Austin City Limits 2024

Are you ready to go above your limits at Austin City Limits 2024? This October, prepare to be part of history at this once-in-a-lifetime experience—two times a year!

An exciting story stands behind the Austin City Limits Music Festival. In 1974, Austin PBS, an American public broadcaster that provides educational programs, produced and recorded Austin City Limits, an American live music television program. Over the years, this show became the longest-running music series in American television history!

Important institutions have given this TV program many significant awards, such as the Peabody Award—an official Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Landmark. It also became the only television program to receive the National Medal of Arts—the nation's highest award for artistic excellence. Truly an extraordinary achievement!

Inspired by the success of the ACL Live TV series recorded at the Moody Theater, the ACL Festival was founded in 2002 as a one-weekend event. However, since 2013, the festival has expanded to span two thrilling weekends at Zilker Park. 

Grab a pen and paper or your phone and mark the dates: Friday to Sunday, October 4-6 & 11-13. The event starts at 10 a.m. and ends at 10 p.m. each day.

The festival has seen popular music legends, such as Metallica, Radiohead, Guns N' Roses, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Depeche Mode, Paul McCartney, The Cure... The list goes on!

Expect seven stages throughout Zilker Park, with iconic musicians and innovators from every genre.
