ACTIVEDescription
Austin City Limits Music Festival returns to the iconic Zilker Park for two unforgettable weekends in October 2026, cementing its place as one of America's premier music celebrations. Set against the stunning backdrop of downtown Austin's skyline, ACL Fest transforms 46 acres of rolling parkland into a sprawling musical wonderland, hosting hundreds of artists across multiple stages and genres — from indie rock and hip-hop to country, electronic, and beyond. Whether you choose Weekend One (October 2–4) or Weekend Two (October 9–11), you're guaranteed a world-class lineup curated to satisfy every musical appetite.
Attendees can choose from single-day tickets for Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, or opt for the ultimate experience with a 3-Day Pass, granting access to all the action across a full weekend. Beyond the music, ACL Fest is a feast for the senses — local Austin food vendors serve up legendary Texas cuisine, artisan markets showcase independent creators, and the energy of tens of thousands of passionate music lovers fills the air with an electric, community-driven atmosphere that only Austin can provide.
Zilker Park's expansive grounds offer ample space to roam between stages, discover new favorite artists, and soak in the warm October Texas sunshine. ACL Fest is more than a concert — it's a cultural institution that embodies Austin's soul as the Live Music Capital of the World. Secure your passes early and prepare for a weekend (or two) you'll never forget.
