The Struggle and FOMO start here!
The 25th Anniversary Edition of Austin City Limits Music Festival just made things a lot more complicated. The daily schedule is officially out, and if you’re heading to Zilker Park for either weekend, it’s time to start making some very difficult decisions.
ACL Festival 2026 takes over Austin on October 2–4 and October 9–11, bringing six days of music across multiple stages. And while having the daily schedule finally makes planning easier, the overlapping sets are already giving us some serious FOMO.
Because let’s be honest, the hardest part of any festival isn’t figuring out who you want to see. It’s figuring out who you’re willing to miss.
Who do you choose when two of your favorites are playing at the same time? Do you stay for the full set, catch the beginning of one and run to another, or just accept that you’re going to miss something?
There has also been one schedule update: Sienna Spiro will now perform Friday, October 9, while Łaszewo moves to Saturday, October 10.
And yes, it’s officially time to start building those schedules.
The official ACL Festival app is available to help you create your custom schedule, connect with other festivalgoers, stay updated, and keep track of everything happening across the six days. Here: ACL FEST 2026
