Austin City Limits Music Festival (ACL) is the city’s highly anticipated music festival that takes place every October. The festival features a diverse lineup of acts yearly with nine stages, 100+ performances – and, best of all, two weekends. Learn more about this year’s lineup and what to expect for the 2024 festival (October 4-6 and 11-13, 2024).
The Austin City Limits Music Festival began in 2002 and was named after the music TV series “Austin City Limits,” the longest-running music television show in history. Over the years, ACL has hosted international superstars, including Metallica, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Kendrick Lamar, Arcade Fire, Jay Z, and Billie Eilish. Festival goers may also get the chance to catch the next big act in their early career on one of the many stages.
The ACL festival is held at Zilker Park in South Austin and can be accessed through three different entrances open from midday to 10 PM. While there are plenty of accommodations near Zilker Park, it’s essential to book early—hotels in the area fill up quickly!
