Austin City Limits 2026: Charli XCX, Lorde, and The XX to headline 25th anniversary line-up
Charli XCX, Lorde, and The XX are set to take to the stage as some of the headliners for Austin City Limits 2026, in its 25th anniversary year.
The festival, returning for its special edition over two weekends from October 2nd to 4th and 9th to 11th, 2026, in the state capital of Texas, with a massive line-up to match the celebrations.
Alongside Charli XCX, Lorde, and The XX, the other headline performances will come from Rüfüs Du Sol, Twenty One Pilots, Skrillex on the first weekend, and Kings of Leon on the second.
Elsewhere, other massive names on the bill for both weekends include the likes of Turnstile, Geese, Labrinth, Lola Young, Bleachers, Blood Orange, Suki Waterhouse, Amyl and the Sniffers, and Audrey Hobert.
For those not heading to the festival or who live too far away, however, no one has to miss out on the action from the first weekend, as Disney+ and Hulu are set to livestream the event.
On the part of all the main headliners, it comes as yet another major festival slot for this year, with all three taking to massive stages across the UK, Europe, and the US this summer.
Notably for Charli XCX, it marks one of her rare live appearances for this year, with headline shows already confirmed for Reading and Leeds Festival, Lollapalooza, and Outside Lands having previously been announced for this summer.
The huge Austin City Limits line-up comes after its main bill for 2025 consisted of the seven headliners Sabrina Carpenter, Hozier, Doja Cat, The Strokes, Luke Combs, John Summit, and Doechii.
Tickets for both weekends of Austin City Limits go on sale from May 5th at 12pm CT.
