AUSTIN, Texas – It’s a big day for Austin City Limits as the lineup has been announced and tickets went on sale at noon on Tuesday.
LINEUP:
Among the headliners in 2019 are Guns N' Roses, Mumford & Sons, The Cure, Childish Gambino, Cardi B, and Tame Impala.
Childish Gambino was a headliner in 2018 as well, but cancelled his performance shortly before the festival due to an injury. Other notables include Kacey Musgraves, The Raconteurs, Gary Clark Jr., Lizzo, and Thom Yorke.

While the artists below are set in stone, you never know who might be added. In 2018 two months before the festival, three new artists were added to the lineup.
On Monday, ACL tweeted hidden clues to who some of the big names might be. The festival will take place October 4 through October 6 and the following weekend on October 11 through October 13 in Zilker Park.
WEEKEND 1 vs. WEEKEND 2:
Like every year, there are several notable differences between which artists play which weekend. Per usual, a majority of the headlining bands are playing both weekends. However, this year Cardi B will only play Weekend 1 and Robyn will only play Weekend 2.
Other notable bands that are not playing both weekends include:
- Third Eye Blind (Weekend 2)
- Asleep At The Wheel (Weekend 1)
- The Kooks (Weekend 1)
- Denzel Curry (Weekend 2)
- Oliver Tree (Weekend 1)
- The Aces (Weekend 2)
