This year’s headliners touch every genre, with Sabrina Carpenter, Hozier, Doja Cat, Luke Combs, The Strokes, John Summit and Doechii all set to perform on both weekends.

Carpenter and Doechii appear on the lineup seemingly in their prime, with Hozier in his resurgence.

Notably, Combs’ headlining spot comes eight years after he made his ACL debut on the festival’s BMI stage in 2017, where a new crop of rising stars will perform this year, including ROLE MODEL and Olivia Dean.

The Strokes will be playing their first show since last March, where they hosted a fundraiser in Chicago for Congressional candidate Kina Collins.

Summit is filling this year’s token electronic headliner that remains relatively anonymous outside of their fans, succeeding acts in previous years like Pretty Lights and Flume.

The lineup also features Djo, Pierce The Veil and Cage The Elephant.

Highlights from the undercard include Australian soul crooner Don West, British pop-rock quartet South Arcade (who will be at Trees this month) and Magdalena Bay (who will be arriving on weekend one straight from a date at House of Blues).

Three-day general admission tickets start at $360 and went on sale today.

The Strokes are set to play their first show in over a year at ACL.
