2021 ACL Festival Dates
2021 is the 20th year of Austin City Limits Festival, and 19th time the amazing festival has been held since the 2020 edition was cancelled. ACL is as popular as it has ever been and no fans got to attend last year, which makes demand for ACL tickets in 2021 even bigger. Consider securing your tickets early because in 2019 the demand for tickets peaked in the two weeks leading up to the festival which sent the prices way up (particularly for Weekend One).
The 2021 ACL dates are October 1-3 for Weekend One and October 8-10 for Weekend Two. Tickets for both weekends will be available here, so buy with confidence knowing you are working with local Austin company who has handled passes for every ACL Festival going back to the first one.
Austin City Limits Festival Tickets
ACL Fest is an outdoor music festival that takes place each fall at Zilker Park in Austin, Texas. The three-day festival plays over two consecutive weekends with the same headliners and lineup generally playing both weekends.
It started in 2002 and each year features over 150 musicians, artists and bands. There are eight stages across the park that ACL artists play on throughout the day. The gates on Friday open around Noon and the shows finish on Sunday night once the last headliner completes their set. There is plenty of delicious food and beverages that are sold by some of Austin's coolest restaurants.
TicketCity is located in Austin and has offered ACL Festival wristbands for sale each year. Fans can purchase an ACL 3-day wristband, or buy single day wristbands for Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Single day or three-day passes are available for both Weekend One and Weekend Two of the festival.

2021 ACL Festival Lineup
The lineup for 2021 ACL Music Festival will be released in the Spring and posted here as soon as it is available. Sadly ACL 2020 was cancelled, but the 2019 ACL Festival headliners included Guns N' Roses, Mumford & Sons, Childish Gambino, The Cure, Billie Eilish, and Tame Impala. Many of those headliners delivered performances that had the crowd at Zilker Park buzzing. Although the show that everyone was talking about was Lizzo, who many ACL veterans say had the biggest crowd they had ever witnessed. Kacey Musgraves and Lauren Daigle also put on acclaimed performances at ACL 2019. We look forward to seeing an amazing number of performance at ACL 2021.
