Passion Pit began as the solo project of singer-songwriter-producer Michael Angelakos, and following years of success including platinum hits like “Sleepyhead” and “Take A Walk,” Angelakos is now returning to how it all began: working and performing solo, experimenting with his sound and staying true to himself, while challenging conventions and outmolded structures. Currently, Passion Pit’s latest album, Nine Times Your Torch Song, will be released in iterative phases, and through unique recordings of live performances with additional collaborators, directly to fans. Throughout his success and creative evolution as an artist, Angelakos continues to be a leading mental health advocate who dedicates much of his energy to helping others. Passion Pit will perform at Austin City Limits Music Festival in October 2025.
RAISE FUNDS FOR PARKS
Party for the Parks isn’t just a night of fun – it also raises critical funds for our local parks, trails and green spaces. Attendees can participate in a number of fun-raising opportunities throughout the event, from games like the Tipsy Toss and Gift Card Gamble, to bidding on amazing experiences in the silent and live auction.
