Another all-star lineup of musicians is heading down south for Austin City Limits 2025.
Following show-stopping performances from Dua Lipa, Blink-182, Chappell Roan, Tyler, the Creator and more in 2024, a new crop of artists is taking over Zilker Park in Austin, Texas, for two consecutive weekends. The festival begins October 3, closing its first round of shows on October 5. Weekend 2 runs from October 10 to October 12.
Fans have already seen a shakeup to this year’s scheduled performances. Less than two months before the festival, Doja Cat pulled out as a headlining act.
“Unfortunately, I will not be performing at Austin City Limits this year,” she wrote via her Instagram Story on August 29. “When I made the commitment I didn’t know exactly when Vie would be released. I’ve been working on finalizing the album, making videos, taking the time to put together an album campaign that I’m really excited about, and it’s become clear to me that I cannot give you guys the show you deserve within this time frame.”

She continued: “Thank you to the ACL team for their support and I hope to see you all again soon when the time is right. I’m forever grateful for the opportunity.”
It didn’t take long for Doja Cat’s replacement to be revealed. “Please welcome @thekillers to the stage 😎,” read an August 29 announcement on ACL’s social media. “Your new headliners will perform both Sundays of ACL Fest!”
