10/02/2026 – 10/11/2026
Austin City Limits Music Festival returns to Zilker Park for two weekends, October 2–4 and October 9–11, 2026. The 2026 festival marks 25 years of ACL Fest, with more than 100 performances scheduled across nine stages in the heart of Austin.
Inspired by the long-running Austin City Limits television series, ACL Fest has become one of Austin’s signature annual events. The festival combines major touring artists with emerging performers, Texas music, food, and the outdoor setting of Zilker Park near downtown Austin.
The 2026 lineup spans rock, pop, electronic, alternative, hip-hop, and other genres, with Charli XCX, RÜFÜS DU SOL, Twenty One Pilots, Lorde, and The xx among the featured artists. Skrillex appears during Weekend One, while Kings of Leon joins the festival for Weekend Two.
With performances spread across two consecutive weekends, ACL draws visitors from throughout the United States and abroad. Hotels, private aviation, ground transportation, and other travel services can see increased demand around both festival weekends.
JetOptions Private Jets arranges private jet charter flights to Austin for ACL Fest attendees, artists and their guests, entertainment professionals, corporate travelers, and private groups traveling to the festival.
Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) is the city’s primary airport, while Austin Executive Airport (EDC) provides a dedicated general aviation option north of Austin. San Marcos Regional Airport (HYI) and Georgetown Executive Airport (GTU) can provide additional alternatives depending on the aircraft, origin, availability, and plans while in Central Texas.
