Wide Awake Arts & Music Festival keeps the same calendar slot each year: October 2026 for this edition, opening on a Friday and closing on a Friday. It falls in autumn, after the summer circuit closes, when flights and rooms come back down in price. That slot matters for the budget — flights and rooms in Texas are priced for the festival weekend, not the week around it, so shifting your arrival by a day often saves more than any ticket tier does.
- Four stages: Wooden Dancehall Stage, Camp Renegade Stage, 360° Stage, Sunrise Stage
- Camping available at Camp Renegade
- Features live art, entertainment, food vendors, and interactive activities
- 18+ event with professional sound and visual production

See every ticket tier and travel option →Planning the trip, step by step
- 1Book the ticket first: tiers at Wide Awake Arts & Music Festival are sold in waves and the cheapest wave is gone long before the line-up is complete.
- 2Then price the travel from Paris — Cinderella compares train, bus, car and flight for the same dates, and the cheapest option is not always the obvious one.
- 3Reserve 2 nights rather than 1: the last night of a festival almost always ends after the last train home.
- 4Follow Wide Awake Arts & Music Festival on Cinderella to be emailed when a ticket price drops or a new tier opens.
