Austin City Limits Music Festival Weekend 1 -- October 2-4, 2026
The ACL Fest 2026 Weekend 1 3-day pass covers all three days of the first weekend at Zilker Park in Austin, Texas. One wristband gets you in for all three days across all 8 stages -- the most efficient and best-value way to experience the full Weekend 1 lineup. With six distinct headliners across three days and over 130 artists total, Weekend 1 is one of the strongest festival lineups of 2026.
Skrillex and Brandon Flowers are Weekend 1 exclusives -- they do not perform at Weekend 2. If either is a priority, the Weekend 1 3-day pass is the best way to guarantee you see them alongside the full three-day lineup.
Prefer to attend only part of the weekend? Single-day tickets are available for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday separately.

3-Day Pass vs Single-Day -- Which Is Right for You?
The Weekend 1 3-day pass is the right choice if any of the following applies.
You have must-sees across multiple days
Skrillex on Friday, Lorde on Saturday, Twenty One Pilots on Sunday -- if you want artists from more than one day, the 3-day pass covers everything with a single wristband and is better value than two or three single-day tickets.
You want the full ACL experience
Three days at Zilker Park is a genuinely different experience from one day. You learn the layout, discover artists you did not plan on seeing, and experience the full arc of the weekend from opening day to the closing headliner.
Skrillex is a priority
Skrillex performs Weekend 1 only. If seeing Skrillex matters and you also want Lorde on Saturday or Twenty One Pilots on Sunday, the 3-day pass is the only ticket that covers all three.
Best value per artist
Three single-day tickets purchased separately will typically cost more than a 3-day pass. If you are planning to attend at least two days, the pass is almost always better value.
Weekend 1 3-Day Pass Ticket Tiers
Weekend 1 3-day passes are available at four tiers. One wristband covers all three days at the tier you select.
3-Day GA
Full access to all 8 stages, food vendors, and festival grounds across all three days. The standard ACL experience -- everything the festival has to offer for the full weekend.
3-Day GA+
Everything in GA plus private lounges, shaded areas, and upgraded restrooms. Particularly worthwhile for a 3-day pass -- the lounge becomes your base across the full weekend.
3-Day VIP
Everything in GA+ plus premium stage viewing areas, dedicated bars, complimentary drinks, and an air-conditioned lounge. The best way to experience all three headliner nights at their best positions.
Platinum
Everything in VIP plus front-of-stage Platinum zones and exclusive Platinum lounge across all three days. The definitive Weekend 1 experience -- three nights of front-of-stage headliner access.
Single-Day Weekend 1 Tickets

ACL Weekend 1 3-Day Pass FAQ
What does a Weekend 1 3-day pass include?
A Weekend 1 3-day pass gives full access to Austin City Limits Festival across all three days -- Friday October 2, Saturday October 3, and Sunday October 4. One wristband covers the entire weekend at all 8 stages with no additional entry required each day.
Who headlines each day of ACL Weekend 1?
Friday October 2: Charli XCX and Skrillex (Weekend 1 exclusive). Saturday October 3: Lorde, Rüfüs Du Sol, Lola Young, and Young Miko. Sunday October 4: Twenty One Pilots, The xx, Geese, and SOFI TUKKER.
Is Skrillex performing both weekends?
No. Skrillex performs Weekend 1 Friday only. He does not appear on the Weekend 2 lineup. A Weekend 1 3-day pass or a Weekend 1 Friday single-day ticket are the only ACL 2026 tickets that include his set.
What is the difference between Weekend 1 and Weekend 2?
The Saturday and Sunday lineups are nearly identical across both weekends. The key differences are on Friday -- Skrillex and Brandon Flowers headline Weekend 1 Friday while Kings of Leon and Natasha Bedingfield headline Weekend 2 Friday. Weekend 2 Sunday also adds Houndmouth to the bill.
Is a 3-day pass better value than single-day tickets?
Yes in almost all cases. Three single-day tickets purchased separately will typically cost more in total than a 3-day pass on the resale market. If you plan to attend at least two days, the 3-day pass is generally the better purchase.
What time does ACL Festival open each day?
ACL Festival gates typically open around 11:00 AM each day with performances beginning shortly after. Friday entry is the smoothest. Saturday is the busiest -- arrive early. Sunday is more relaxed with the lightest crowd of the three days.
What is the ACL bag policy?
Small bags 6" x 9" or smaller do not need to be clear -- one pocket max. Larger bags must be clear and no bigger than 12" x 6" x 12". Hydration packs are permitted with up to two additional pockets. All bags are searched at entry gates each day.
How does my 3-day wristband work?
Your Weekend 1 3-day pass arrives as a physical wristband. Once tightened it cannot be loosened or removed without damaging it -- do not put it on until you are heading to the Zilker Park entry gates on Friday morning. Your wristband covers all three days of Weekend 1.
How do I get to Zilker Park for ACL?
The free ACL shuttle from Republic Square Park downtown is the recommended option -- it runs all day including after the final headliner each night. Biking the Hike-and-Bike Trail is fast from South Congress and nearby neighborhoods. There is no parking at Zilker -- driving is not recommended.
Are my ACL Weekend 1 tickets guaranteed?
Yes. Every order on SOLDOUT.COM is backed by our 100% Fan Guarantee. Your wristband will be authentic, valid for entry at Zilker Park across all three days of Weekend 1, and delivered in time for the festival.
