Lineup for ACL Fest 2020 three-night broadcast announced
AUSTIN, Texas - The Austin City Limits Music Festival has revealed the lineup and schedule for ACL Fest 2020, the free three-night broadcast event taking place October 9-11 beginning at 7 p.m. (CT) each night exclusively on YouTube.
Organizers say in celebration of the iconic annual two-weekend festival they've put together some memorable past sets captured in Zilker Park and combined it with unique original programming and more.
The event is partnering and raising awareness for the Austin Parks Foundation, All Together ATX, Equal Justice Initiative, and When We All Vote.
Organizers say while people can't gather at Zilker Park this year they hope ACL Fest 2020 "will provide fans a connection to their greatest memories of ACL’s past, where they were and who they were with, and the sensation of experiencing live music outdoors with thousands of people who share a common sense of pride in community and love of music."
