Some foreboding news arrived Friday morning (October 1st) of Austin City Limits‘ first weekend after two years away: heavy overnight rains in Austin forced organizers to cancel the first two hours of the fest, effectively eliminating most local talent, and push door time back to 3:00 p.m. With the memory of Bonnaroo’s recent cancellation due to flooding from Hurricane Ida still lingering and predictions that more storms were coming, there was a veritable moment of fear that we were witnessing the doom of another fest. And to make matters worse, it would have nothing to do COVID-19 safety, which was handled masterfully (though vaccination and test results checks did cause annoying waits on Day 1) — why the cruel irony, Mother Nature? Why?! Then, in twist of good luck, the torrential downpou...

As the nation’s vaccination rate increases, music festivals all over the country have begun to plan for their return. The latest to do so is the multi-genre Austin City Limits festival. This morning organizers announced the complete lineup of artists who will be taking the stage at the event’s 20th-anniversary spectacular this October.

Headliners for this year’s event include Billie Eilish, Miley Cyrus, Erykah Badu, Stevie Nicks, George Strait, DaBaby, and the lone electronic act, RÜFÜS DU SOL. While the headlining cast is not exactly electronic-forward, the fest’s undercard features a solid selection of talent. This includes Alison Wonderland, Ma...

Marking the festival’s 20th anniversary, ACL 2021 goes down October 1st-3rd and October 8th-10th at Zilker Park in Austin, Texas.

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.

As festivals finally return, it seems like each event is trying to outdo the competition by curating lineups that are a bit…unusual. This is a good thing! Usually, when these things are announced, there’s a logic behind who plays where. But yesterday’s Lollapalooza reveal had folks wondering what audience the event is for (apparently you can try to be everything for everyone) but today’s Austin City Limits lineup took that to another level, with a diverse slate of impressive acts. This year’s bill, which marks the fest’s 20th edition, will feature headlining artists George Strait, Billie Eilish, Stevie Nicks, Miley Cyrus, Erykah Badu, DaBaby and Rüfüs Du Sol. That’s some variety for you. Sure, there’s some of the 2021 standbys in the lineup, but that’s to be expected because you know, not ...
Austin City Limits has officially canceled its 2020 festival amid ongoing concerns over the coronavirus pandemic. The Texas music festival was quietly holding out hope that it could continue as scheduled for this fall, likely because this year marks the 20th anniversary of Austin City Limits and special celebrations were in the works for such. Thankfully, ACL will celebrate that milestone next year when it returns to Zilker Park on October 1st – 3rd and October 8th – 10th in 2021. “We would have loved to put on another memorable show this year, however, with the uncertainty surrounding the current situation in Texas, this decision is the only responsible solution,” ACL organizers wrote in a statement. “The health and safety of our fans, artists, partners, staff, and the entire Austin commu...
Beloved Texas music fest Austin City Limits is the latest major festival brand to bite the dust due to the impact of COVID-19. The fest, which takes place annually at Austin’s sprawling Zilker Park, houses eight stages and attracts approximately 450,000 people each year. The 2019 iteration of ACL featured a gargantuan lineup anchored by headliners Guns N’ Roses, Mumford & Sons, Childish Gambino, The Cure, Cardi B, Billie Eilish, Tame Impala, and Robyn. Many major artists in electronic music also appeared on the bill, including GRiZ, Fisher, Kaytranada, TroyBoi, Jai Wolf, and James Blake, among many others. In an official statement posted on the festival’s website, organizers cited the “uncertainty surrounding the current situation” in Texas ...
