Expansion: Lexington’s Psychedelic Experience & Music Festival
Aug. 24-26 • The Burl (475 Thompson Road), Kentucky Theatre, 21c Museum Hotel
Now in its fifth year, this local celebration of psychedelic and experimental music and art has moved to a new date and expanded its format to include a Thursday night film screening at the Kentucky Theatre (a retrospective of local artist Robert Beatty, followed by a screening of “Chunky Shrapnel,” a concert fil by the Australian psych band King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard), as well as a pre-party at 21c Museum Hotel on Friday.
For the main event, a full-day of mind-bending music and art will take place at The Burl on Saturday, Aug. 26, utilizing that venue’s outdoor stage. This year’s music lineup will be headlined by experimental, beat-centric artist TOBACCO, with support from King Buffalo, Hooveriii, Liz Cooper, Sweet Country Meat Boys and more, with visual artists who specialize in analog liquid light, video synthesis and projection-mapping providing visuals via LED screens. More details and a schedule of events will be unveiled in the coming weeks.
