FAQs

What is VERVE?
VERVE is a first-of-its-kind festival that blends live music, immersive art, film and television premieres, and pop culture fandom under one roof. It’s a celebration of creative collision — part fan convention, part music fest, part cultural happening.

Where and when is VERVE taking place?
VERVE will debut in Austin, Texas in September 2027. Dates and full schedule will be announced soon — sign up for updates to be the first to know.

What kind of experiences can I expect at VERVE?
Think live music from up and coming and major artists, red carpet TV and film premieres, immersive art installations, panel discussions with creators, interactive brand activations, pop-up dining, and surprise performances. It’s a multi-sensory, multi-stage, choose-your-own-adventure experience. Throughout the weekend, guests can explore independently produced fan environments inspired by popular series such as Outlander, Stranger Things, Heated Rivalry, The Gilded Age, and more. These immersive experiences celebrate the fandoms and storytelling that have captivated audiences worldwide.

Is this an indoor or outdoor event?
Both! VERVE is primarily held in a large-scale, indoor venue with outdoor elements and activations. It’s designed for maximum immersion — rain or shine. All music experiences will take place outdoors on five major stages!

Will there be single-day passes or only full-festival access?
As VERVE is a multi-day event, you will be able to purchase single day tickets once full festival passes are sold.

Is this an all-ages event?
Some parts of VERVE will be all-ages, but certain programming (late-night shows, parties, panels) may be 21+. Age restrictions will be clearly labeled when the schedule drops.
