Austin City Limits Music Festival will celebrate its 25th anniversary in 2026, with this year’s lineup led by headliners like Charli XCX, RÜFÜS DU SOL, Lorde, and Twenty One Pilots, alongside names like Turnstile, Bleachers, and Brandon Flowers (Weekend 1 only). Like recent years, the festival continues to stretch beyond just its lineup while staying rooted in what’s made it consistent for the past two decades.
3-day GA, GA+, VIP, and Platinum tickets go on sale today at 12 p.m. CT, alongside hotel packages and group hospitality options. The higher tiers continue to build out a more controlled version of the festival experience, with lounges, viewing decks, and all-day food and drink, while GA+ adds smaller upgrades without fully separating from the main grounds.
Outside of the main stages, the Bonus Tracks area returns as a more flexible space for interviews, performances, and pop-up events, reflecting ACL’s shift toward something broader than a standard festival setup. The festival is also expanding digitally this year, with select Weekend One performances streaming on Disney+ and Hulu, alongside a new Spotify feature that builds a personalized “Festival Persona” based on users’ listening habits.
As always, ACL remains closely tied to Zilker Park, with festival proceeds continuing to support public park improvements across Austin. Even at 25 years in, it’s less about reinventing the model and more about expanding it—adding new layers without fully changing the core of what’s already there.
