Austin City Limits Festival 2026

Austin City Limits Music Festival returns to Zilker Park in Austin, Texas in October 2026 across two consecutive weekends, continuing its tradition as one of America's premier outdoor music events. Founded in 2002 as an extension of the legendary Austin City Limits public television program, ACL Fest draws over 75,000 attendees per day across six stages and two weekends of programming.

What Makes ACL Fest Special

ACL Fest is celebrated for the extraordinary diversity of its lineup, which routinely spans rock, pop, country, electronic, hip-hop, folk, indie, and beyond - reflecting Austin's vibrant and eclectic music culture. Past headliners have included Stevie Wonder, Pearl Jam, Radiohead, Paul McCartney, Billie Eilish, and The Killers. Zilker Park is one of the most scenic festival grounds in the country, with views of the downtown Austin skyline and the hills of the Texas Hill Country as a natural backdrop.

The festival's food and beverage program is consistently ranked among the best in the festival world, showcasing Austin's acclaimed restaurant and craft beverage scene. The two-weekend format gives attendees flexibility - see the same lineup across either weekend, or attend both for a deeper experience. ACL Fest is also strongly committed to sustainability, with robust recycling, composting, and carbon offset programs.
