The award-winning global promoter with deep Texas roots, Disco Presents, today announced the launch of Wicked Oaks Festival, a groundbreaking music, art and camping experience set for October 25–26, 2025 at Carson Creek Ranch. Nestled on the banks of the Colorado River in Austin, this 58-acre historic venue—originally granted in 1851—will host an immersive weekend that unites three beloved events—Freaky Deaky, Summoning of the Eclipse and ILLfest—into one mystical gathering. Tickets are on sale now at WickedOaksFest.com.
Carson Creek Ranch’s open-air amphitheater, shaded by century-old pecan and oak trees and framed by rolling riverside terrain, provides an enchanting backdrop just minutes from downtown Austin and three miles from ABIA. Festivalgoers will embark on winding forest trails and enchanted oak groves that set the stage for a multi-sensory adventure. Friday, October 24 welcomes early-arrival campers to an exclusive pre-convergence celebration, while Saturday and Sunday deliver full days—and nights—of headlining performances and interactive art under the stars.
Wicked Oaks is not merely a festival but a world unto itself. Inspired by forest folklore and surreal storytelling, its three realms each bring a distinct flavor. On the Freaky Deaky stage, progressive icon Eric Prydz will guide fans through a hypnotic journey of sound and light, while Kaskade’s sunset set promises a golden-hour serenade. Club-set specialists Bob Moses and Martin Garrix will keep energy levels at a fever pitch, joined by rising talents including LP Giobbi, Gryffin, Cloonee and more.
The Summoning stage offers the weekend’s heaviest bass encounter, curated by SVDDEN DEATH under his cryptic VOYD persona. Fans of darker tones will experience ritualistic drops alongside NGHTMRE b2b Kompany, legendary architect Flux Pavilion, and emotional bass titan Kai Wachi. Heady back-to-back sets from SVDDEN DEATH, YVM3 and NIMDA will bring a mythic intensity to the riverside grove.
Meanwhile, ILLfest transforms its domain into a living street-art gallery, as world-class muralists paint majestic installations in real time. Soundtrack highlights include Surf Mesa’s feel-good canopy vibes, Tony Romera’s forward-thinking house cuts, and techno textures from Luuk Van Dijk and SOSA’s minimalism. This realm celebrates the intersection of audiovisual creativity, inviting attendees to become part of the art.
Beyond music, Wicked Oaks offers 72 hours of workshops, interactive installations, fire and aerial performances, and hidden forest nooks designed to spark imagination. A curated food village will showcase Texas’s finest food trucks and pop-ups, while multiple camping options—including rustic tent realms, glamping, RV and group sites—ensure every guest finds their perfect home base under the oak canopy.
“This is a concept we’ve been building for a while,” said James “Disco Donnie” Estopinal, Founder of Disco Presents. “We’re thrilled to bring Freaky Deaky, Summoning and ILLfest together at Carson Creek Ranch. Wicked Oaks will unite these passionate communities in a way that’s truly unique to Austin.”
Artist set times, venue maps and surprise experiences will be announced in the coming months. For full lineup details, camping passes and ticket packages, visit WickedOaksFest.com.
