Austin City Limits Music Festival is celebrating its 25th anniversary at Zilker Park, with Charli xcx, Skrillex, Lorde, RÜFÜS DU SOL, The xx and Twenty One Pilots among the Weekend One highlights.
Austin City Limits Music Festival has officially entered its 25th-anniversary edition, bringing its first weekend of performances to Austin’s Zilker Park from October 2 through October 4.
The 2026 festival is spread across two weekends, with the second running October 9-11. For viewers who cannot make it to Texas, Disney+ and Hulu are also carrying an official livestream of Weekend One.
The first weekend features 92 artists, with Charli xcx and Skrillex leading Friday’s bill, Lorde and RÜFÜS DU SOL taking the top spots Saturday, and The xx and Twenty One Pilots closing out the weekend Sunday.

That gives Weekend One a particularly broad mix of pop, rock, electronic, indie, alternative, hip-hop and other styles rather than concentrating on a single genre.
How to watch ACL Festival 2026 from home
The official livestream is available on both Disney+ and Hulu during Weekend One. The festival says subscribers can access the livestream at no additional cost, while Disney’s viewing information specifies that live access requires an eligible subscription.
For viewers in the Eastern time zone, Disney lists the livestream windows as:
- Friday, October 2: 5 p.m. to 12:20 a.m. ET
- Saturday, October 3: 4:15 p.m. to 12:05 a.m. ET
- Sunday, October 4: 4:30 p.m. to 12:55 a.m. ET
The Saturday and Sunday streams therefore remain available into the following calendar day for East Coast viewers.
The Disney+ listing identifies Charli xcx, Twenty One Pilots, Lorde, Skrillex and The xx among the artists included in the livestream, along with sets from artists including Bleachers, Brandon Flowers, Labrinth, Lola Young, Lykke Li, Parcels, Suki Waterhouse, Turnstile and The War on Drugs.
One important distinction is that the livestream lineup is not necessarily identical to every artist appearing at the physical festival. The streaming service has published its own selection of performers for the broadcast.
ACL Fest’s 25th anniversary continues next weekend
Weekend One is only the beginning of the 2026 festival. ACL Fest returns to Zilker Park for Weekend Two from October 9-11.
The second weekend changes some of the lineup, including Kings of Leon in place of Weekend One’s Skrillex as one of the weekend-specific headliners. The recurring top-billed acts include Charli xcx, Lorde, RÜFÜS DU SOL, Twenty One Pilots and The xx.
For now, the focus is on the first three days: three days of live music in Austin, with the added option of following selected performances from home through Disney+ and Hulu.
