Austin City Limits is coming back strong for its 25th anniversary, with RÜFÜS DU SOL, Skrillex, and Kings of Leon leading one of the festival’s biggest talking points right away. The two-weekend run returns to Zilker Park on October 2 through 4 and October 9 through 11, with a lineup that once again stretches across rock, pop, dance, country, and everything in between.
Beyond those top names, the poster is loaded. Charli xcx, Twenty One Pilots, Lorde, The xx, Turnstile, The Chainsmokers, SOFI TUKKER, Bleachers, Young Miko, Parcels, The War On Drugs, and Leon Thomas. A curation that all help give this year’s edition a lot of range, while Brandon Flowers appears on weekend one and Steve Aoki lands on weekend two.
ACL is also bringing back the kind of extras that make the weekend feel bigger than just the main stages. Disney+ and Hulu will stream select performances during the first weekend, and the festival is adding a new in-app “Festival Persona” feature that uses Spotify listening history to build a custom identity and playlist tied to the 2026 lineup.
Tickets go on sale today, with one-day passes set to follow later. For a milestone year like this, ACL looks like it is aiming wide and making sure there is something for every kind of festivalgoer.
