_{We’re still buzzing from the incredible energy of last year’s Rockstar Magazine relaunch. That event was a powerful convergence of international artists from the UK, alongside formidable national and regional talents across all genres. It was a testament to raw, unadulterated musical expression, and for 2026, we are pushing boundaries even further. This year’s “Voltage Drive” is highly anticipated to be an even more transcendent experience, etched into Austin’s music history.}

Details for “Voltage Drive” Presented by Rockstar Magazine Event Marketing by Bishop Studios:

• When: March 12th & March 16th, 2026 (two non-consecutive days)
• Where: The 13th Floor, 711 Red River, Downtown Austin, TX 78701
• Time: Doors open at 11 AM – Music until 6 PM, both days
• Admission: FREE with RSVP online — All Ages with valid ID & Parent/Guardian

Our chosen venue, The 13th Floor, at 711 Red River in the historic Red River District, is more than just a space; it’s a monument to Austin’s rich musical heritage. It resonates with the pioneering spirit of early psychedelic sonic groups, paying homage to Austin’s own 13th Floor Elevators, famously fronted by the legendary Roky Erickson. To step inside is to connect with a legacy of groundbreaking sound, providing the perfect foundation for the next wave of musical innovation.

The Rockstar Magazine Relaunch last year was just the beginning. With “Voltage Drive,” our grand annual event now solidifies its distinct branding. It’s dedicated to bringing the best of the best from all around to one stage, welcoming artists from diverse backgrounds, and showcasing to visitors the genuine hospitality and vibrant community of Austin’s music scene. For those who claim the Austin Music Scene is dead, we offer a resounding counter: you’re simply visiting the wrong place. History repeats itself, and the time is ripe for the next legendary Austin artists to emerge.

“Voltage Drive” is powered by Bishop Studios, handling all PR, marketing, and advertising for the event. Artist booking is meticulously managed by Rockstar Magazine itself.

Come, be a part of the legacy. Experience “Voltage Drive.” We can’t wait to see you there!
