More than 130 bands across eight stages will perform on the weekends of 9/30-10/2 and 10/7-9 at Zilker Park.

The eclectic lineup also features Chris Stapleton (first weekend only), Kacey Musgraves (ditto), The Chainsmokers, Flume, M83, HAIM, LL Cool J, Anderson .Paak & the Free Nationals (Weekend Two), Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats, Margo Price, Gallant, Bob Moses, The Strumbellas,

Three-day general admission tickets ($255) for both weekends can be purchased at www.aclfestival.com, as can three-day VIP and platinum tickets and hotel packages. Single-day general admission tickets will be available later in the year as well as one-day VIP tickets, a first for ACL.
