Coca-Cola’s Sips & Sounds Music Festival is back in Austin with a lineup designed to hit millennial nostalgia buttons, as Christina Aguilera, Calvin Harris and Foster the People headline two days of music at Auditorium Shores on March 13-14.
Aguilera and Major Lazer Soundsystem will be headlining March 13, supported by Ravyn Lenae, Grouplove, Between Friends, the Two Lips, Aidan Bissett and Austin-based artist Skateland, also known as Dorian Williams II. Harris and Foster the People will take the stage March 14, along with Stephen Sanchez, Flipturn, the Runarounds, Jade Lemac, Mallrat and another Austin-based singer-songwriter, Caroline Hale.
Sips & Sounds announced its lineup Monday, marking the fest’s third year in Austin since starting in 2023, with its dates overlapping with the first weekend of South by Southwest. Tickets are on sale now for the all-ages festival, though organizers note that Sips & Sounds is completely separate from SXSW.
A two-day general admission ticket is priced at $100, while upgrading to GA+ adds amenities such as air-conditioned restrooms, complimentary Coca-Cola and bottled water, a private bar and more for $225. Single-day general admission tickets cost $65, or attendees can upgrade to single-day GA+ for $125.
“When I first received the email, I thought it had to be a mistake,” Caroline Hale told the American-Statesman. “Being included as one of the few Austin local artists is an incredible honor, and I’m excited to finally share my music with a larger audience.”
“It’s surreal to be playing with so many artists that I’ve admired for so long!” Skateland told the Statesman. “When I started releasing music this was the sort of bill I’d always envisioned Skateland being on genre-wise, so to see that come to fruition in just a few short years is crazy. Huge blessing, and I’m excited to represent Austin.”

Sips & Sounds 2025
In 2025, Sips & Sounds hosted Suki Waterhouse, Khalid, Halsey and Benson Boone. While last year’s lineup seemed to cater more toward a younger “zillenial” demographic, this year’s slate appears aimed at nostalgia-laden millennial fan service — and we’re here for it.
