Just two days after Austin City Limits Music Festival announced its general lineup, it's shared who will be playing on which days. Fans who were holding out on single-day passes can now make their decision.
One-day general admission, GA+, VIP, Platinum, Bungalow and Party Space tickets will go on sale May 8 at noon at aclfestival.com. Three-day passes are sold out for both weekends, as have Weekend One GA+ tickets. Weekend One is October 3-5, followed by Weekend Two from October 10-12.
Here are the five artists leading up to each day's headliners:
- Friday: Hozier, Luke Combs, Cage the Elephant, Empire of the Sun, Rilo Kiley (W2), Maren Morris (W1), Role Model, Dr. Dog
- Saturday: Sabrina Carpenter, The Strokes, Doechii, Djo, Pierce The Veil (W2), Zeds Dead (W2), Samy Virji (W1), The Backseat Lovers (W1), Modest Mouse (W1), Japanese Breakfast
- Sunday: Doja Cat, John Summit, Feid, T-Pain, Mk.gee, Polo & Pan, Rainbow Kitten Surprise
There's usually a vague sense of a theme each day, ensuring that single-day guests will get to see shows that largely align with their taste. It seems this time that Friday will be for country fans with some general festival crowd-pleasers; Saturday is for the extremely buzzy leading ladies like Sabrina Carpenter and Doechii, with some nostalgic alternative rock on the other side; and Sunday will be for attendees coming to dance.

Viewers can watch festival from afar on Hulu, the official streaming partner for performances, interviews, and more. Hulu will only stream the first weekend.
In between the lineup and the lineup by day announcements, ACL Fest shared an impact report detailing how funds generated will help its partner, Austin Parks Foundation. So far, it tallies more than $71 million towards improvements to Austin parks including Zilker Park, where the festival is held. In 2024, the total was $8.4 million.
ACL Fest maintains SMS and email lists for announcements, alongside its social media accounts. Fans can sign up at the bottom of the page at aclfestival.com.
