Austin City Limits Festival 2025: Sabrina Carpenter, Hozier, Doja Cat, and More Set for Zilker Park

By: A BOOK OF TEAM

Austin’s biggest music tradition is back and bigger than ever. The Austin City Limits Music Festival (ACL Fest) returns to Zilker Park for its 24th year, taking over two weekends — October 3–5 and October 10–12, 2025 — with a lineup stacked with global icons, hometown favorites, and rising stars.

This year’s headliners include Sabrina Carpenter, who continues her explosive pop takeover; Hozier, bringing his soul-stirring anthems; Doja Cat, a master of show-stopping performances; Luke Combs, the country powerhouse; and Doechii, one of hip-hop’s most exciting voices. Joining them are legends like The Strokes and EDM favorite John Summit, adding even more range to an already massive lineup.

ACL Fest has always been about more than just the big names, and 2025 is no exception. Fans can expect everything from high-energy sets by Cage the Elephant and Empire of the Sun to vibey moments with Japanese Breakfast, Djo, and Car Seat Headrest. Local Austin talent also shines this year with acts like Geto Gala, The Point, and Huston-Tillotson Jazz Collective, ensuring the city’s homegrown sound is front and center.

The festival runs across eight stages with nonstop performances from afternoon into the night, all set against the iconic Austin skyline. With food from Austin’s best eateries, art installations, and a family-friendly atmosphere, ACL Fest is more than a concert — it’s an experience.
