Billie Eilish, Stevie Nicks, Miley Cyrus, and Erykah Badu topline the poster. Also playing are Megan Thee Stallion, St. Vincent, Phoebe Bridgers, Doja Cat, and Tierra Whack.
Texas music legend George Straight will also take a turn headlining ACL this year, while other notable acts include Modest Mouse, Greta Van Fleet, Black Pumas, DaBaby, Polo G, Freddie Gibbs, and Jack Harlow, Future Islands, Band of Horses, Bleachers, Jon Batiste, Moses Sumney, Tanya Tucker, White Reaper, Trixie Mattel, 070 Shake, Channel Tres, Omar Apollo, Hinds, Durand Jones & The Indications, Toosii, Tkay Maizda, KennyHoopla, Remi Wolf, Nothing,Nowhere., The Hu, and more.
