In a crowded festival marketplace, Utopia Fest sticks out: it’s located at Reveille Peak Ranch in rural Burnet, Texas, encouraging camping and hiking; it’s small, making for a family-like atmosphere; and it focuses on Austin music, elevating hometown heroes to mainstage status alongside national acts like Grandmaster Flash, Dr. John, RJD2, and more.
Utopia Fest, now in its 11th year, takes place November 14 through 16. This week on My KUTX, fest organizers Travis Sutherland and Wayne Dalchau give you a preview of this year’s lineup, including Shakey Graves, Brownout, the Deer, and more. Listen to My KUTX on Saturday, November 9 at 6 p.m. or listen at any time below.
