Austin City Limits 2025: Full line-up revealed with The Strokes and Sabrina Carpenter among seven headliners
Austin City Limits have unveiled the full line-up for its 2025 edition which will be topped by The Strokes and Sabrina Carpenter.
The Texan festival will run for two weekends in October, the first of which takes place between October 3rd and October 5th in Zilker Park, Austin. It will then return on October 10th until October 12th with a slightly adjusted bill of artists.
Although some musical acts will only perform at one weekend of the event, the seven headliners, Sabrina Carpenter, Hozier, Doja Cat, The Strokes, Luke Combs, John Summit and Doechii, will perform at both weekends.
Other notable names include Feid, Cage The Elephant, Empire of the Sun, Djo, Wet Leg, Car Seat Headrest, Modest Mouse, T-Pain, The Dare, MJ Lenderman, Japanese Breakfast, Mk.Gee, Rilo Kiley, and Confidence Man. However, Rilo Kiley and Car Seat Headrest will only perform at weekend two.
Exclusive acts to weekend one include Sammy Virji, Modest Mouse, Maren Morris, Celeste and The Backseat Lovers.
The inclusion of The Strokes marks a live comeback for the indie icons since early 2024, when they played at Chicago’s Credit Union 1 Arena as a benefit for local Democratic candidate Kina Collins. Although they did tour extensively globally in 2023. Their last album, The New Abnormal, was released in 2020.
In The Strokes’ absence, frontman Julian Casablancas has focused on The Voidz. Last year, they released Like All Before You, their first full-length project in six years.
Meanwhile, Austin City Limits headliner Sabrina Carpenter is set to play two huge shows at BST Hyde Park in London this summer and headline a host of other festivals, including Primavera Sound in Barcelona.
