Details
Buckle up, space cadets — Rocket Cinema is turning five, and they’re throwing an interstellar bash under the Austin night sky!
On May 23rd, Rocket Cinema celebrates five years of screening movies outside under the stars, and they’re marking the milestone with a cosmic combo of live music, art, and sci-fi flair at Ani’s Day & Night.
- Live space rock soundtrack: Scan Hopper launches the evening from 7:30–8:30, followed by The Dialtones blasting off from 9:00–10:30. Expect fuzzed-out riffs, hypnotic grooves, and plenty of cosmic vibes.
- Immersive outer space visuals: Artists Lyon Graulty, Paul Beck, and Topher Sipes will wrap the entire show in trippy, outer-space animations, turning the stage into a floating spaceship of color and light.

- Raffle with space swag: RSVP to get in on the raffle for astronaut ice cream, vinyl from local bands, and other space-themed goodies that would make any sci-fi fan’s heart go supernova.
This anniversary party is like a love letter to Austin’s outdoor movie culture: part concert, part art installation, part hang with friends under the night sky. Whether you’ve been watching Rocket Cinema flicks since day one or you just love weird, wonderful nights out, this is the kind of event you’ll still be talking about long after re-entry.
- Bring: your friends, your best space-inspired outfit, and a readiness for lift-off.
- Expect: live bands, glowing visuals, starry skies, and a crowd of fellow film and music nerds.
