Austin City Limits Music Festival announces headliners for 2026

If you’re hoping to attend the renowned Austin City Limits Music Festival, here are the dates for this year. The festival takes place over two weekends: October 2nd-4th and October 9th-11th. Each weekend runs from Friday to Sunday.

You’ll probably want to know who’s performing! The main headliners are Charli XCX, Rüfüs Du Sol, Twenty One Pilots, Lorde, and The xx. Skrillex will also be a headliner for the first weekend, and Kings of Leon will headline the second. But the incredible lineup beyond the headliners might be the biggest draw.

Beyond the main acts, you’ll also find great bands and artists like Geese, Amyl and the Sniffers, Finn Wolfhard, and the Chainsmokers – and many more! This event isn’t just about a few hit songs; it’s about discovering a ton of amazing music and having an unforgettable time, which people often say happens here.

Austin City Limits Music Festival: What you need to know

You can purchase three-day festival tickets on the official website, and it’s best to buy them early to avoid price increases. They even offer a payment plan. General admission tickets for the first weekend start at $380, while the second weekend is a bit cheaper at $365.

Y’all Access passes are currently unavailable. If you’re hoping to get one next year, you’ll need to plan ahead and be quick when they go on sale.

The festival takes place at Zilker Park in Austin and will feature a wide variety of vendors. Hotel rooms tend to book up fast, so it’s best to reserve yours as soon as possible – we recommend checking Expedia or a similar website right away.

What’s strange about the 2026 festival is how incredibly talented all the headliners are. While they’re all capable performers, someone like Geese could easily have been chosen instead of Twenty One Pilots, who aren’t as strong musically.

One of the best things about this event is the diverse music lineup. You’ll hear everything from country and rock to incredible electronic artists like Rüfüs Du Sol and Skrillex. Plus, you’re sure to discover some new favorites – it’s going to be a fantastic experience!
