CARSON CREEK RANCH, AUSTIN TX.
As fall kicks into gear, Disco Presents is preparing to unveil its newest festival Wicked Oaks, debuting October 25–26, 2025 at Carson Creek Ranch in Austin, TX. The immersive music, art, and camping experience merges three festivals together including the legendary Halloween energy of Freaky Deaky, the heavy-hitting mystique of Summoning Fest, and the art-forward world of ILLfest into one unmissable weekend. With headliners including Eric Prydz, Kaskade (sunset set), Martin Garrix, Kai Wachi, LP Giobbi, and SVDDEN DEATH, Wicked Oaks is set to become one of the most unique and impactful festival experiences in Texas.
Disco Presents has deep Texas roots and has been on a mission to give back. Beyond the music, Wicked Oaks introduces Roots of Kindness, a charitable and wellness initiative woven into the festival weekend. Fans picking up their wristbands will be encouraged to bring nonperishable food items for the Central Texas Food Bank, with donation bins and QR codes making it easy to contribute. Campers will also have the opportunity to support Sunrise Austin by donating gently used camping gear and essentials — from tents and sleeping bags to hygiene kits and hydration supplies — helping to provide relief for Austin’s homeless community.
In the campgrounds, Wicked Oaks will also host special daytime programming, including a Saturday conversation on resilience and balance in the event space hosted by Amplified Minds with OUTLET, Disco Presents’ dedicated space for mental health and wellness, and featuring Narcan training from End Overdose. Our special guests will share their light on resilience, support, and harm reduction:
Kacie Cheairs, LPC – Mental Health Outlet
Aspen Hough – Chapter President, End Overdose
Dr. Peter Thomas – VP, Amplified Minds
Lauren O’Connor – President, Amplified Minds
This session underscores the festival’s mission to create not just a gathering for music lovers, but a space for growth, dialogue, and care. Additional wellness programming will soon be announced.
The launch of Roots of Kindness builds on Disco Presents’ longstanding philanthropic legacy in Texas. Since 2013, the company has donated more than $2 million in tickets and direct contributions to local and national charities. In 2021, donations included $150,000 in Freaky Deaky Texas tickets, alongside gifts to the Houston Food Bank, Texas Association of First Responders, and Americares, as well as support for Texas food banks during devastating winter storms. The following year, Disco Presents pledged a landmark $1 million in festival and club tickets to Vet Tix / 1st Tix, honoring first responders, veterans, and gold-star families, a gift dedicated to the memory of Donnie Estopinal’s cousin, PFC Jason Hill Estopinal, who was killed in action in Afghanistan.
From 2023 through 2025, Disco Presents has continued this momentum, supporting the North Texas Food Bank, Central Texas Food Bank, and Houston Food Bank, Highland Lakes Family Crisis Center and, most recently, pledging $50,000 from SILO Dallas to Central Texas flood relief organizations. Additional support has gone to arts and equity programs such as Femme House, Film2Future, HeadCount, and the Association for Electronic Music, ensuring the company’s impact extends across communities and causes.
With annual festivals like Ubbi Dubbi, Lights All Night, Shaq’s Bass All-Stars and now Wicked Oaks, as well as more than 1000 club shows each year across Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Austin, and beyond, Disco Presents has cemented itself as Texas’ largest independent electronic music promoter. Together, these efforts reflect a company committed to creating unforgettable experiences while giving back to the communities that make them possible.

More About Wicked Oaks:
Wicked Oaks Festival is the newest creation from Disco Presents, debuting October 25–26, 2025 at Carson Creek Ranch in Austin, TX. Billed as “three festivals in one wicked place,” Wicked Oaks merges the legendary Halloween theatrics of Freaky Deaky, the heavy-hitting mystique of Summoning Fest, and the art-forward creativity of ILLfest into one immersive music, art, and camping experience.
Inspired by forest folklore and surreal storytelling, Wicked Oaks is curated with its own distinct soul—not quite Halloween, not just a music festival—a place where mystical creatures and shadowy figures roam among whimsical light displays, fire performances, and large-scale interactive installations.
Set along the Colorado River just minutes from downtown Austin, Carson Creek Ranch provides 58 scenic acres of forest, water, and open skies — the perfect backdrop for an enchanted convergence of sound and spirit. Over two days, more than 60 artists across three realms will perform, spanning melodic and heavy bass, house, techno, electro-funk, and genre-bending hybrids.
Beyond the music, Wicked Oaks is a realm where myth meets bass: whimsical light displays, roaming performers, fire shows, interactive art installations, workshops, and forested pathways create a storybook atmosphere designed to spark connection and wonder. With GA, RV, and glamping options — plus an exclusive Friday night pre-party for campers — the festival offers a full weekend of community and creativity in the heart of Austin.
Guests will encounter:
Interactive art installations
Workshops and creative sessions to spark movement and imagination
A curated food village with Texas’ best food trucks and culinary pop-ups
Chill zones, fire and aerial performances, and hidden forest nooks
Glamping, RV camping, and expanded GA + VIP options
Artist’s set times, maps, and additional surprises are being announced at WickedOaksFest.com
