Austin

## Official SXSW 2026 Kickoff Wellness Social

**Thursday, March 12 | 4PM–8PM | Bathe – Austin, TX**



**Now Accepting Sponsors, Brand Partners & Select Vendors.**
To collaborate or activate, email [**marketing@batheaustin.com**]()



SXSW begins. The city surges.
And before the chaos hits full volume, we gather.



**Bathe in Beats is the most epic wellness social of SXSW.**



A heat-meets-bass, cold-meets-connection, soak-meets-dance collision of music, culture, recovery, and Austin energy.



This is not a panel.
Not a trade show.
Not a blackout rager.



It’s the kickoff dance ritual for creatives who want to last the whole week.



## **WHAT THIS IS**

A 4-hour immersive, open-flow experience where:

• DJs build from ambient sunset into groove-forward dance energy
• Founders and artists cold plunge between conversations
• Media and musicians sweat it out in wood-fired saunas
• Red light, mineral water, and basslines coexist beautifully
• The dance floor happens in a soaking garden



It’s playful. It’s elevated. It’s embodied.
It’s where the real ones meet before the week explodes.



## **THE ENERGY ARC**

**4:00PM — ARRIVAL + SOFT LANDING**
Sunlight. Ambient grooves. First plunge. First hug.

**4:45PM — OPENING MOMENT**
A brief grounding welcome. Then we rise.

**5:00–6:30PM — IMMERSION MODE**
All rooms activated.
Outdoor DJ builds.
Live podcast recording in the sound room.
Contrast rituals.
Sponsor activations woven into the flow.
Movement. Conversation. Laughter echoing off the water.

**6:30–7:45PM — GOLDEN HOUR PEAK**
The garden transforms.
Downtempo turns to dance-forward.
Steam rising. Bodies moving.
It’s a social dance moment.

**7:45–8:00PM — SUNSET INTEGRATION**
Music softens. The city calls.
You leave charged, not depleted.



## **FULL ECOSYSTEM ACCESS**

• Finnish wood-fired saunas
• Infrared sauna
• Cold plunges
• Heated mineral soaking pools
• Red light lounge
• Vibroacoustic sound experiences
• Recovery + performance activations
• Functional elixirs + nourishing bites



This is wellness as social currency.
This is recovery as culture.
This is dancing between plunges.
