ACL Festival 2026 is coming up this weekend with a stacked lineup of DJs and bands in Austin, Texas.
Austin City Limits set times have been out for months, and now, the festival is officially here. With six days of music across the first two weekends of October, ACL Festival is a long-standing event thrown by the same company behind Lollapalooza.
Staying true to its name, Austin City Limits has a more live music-focused lineup compared to its Chicago counterpart. While there is no Perry’s Stage or dedicated EDM tent, ACL always brings a diverse lineup with several electronic acts.
Some of the scene’s biggest names will descend on Zilker Park in Austin for ACL. Take a look at three of our most anticipated sets of the weekend below, and grab your ACL Festival tickets now before they sell out.
The Chainsmokers, 7:30-8:30 Friday, Snapchat Stage
The Chainsmokers have been at the top of the EDM (and mainstream music) charts for over a decade. They’ve continued to revolutionize their sound over the years while always showing love to their massive singalong anthems. The duo closed out Perry’s on the last day of Lollapalooza this year, and hearing the entire crowd sing along to “Paris” was a highlight of the weekend. The Chainsmokers will play a mix of their radio hits and deeper big room and bass sounds during their highly anticipated set.
Skrillex, 8:15 Friday, T-Mobile Stage
The legendary dubstep and bass producer Skrillex is closing out mainstage on Friday night. While his sets cover a wide variety of genres, Skrillex stays true to his roots and always plays his most popular classics. This is especially true when headlining a multi-genre festival like Austin City Limits. Expect “Bangarang” and “Scary Monsters” combined with selections from across his career and tracks from collaborators like Knock2 and MPH.
Rufus du Sol, 8:30 Saturday, American Express Stage
The live electronic music trio Rufus Du Sol will grace the American Express Stage to close out Saturday of both ACL weekends. Rufus has enjoyed a well deserved meteoric rise over the last few years, headlining festivals and selling out shows across the world. These talented musicians perform a mesmerizing blend of live instrumentation and electronic production, creating an immersive experience that has become a signature of their acclaimed live shows.
