Charli XCX, RÜFÜS DU SOL, Twenty One Pilots, Lorde Headline Austin City Limits Festival's 25th Anniversary

Austin City Limits Music Festival has revealed its 2026 lineup, with Charli XCX, RÜFÜS DU SOL, Twenty One Pilots, Lorde and The xx topping the bill for the festival’s 25th anniversary edition.

The two-weekend festival is scheduled for October 2-4 and October 9-11, 2026, at Zilker Park in Austin, Texas. The 2026 bill leans heavily into pop, alternative, electronic and indie acts, with Skrillex appearing as a Weekend 1 headliner and Kings of Leon filling that slot for Weekend 2.

Other major names on the ACL 2026 lineup include Turnstile, Labrinth, Lola Young, The Chainsmokers, Geese, Young Miko, Bleachers, Sofi Tukker, Parcels, The War on Drugs, Leon Thomas, Blood Orange, Lykke Li, Max McNown, Suki Waterhouse, Amyl and the Sniffers, Snow Strippers, Steve Aoki, Audrey Hobert, Jesse Welles, Saint Motel, Houndmouth, LP, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Natasha Bedingfield, Claire Rosinkranz, Noga Erez, CMAT, Rebecca Black, Finn Wolfhard, Ryan Beatty and more.

ACL’s 2026 announcement continues a busy festival season for several of the top-billed artists. Charli XCX, Lorde, The xx and RÜFÜS DU SOL have all been prominent names on major 2026 festival lineups, giving ACL a bill that aligns closely with the broader pop and alternative festival landscape while still giving the Austin event several weekend-specific wrinkles.
