The hottest names in music are slated to descend on Austin this fall for the 2024 edition of the Austin City Limits Music Festival. Fans will get a chance to see global pop star Dua Lipa, Grammy-winning sensation Chris Stapleton, and hip-hop heavyweight Tyler, the Creator take the stage as headliners, according to KVUE. Blink-182, Sturgill Simpson, and Pretty Lights are also gearing up to join these titans of tunes at Zilker Park over two consecutive weekends, from October 4-6 and October 11-13.
The festival is known for not only showcasing established artists but also giving stage to up-and-coming talents. This year, the lineup has expanded beautifully to include the Renaissance indie vibes of Khruangbin and the soulful undertones of Leon Bridges, reported by The Austin Chronicle. Music aficionados can also look forward to diverse acts ranging from Norah Jones to Vince Staples and Kevin Abstract, promising an eclectic mix bound to resonate with fans of all stripes.
For those trying desperately to score a ticket, three-day passes for ACL Fest will start to be available on May 7 at noon, with prices beginning at $360. The ACL Fest has historically drawn large crowds, with its previous iteration featuring acts like Kendrick Lamar and Foo Fighters. This year's event promises to be no less than a sell-out sensation with such an impressive constellation of stars.
While the lineup boasts international names, the heart of the festival is its local flavor. Many Austin-based performers like Bob Schneider and Asleep at the Wheel are expected to quickly start rounding out the days with their sets, heralding the fest's commitment to showcasing homegrown talent. Additionally, acts like Still Woozy and Kenny Beats are among those confirmed by The Austin Chronicle to be playing exclusively on the first weekend, while others such as Tyla and Santigold are scheduled only for the second, ensuring each weekend offers a unique experience to attendees.
As for now, festival officials haven't released any information concerning the availability of one-day wristbands. Last year's attendees enjoyed a robust roster, including legends like Shania Twain and newcomers such as Hozier. With the current lineup looking to build upon last year's success, the festival is poised to cement its status as a premier musical gathering in the heart of Texas.
