The Austin City Limits (ACL) started in 2002 in Austin, Texas. is a multi-day event over two consecutive weekends in Zilker Park in Austin, Texas. C3 Presents, based in Austin, also puts on the Lollapalooza music festival in Chicago, inspired by the KLRU/PBS music series of the same name. The Festival has been going strong since 2002, although it has always been a one-weekend affair.

Austin Eats, the Festival's food court, was inspired by the one at the Jazz Fest in New Orleans. At Austin Eats, you may find gluten-free and vegetarian alternatives and vendors from local Austin eateries. The ACL Art Market sits in the heart of Zilker Park and is filled with local and regional artists selling their wares for the length of the event.

The festival spans two weekends in October and features over 100 artists on multiple stages. The festival derives its name from the famous TV show Austin City Limits, which helped make the city renowned for its vibrant live music scene. People love the wide mix of sounds, from rock and country to hip-hop and pop, all in one place.

Over the years, ACL Fest has brought in huge names like Stevie Wonder, Billie Eilish, George Strait, and Kendrick Lamar. However, it also shines a spotlight on new artists and local Texas bands. Along with the music, the festival has food from top Austin restaurants, an art market, and even a special area for kids and families. The views of the city skyline, the friendly crowds, and the easygoing vibe make it one of the most loved music events in the country. People come back year after year for the music, the fun, and the Austin feel.

In 2025, ACL Fest will take place on the weekends of October 3-5 and October 10-12. This year’s lineup includes Post Malone, Megan Thee Stallion, Blink 182, and Noah Kahan as headliners. More than 100 acts are set to perform over both weekends. Tickets went on sale in May, and fans from all over the country are already making plans.
