tipped by National Geographic, BBC, Thrillist and Timeout, as the ultimate global destination event to witness the celestial phenomenon. It caters not only to eclipse chasers but also to families, friends, and festival lovers offering a curated experience that encourages discovery, exploration, and participation.
