Details

Music Mixer ATX is back with a night built for Austin’s most passionate creators. On May 31, 2026 at 7:00 pm, this community-powered event brings together musicians, artists, producers, and performers for an evening that’s part live show, part meet-up, and all creative energy.

Instead of one long set, the Music Mixer keeps things moving with short performances and quick introductions, so you can hear a wide range of sounds and immediately connect with the people behind them. It’s the kind of night where you might discover your next bandmate, find a vocalist for your tracks, or meet a filmmaker who needs a score.

Live performances from a rotating lineup of local talent
Fast-paced sets that showcase multiple styles and genres
Built-in chances to mingle, share ideas, and swap contacts
A casual, welcoming vibe for both performers and non-performers
Open to artists, fans, and anyone who loves Austin’s creative scene

If you want a shot at performing, RSVP on the Performer Registration list via the ticket link to throw your name in the mix. Even if you’re not stepping on stage, you’ll be surrounded by people who live for live music and new collaborations.

The Music Mixer story is pure Austin. It launched in 2022 at the Historic Victory Grill in East Austin and grew into a roaming creative hub with editions at iconic venues like The Highball and Mohawk. Along the way it has helped spark new projects, bands, and ideas that keep the city’s “live music capital” reputation alive and evolving.

This edition continues that tradition, supported in part by the City of Austin Economic Development Department, and aims to fuel the next wave of local innovation through face-to-face connection and performance. Come ready to listen, introduce yourself, and plug into a scene that’s always in motion.

Whether you’re a seasoned performer, a bedroom producer taking your first public step, or a fan who loves discovering what’s next, Music Mixer ATX turns one evening into a launchpad for creative collaboration.
