In case you haven’t been on Instagram lately, Austin City Limits Music Festival announced the lineup for this year’s event, and it’s a star-studded one.
Big name modern musicians like SZA, Lil Nas X, and Kacey Musgraves will headline the festival alongside celebrated legacy artists Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Chicks, and P!nk.
If those icons weren’t enough for you to bust out your fanny pack + sunscreen, the daytime shows will also feature acts from a wide range of musicians. We’re talking Phoenix, Diplo, Conan Gray, Spoon, Japanese Breakfast, Carly Rae Jepsen, Aly & AJ, Asleep at the Wheel, and dozens more… whew.
ACL tickets are on sale now, with three-day general admission passes costing $295. The festival will take place on the weekends of Oct. 7-9 + Oct. 14-16 — but you don’t have to wait until then to listen to great music in Austin.
