The 25th-anniversary event will span two October weekends, with first-weekend performances streaming on Disney+ and Hulu.
- The Austin City Limits Music Festival announced its 25th-anniversary lineup on Tuesday, featuring headliners Charli XCX, Lorde, and Twenty One Pilots returning to Zilker Park October 2-4 and October 9-11.
- Since its 2002 debut, ACL has evolved from a two-day event to a sprawling production across nine stages. This year's lineup spans rock, pop, dance, country and folk across two weekends.
- Disney+ and Hulu will stream select performances during the first weekend, while the festival introduces a custom 'Festival Persona' in-app experience that will spotlight the overlap between the user and their Spotify listening history.

- Economic data shows the festival remains a major driver for Austin; last year's event contributed $557.8 million to the local economy. Since 2006, the partnership with the Austin Parks Foundation has provided over $79 million to city park systems.
