Austin City Limits Music Festival is set to take place on October 3-5, 2025 for Weekend 1 and October 10-12, 2025 for Weekend 2. The festival as always, provides an incredible amount of activities, performers, and food – here are some that we think should be checked out this year!

Music

One of the best parts about ACL is the variety of musical artists. This year, some of the performers include: Hozier, Luke Combs, Sabrina Carpenter, Doechii, The Killers, Feid and many more. Some of the artists we recommend to watch would be Role Model, as he has been having an excellent year, especially with his viral hit “Sally, When the Wine Runs Out”. Pierce The Veil would also be a great set to see, especially if you want a hint of nostalgia to “emo years”. The best part about ACL is that there will always be someone to watch and listen to. The festival always does an excellent job at having a variety of artists in the lineup, whether you want to see major headliners, or discover new artists, ACL will have something for everyone, which makes the festival beyond unique.

Activities and Food

Besides music, ACL will never disappoint with activities and food. As usual, ACL will have an American Express activation where cardmembers will have access to special activities, views and exclusive merchandise. Additional activations this year include The Google Play Rewards Tour, Hacienda PATRÓN, T-Mobile Club Magenta and many more! There are plenty of activations for all ages. Photo ops are a MUST at ACL – don’t forget to stop by and take pictures at the iconic “ACL Fest” sign, the flags or at any activations and activities throughout the festival. If there’s something about ACL, is that that a picture perfect moment can be found anywhere in the park. Food is an important part of festivals, and ACL knows how to appeal to all guests. This years vendors include: Vaquero Taquero, Happy Chicks, The Mighty Cone, Juiceland, Amy’s Ice Cream, Iron Burger and many more! No matter what someone may want to eat, there will always be an option for everyone. Lastly, we have ACL Market, where you can shop with different vendors such as Lost Valley, The Divine Mystics and Austin Art Garage, each providing a unique shopping experience for attendees.
