The Austin City Limits Music Festival has officially announced its 2025 lineup for October 3-5 and 10-12 at Zilker Park, Austin. Leading the charge are headliners Sabrina Carpenter, Hozier, Doja Cat, Luke Combs, The Strokes, John Summit, and Doechii.
Supporting acts include Passion Pit, T-Pain, Modest Mouse, Zeds Dead, and Phantogram, representing a broad spectrum from indie rock to electronic, country, and pop.
Fan Reaction Snapshot from r/aclfestival:
- Excited: Many are hyped by surprise sets like Passion Pit and The Strokes, calling parts of the lineup “exciting” and “strong.”
- Disappointed: Some feel the absence of legacy bands like Green Day and Clairo leaves a gap. There’s concern over the dominance of solo acts which could fragment the two weekend experiences.
- Skepticism: Longtime festival-goers question how newer pop stars like Sabrina Carpenter will fit the ACL vibe, which has historically leaned more eclectic and sometimes rugged.
What to Expect:
ACL 2025 stays true to its diverse roots with a blend targeting millennial and Gen Z fans. The mix is undeniably wide-ranging but has sparked debate about the festival’s direction and whether it will satisfy those craving classic rock or heavier legacy names.
