It’s everyone’s favorite time of year – the Austin City Limits lineup for 2025 is officially here! The fest will be taking place from October 3rd-5th and October 10th-12th, and features acts like Sabrina Carpenter, The Strokes, Doechii, Polo & Pan, Feid, and many more.
Everyone in Austin always counts down the days to celebrate two weekends of amazing live music, the best food Austin has to offer, and that great Zilker Park vibe. Austin City Limits 2025 released their lineup earlier this week, and features some heavy-hitters in the music industry, amazing selections of upcoming acts and some who are making their Austin return. From singing along to the 2024 hit of the summer to discovering your new favorite band at the BMI stage, ACL 2025 definitely has something for everyone.
This year’s headliners are a mix of heavyweights in the pop, rock, country, and electronic genres. Popstar Sabrina Carpenter is set to perform her only Texas dates at ACL in promotion of her upcoming album A Man’s Best Friend, due for release in late August. The Strokes were a major twist to the lineup, as they haven’t released an album since 2020 and were last on the festival circuit in 2023 – making it a highly anticipated set. Country king Luke Combs serves as this year’s yee-haw act, who’s had one hell of a touring run. Known EDM DJ John Summit will make his return to Austin, who last performed at SXSW 2025’s Billboard event.
Besides the headliners, this year’s lineup marks the return of Latin music to the fest, as 2025 will welcome a few notable Latin superstars. Vamos a parchar con el Ferxxo, as Colombian reggaetonero FEID will be taking over with his infectious tracks on both weekends. Rapid up-and-coming sibling trio Latin Mafia will also take over Zilker Park, as they most notably finished up a sold-out US tour run and have been appearing at numerous international festivals. Argentinian duo Ca7riel and Paco Amoroso are also set to perform, who recently saw a huge rise to fame to their iconic Tiny Desk performance and latest EP Papota.
Smaller artists include Austin / Texas favorites Farmer’s Wife, Briscoe, INOHA, and Shallowater – acts to have on your radar. Other artists on this year’s lineup include Hey Nothing, Girl Tones, South Arcade, Julie, Spill Tab and many more!
Forget the headliners, we are excited to share some amazing smallers artists who are making a splash in the genres you love. Check out the soulful sounds of local Austin fave, The Moonlight Drifters, the indie-pop newbie, Luna Bloom, and the blues-rock powerhouse, South Congress Heat. These are the artists you will be telling your friends you saw them before they blew up! Be sure to follow our socials for plenty more artist spotlights in the months to come.
Austin City Limits 2025 will be happening on 10/3-10/5 and 10/10-10/12. Check out the full lineup and get your ACL tickets here: https://www.aclfestival.com/
