The Austin City Limits Music Festival is shaping up to be the highlight of the year with a star-studded lineup featuring Dua Lipa, Tyler, The Creator, and Chris Stapleton among the headliners for its 2024 edition. The iconic music event, set to kick off in Zilker Park with two action-packed weekends on Oct. 4-6 and Oct. 11-13, also boasts the inclusion of Blink-182, Sturgill Simpson, and Pretty Lights, as FOX San Antonio reported.
In what's billed as a first for ACL Fest, both Dua Lipa and Blink-182 are making their debut appearances, adding a fresh twist to the festival's already eclectic mix. And they're in good company, with over 30 Texas artists set to perform, including Khruangbin and Leon Bridges. The lineup also gets a taste of Latin flair with acts like Carin León, The Marías, and Hermanos Gutiérrez, according to the FOX San Antonio coverage of the story.
The two weekends will be jammed with performances from a plethora of artists across nine stages. Noteworthy acts such as Jess Glynne, Norah Jones, and Vince Staples are expected to grace the stage for both weekends, as per Rolling Stone. With a lineup this diverse, festival-goers are guaranteed an eclectic auditory experience spanning multiple genres and styles.
For those itching to get their hands on tickets, the sale is set to go live today at noon CT with a variety of options, including General Admission and VIP packages. Layaway plans will be made available at the on-sale time for those looking to budget their festival experience. And if past festivals are any indication, these tickets won’t be available for long, especially with this being the first time Dua Lipa and Blink-182 are performing at ACL, as noted by Rolling Stone.
As an added bonus, some artists are slotted for exclusive weekend performances. Audiences can look forward to unique sets from the likes of Kehlani and Santigold, among others, on their respective weekends, ensuring each leg of the festival offers its own surprises. With the music and the atmosphere set to be electrifying, this year's Austin City Limits is undoubtedly a can't-miss event for music aficionados.
