25 years in, Austin City Limits Music Festival is still setting the standard. The 2026 lineup for ACL Fest lands with serious weight: Charli XCX, RÜFÜS DU SOL, Twenty One Pilots, Lorde, Skrillex, Kings of Leon and The xx headline across 2 weekends at Zilker Park in Austin, Texas. The festival runs October 2-4 and October 9-11, with 3-day tickets on sale now at aclfestival.com.
Beyond the headliners, the supporting lineup covers serious ground. Turnstile, Labrinth, Lola Young, The Chainsmokers, Bleachers, Sofi Tukker, Parcels, The War On Drugs, Leon Thomas and Brandon Flowers are among the acts filling out a 9-stage celebration that has always balanced superstar draws with genuine discovery. A strong Latin contingent includes Young Miko, Rodrigo y Gabriela and rusowsky, while a dedicated group of Texas homegrown artists reinforces the festival’s roots, including Asleep At The Wheel and the Huston Tillotson University Jazz Collective.
Emerging talent gets its own spotlight, with ones-to-watch including Paris Paloma, Lola Young, Sasha Keable, Claire Rosinkranz and Faouzia among the artists positioned for breakout moments on ACL Fest’s stages. The festival has a long track record of launching careers, and the 2026 lineup continues that tradition.
Disney+ and Hulu return as the official streaming destinations for Weekend One, October 2-4. Spotify is also partnering with the festival on a new in-app experience that maps fans’ listening history to the lineup and generates a personalized festival playlist. Since 2006, ACL Fest and Austin Parks Foundation have generated over $79 million toward improvements to Zilker Park and parks across Austin, with $8.5 million contributed in 2025 alone.
