Lexington's Psychedelic Experience & Music Festival

Formal Dance Society is taking over the Expansion dance floor, providing the soundtrack for the outdoor art immersion zone and vendor market!

Catch the FDS crew spinning from the outdoor skydeck, keeping the party moving all night, then follow them to The Burl Arcade for a late-night takeover until close. Come for the psych. Stay to boogie.

For years, L I Q U I F I E D has been stretching, melting, and reshaping reality at Expansion with liquid light projections that turn every performance into a one-of-a-kind visual experience where every projection is created in real time.

As one of the creative forces helping define Lexington’s psychedelic underground, Liquified has become inseparable from the Expansion experience, pushing the Southern psych scene forward one projection at a time. Catch them perform alongside ＢＬＯＮＤＥＣΛＵＬＤＲＯＮ at The Burl on 9/5!

Expansion collaborator and performer Scott Boeing bends light and video to build immersive experiences and events. Always exploring and finding new ways to approach digital creation. Connecting everything to everything.

This year, Digital Castaway is spearheading our outdoor visual installation and providing live visuals for Routine Caffeine. Get ready to see Expansion in a whole new light.

ＢＬＯＮＤＥＣΛＵＬＤＲＯＮ channels vintage psych through a modern, neo psychedelia lens with scorching guitars and hypnotic grooves that feel equally at home in the late ‘60s and right now. Comprised of Lexington music scene pillars, they return to The Burl on September 5 to open another portal into Lexington’s Psychedelic Experience. 📸: Mark Walsh

Dark Arts Whiskey House is conjuring bold spirits and some of the best dang bourbon in the world right across the street here in the Lexington Distillery District!

Summon the night early with a guided tasting, grab a seat at The Alchemist’s Bar, or step inside the lab and experiment with their L*D blend (“Long Strange Drip” Sweet & Sour Mash Honey Bourbon).

Thanks to Mac, Avery and the entire Dark Arts Crew for their continuing support of Expansion and all things psychedelic!

Expansion visual artist alum Chud Lights operates somewhere between found footage and a bad trip, twisting his projections so every frame feels like it was pulled from an alternate timeline.

Catch him throwing lights for DOOM GONG + Levi’s original art throughout the festival!

Blending dreamy indie rock with flashes of pop shimmer and shoegaze haze, Routine Caffeine creates music that’s both ethereal and explosive.

On September 5, the trio returns to blur the line between dream pop and sonic overload at The Burl with live visuals from Digital Castaway Media

Behind every trip is a guide.

Since day one, Psensibil has shaped the visual experience of Expansion, transforming our stages into living, breathing worlds of light, color, and controlled chaos. As our Visual Art Director, Travis doesn’t just complement the music, he distorts it, and gives it a pulse of its own.

When he’s not building the visual language of Expansion, you’ll find him creating immersive performances where sound and light become inseparable. Witness it live 9/5 at The Burl.
