Charli XCX, RÜFÜS DU SOL, Twenty One Pilots, Lorde and Skrillex Lead Austin City Limits 2026 Lineup

Austin City Limits Festival is marking its 25th anniversary with a headliner slate built to pull in nearly every corner of the modern festival crowd: Charli XCX, RÜFÜS DU SOL, Twenty One Pilots, Lorde, Skrillex (weekend one), Kings of Leon and The xx are set to top the bill this fall at Zilker Park.

The two-weekend event returns Oct. 2-4 and Oct. 9-11 with a nine-stage lineup spanning pop, rock, dance, country and folk. Beyond the top line, this year’s roster includes Turnstile, Labrinth, Lola Young, The Chainsmokers, Geese, Young Miko, Bleachers, SOFI TUKKER, Parcels, The War on Drugs, Leon Thomas and Killers frontman Brandon Flowers (weekend one).

Additional artists announced include Blood Orange, Lykke Li, Suki Waterhouse, Amyl and the Sniffers, Snow Strippers, Cannons (weekend one), Steve Aoki, Jesse Welles, Fakemink, Saint Motel, Houndmouth (weekend two), Fcukers, Paris Paloma, LP, Natasha Bedingfield (weekend two) and Skye Newman.

Three-day GA, GA+, VIP and Platinum passes go on sale today at 1 p.m. ET, with layaway plans available. One-day tickets are expected at a later date. As in previous years, children 8 and under can enter general admission areas free with a ticketed adult. The Austin Kiddie Limits lineup will be announced later this summer.

Outside the main stages, ACL will again program its Bonus Tracks stage, a smaller platform for artist interviews, podcast tapings, cooking demos, drag performances and other live programming.

For fans watching remotely, Disney+ and Hulu will stream select performances and interviews from the first weekend, with a broadcast schedule to be released in the coming months.

The festival is also launching a new in-app feature called Festival Persona, designed to map users’ Spotify listening habits against the 2026 lineup and generate a personalized playlist.
