About ACL Fest Nights
Currently, ACL Fest Nights continues to be a highlight of the festival, with events planned at venues including the historic Antone's Nightclub, the 3TEN ACL Live, and the lively Stubb's Bar-B-Q. These concerts typically feature both headliners and up-and-coming artists, giving fans exclusive access to performances in unique settings. As the festival approaches each year, fans eagerly await the announcements of participating artists and venues for ACL Fest Nights. In 2023, the lineup is expected to include a mix of well-known acts and local talents, ensuring a rich variety of shows. Attendees can purchase tickets for these intimate performances, which often sell out quickly due to their limited capacity. Moreover, as part of the festival's commitment to supporting the local music community, proceeds from these events often benefit local charities, further enriching Austin's cultural landscape. With ACL Fest Nights, the festival not only enhances the overall Austin City Limits experience but also reinforces the city’s status as the 'Live Music Capital of the World.'
ACL Fest Nights History
The Austin City Limits Music Festival (ACL Fest) began in 2002, inspired by the long-running PBS television series 'Austin City Limits.' Over the years, the festival has grown into one of the largest music events in the United States, attracting hundreds of thousands of attendees from around the globe. ACL Fest takes place over two weekends in October, showcasing a diverse lineup of artists across multiple genres, reflecting Austin's rich musical heritage. Since its inception, ACL has featured groundbreaking acts, from iconic rock bands to rising indie artists, creating a unique experience filled with discovery. The introduction of ACL Fest Nights in 2013 aimed to enhance the festival experience, transforming the city into a vibrant concert venue with a series of shows featuring festival performers at various locations across Austin. This initiative provided fans a chance to experience intimate performances by their favorite artists, often in smaller, local venues, which helped bolster the local music scene and engage attendees beyond the festival's main site at Zilker Park.
