The Austin City Limits (ACL) Music Festival 2025 is set to light up Zilker Park this fall with a powerhouse lineup, led by pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter, rap star Doja Cat, and country music heavyweight Luke Combs. Running across two weekends—October 3 to October 5, and October 10 to October 12—the music festival will transform Austin into a global hotspot.

Carpenter, who caused a splash in Austin last year with her Short n’ Sweet tour, will be making her ACL Fest debut as a headliner. Meanwhile, Doja Cat will be returning after her 2021 show and is expected to deliver a dynamic rap-pop mix. Meanwhile, Luke Combs is expected to provide something for every musical preference.

However, that is not all! These stars will be joined at the top of the bill by Hozier, The Strokes, John Summit, and the rising rapper Doechii, who will be playing on both weekends. The Strokes’ comeback is a highly-anticipated one.
