Austin City Limits Festival Canceled For 2020

The Austin City Limits Festival has been canceled for this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic and rescheduled for 2021. The festival will return to Zilker Park in Austin, Texas on Oct. 1-3 and Oct. 8-10, 2021 to celebrate its 20th Anniversary.

The ACL festival website states: “We would have loved to put on another memorable show this year, however, with the uncertainty surrounding the current situation in Texas, this decision is the only responsible solution. The health and safety of our fans, artists, partners, staff and the entire Austin community remains our highest priority. ”

Fans who have already purchased tickets are encouraged to hold on to them to lock in access to next year’s festival at 2019 prices. Refunds are available for fans who purchased directly through the festival and cannot attend next year’s dates. All current ticket holders will receive an email from Front Gate Tickets shortly with information on both options.
