Austin, get ready — Austin City Limits Music Festival 2026 is almost here, and Weekend One is shaping up to be one for the books (but hey, are we really surprised?). This festival is one that always goes down as one of the best lineups.
From October 2–4, ACL Festival returns to the iconic Zilker Park for three packed days of live music, festival fashion, incredible food, and everything we love about Austin. With more than 100 performances spread across nine stages, there’s no shortage of reasons to start counting down the days.
And can we talk about this lineup?
Friday is coming in HOT with Charli xcx, Skrillex, Turnstile, Labrinth, The Chainsmokers, Leon Thomas, Steve Aoki, Rebecca Black, and more. If you’re heading to Weekend One specifically, Skrillex is one of the weekend exclusives — making Friday an absolute must for our electronic music lovers.
Saturday keeps the momentum going with RÜFÜS DU SOL and Lorde leading a stacked day featuring Lola Young, Young Miko, Bleachers, Suki Waterhouse, Lykke Li, Levity, and plenty more. Between RÜFÜS under the Austin sky and Lorde closing out the T-Mobile stage, Saturday’s schedule is going to have us running across Zilker.
By Sunday, ACL isn’t slowing down. Twenty One Pilots and The xx headline the final night alongside SOFI TUKKER, The War on Drugs, Blood Orange, Parcels, Cannons, Saint Motel, Geese, and more.
Of course, Austin City Limits is about so much more than the headliners. One of our favorite parts of ACL is wandering between stages and discovering an artist you weren’t planning to see. Add in local Austin food, drinks, festival activations, and thousands of music lovers taking over Zilker Park, and you’ve got one of the most iconic festival weekends in the country.
Our advice? Download the schedule, start planning your outfits, stay hydrated, and leave a little room in your itinerary for spontaneity.
The Festival Babes will be on the ground for ACL Weekend One bringing you along for the music, fashion, festival moments, and everything in between.
See you in Austin, babes. 🤠✨
