A fresh map for Austin City Limits Festival 2025 surfaced online — originally shared on Reddit and linked from the festival’s help site.
Notable changes and highlights
- T‑Mobile area moved: The T‑Mobile Club Magenta appears relocated away from the T‑Mobile stage and toward the Rocks area.
- Brand swaps: Several familiar sponsor spaces look identical to last year but carry new brand names on the map.
- DashPass lounge where the Tiki was: The old Tiki area looks replaced by a DashPass/DashPass lounge — unclear on layout or capacity.
- New activations: A “Snap Tower” (likely Snapchat), and a curious “Tito’s Chillmaster5000” appear in different spots than prior Tito’s footprint.
- Beatbox and a “house”: The Beatbox area shows a small house structure beside the stage — worth checking in-person.
- Aperol Spritz plaza: The wine/frosé zone seems rebranded as an Aperol Spritz plaza; festival market listings may still carry frose options.
What fans are pointing out
- Some users noticed the map is largely the same as last year aside from sponsor name swaps.
- Merch and vendor placement shifts — merch near the Rocks moved closer to Kiddie Limits on this version.
- Questions about VIP viewing improvements and whether the West/East VIP setups have changed.
Unknowns and things to watch
- What exactly the Snap Tower activation will include.
- Details on Tito’s Chillmaster5000 — is it a branded cooler bar, lounge, or something else?
- Whether the Aperol zone replaces all wine/frosé offerings or if those moved elsewhere (ACL Market is possible).
- How the T‑Mobile stage presence will be handled now that the branded club is relocated.
Bottom line: The 2025 map shows mostly familiar layout with a few sponsor-area shuffles and some new-sounding activations. Expect small-location tweaks to matter on the ground; we’ll watch for official updates from ACL and first-hand reports when the festival opens.
