Austin City Limits is going big for its 25th anniversary. The festival just dropped its 2026 lineup, and it’s stacked with Charli XCX, RÜFÜS DU SOL, Twenty One Pilots, Lorde, Skrillex, Kings of Leon, and The xx headlining across two weekends.

The festival runs October 2-4 and October 9-11 at Zilker Park. Three-day tickets go on sale today at noon Central.

Beyond the headliners, the lineup pulls from every corner of the music world. Turnstile, Labrinth, The War On Drugs, and Bleachers anchor the mid-tier. Latin artists including Young Miko, rusowsky, and Rodrigo y Gabriela get real estate too. And ACL is still doing what it does best: giving rising talent a stage. Artists like Paris Paloma, Claire Rosinkranz, and Sienna Spiro are all on the bill.

Texas artists are well represented. Bo Staloch, Calder Allen, World Famous Pets, and the Huston Tillotson University Jazz Collective are among the homegrown acts playing this year.

Since 2006, the festival has funneled over $79 million into Austin’s parks through its partnership with Austin Parks Foundation. Last year alone, ticket sales contributed $8.5 million toward park improvements across the city.

For a festival that started as a PBS taping series, ACL has become one of the most important stages for indie and mainstream artists alike. Twenty-five years in, it’s still the place where careers get made.
