Austin City Limits Music Festival announces 25th anniversary lineup led by Charli XCX, Lorde, and Twenty One Pilots
The Austin City Limits Music Festival has unveiled the lineup for its 25th anniversary edition, featuring headliners Charli XCX, RÜFÜS DU SOL, Twenty One Pilots, Lorde, Skrillex, Kings of Leon, and The xx.
The two-weekend festival is scheduled for Oct. 2-4 and Oct. 9-11 at Zilker Park in Austin, Texas. Organizers said three-day tickets for both weekends go on sale May 5.
The 2026 lineup also includes a wide range of artists across genres, including Turnstile, Labrinth, Lola Young, The Chainsmokers, Young Miko, Bleachers, Sofi Tukker, Parcels, and The War on Drugs, along with additional performances from Leon Thomas and Brandon Flowers.
Festival organizers said the event will span nine stages and continue its tradition of showcasing both established acts and emerging talent. This year’s lineup includes a number of developing artists and a strong presence of Latin performers, alongside Texas-based acts highlighting the festival’s regional roots.
Now in its 25th year, the festival has become one of the largest music events in the United States. Organizers said the event has contributed tens of millions of dollars to local park improvements through its partnership with the Austin Parks Foundation.
Additional programming, including family-friendly offerings and broadcast details via streaming platforms, is expected to be announced at a later date.
