ACL 2023
Kendrick Lamar, Foo Fighters, Shania Twain, and more headline ACL Fest 2023
The 22nd annual Austin City Limits festival lineup is here, and it's got some gems that could make even the most anti-festv Austinite want to go.
Headlining this year's festival are Kendrick Lamar, Foo Fighters, Mumford & Sons, The Lumineers, Shania Twain (Weekend One only), Odesza, Alanis Morissette, and Hozier.
Also performing are The 1975 (Weekend Two only), Kali Uchis, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Maggie Rogers, Labrinth, Cigarettes After Sex, Niall Horan, Tove Lo, Thirty Seconds to Mars, and many, many more.
The two weekends of reverie will take place October 6-8 and October 13-15, 2023, at Zilker Park. Three-day tickets go on sale Tuesday, May 9, at noon via www.aclfestival.com. There are even layaway plans available, starting at $25 down. Plus as a new feature for 2023, all fees and shipping costs are included upfront, so there are no surprises when you go to the checkout.
The nine-stage event will also feature several Texas artists, including the aforementioned Cigarettes After Sex, Tanya Tucker, d4dv, and Randall King, and more. Some of the Austin-area artists include Asleep At The Wheel (one of the only constants at Austin City Limits from year to year), Ben Kweller, and Die Spitz, a gritty femme punk band making their ACL debut. A few more Texas artists play just one weekend: The Mars Volta and Jane Leo will play only for Weekend One, while Jimmy Vaughn and Tilt-A-Whirl Band and Penny & Sparrow play for Weekend Two only.
Also expected during the 2023 festival is its Bonus Tracks programming, with past appearances including Austin favorite Kate Waitzkin, so stay tuned for that announcement later this summer. Beloved event Austin Kiddie Limits will return for music fans ages 8 and under, with a full lineup and programming to be announced soon.
In addition to general admission tickets, 3-Day GA+ Tickets, 3-Day VIP and Platinum Tickets, and hotel packages are also available. VIP ticketholders will enjoy two private lounges with viewing decks for the two main stages, while Platinum guests have the best seats in the house with exclusive viewing at six stages.
GA ticketholders are also getting a new amenity for 2023. Instead of finding premium cocktails on the menu in select areas only, you'll now be able to order them on bar menus all throughout the festival.
