2022 will mark the BIGGEST festival to date as we have dramatically expanded our footprint to 10+ stages across 8 iconic music venues in Austin. We'll also have a ton of customized visual art exhibitions on display throughout the festival weekend, plus several exclusive pop-uFor 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 Austin, with previously announced performers including Blonde Redhead, Carcass, The Locust, Youth of Today, Xiu Xiu, Autopsy, Converge, William Basinski, Zola Jesus, and Lil Ugly Mane, among others. 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. Several newly added acts help to showcase the festival’s evolution such as Detroit-based rapper and media personality Danny Brown, who will help headline the third-year festival while he preps for the highly anticipated release of his sixth album titled ‘Quaranta’ later this year; producer and multi-instrumentalist Andy Morin, who is perhaps best known as a member of the experimental hip-hop trio Death Grips; indie-folk rockers The Microphones, who are performing in Austin for the first time in 20+ years; and punk rap trio Ho99o9 who just released a new single from their forthcoming studio album called "Battery Not Included" that was produced by Blink 192's Travis Barker. Other notable new acts include death metal pioneers Massacre, whose Oblivion Access performance will mark a rare Texas reunion for the band; Memphis's own alt-rapper Cities Aviv; doom metal band King Woman fronted by singer/songwriter Kristina Esfandiari; a special solo set from rapper Billy Woods of Armand Hammer, who is also on the 2022 bill; post-punk rock duo HTRK; and a very rare performance from Full of Hell who will be performing their acclaimed "Trumpeting Ecstacy" album in its entirety. In total, over 100 music acts from Texas and across the globe are confirmed to perform at this year’s four-day event. p events just for OA festival-goers, and some extremely intimate sets from some of our most sought-after artists. The good news too is that we have reconfirmed the majority of our 2020 lineup, although we are also adding in a ton of new headliners and other popular music acts. Next year will be far and away the largest OA lineup to date! There is so much we can’t wait to soon reveal, so be on the lookout for more festival details coming later this year. Thank you all again from the bottom of our hearts and we look forward to seeing our OA family again in 2022!
