“Austin City Limits 2021 is a result of successful vaccine efforts and more than a year’s worth of protection measures,” said Austin-Travis County Interim Health Authority Dr. Mark Escott. “Taking the shot is our shot at getting things back to normal and we envision this happening before October if we stay the course as a community. Thank you to all those who have done their part and took the vaccine and to ACL who will utilize their broad voice to encourage vaccination in the months leading to their monumental event.”
Zilker Park has been the home of the Austin City Limits Music Festival for two decades. Since 2006, ACL Festival, in partnership with Austin Parks Foundation, has generated more than $41 million towards improvements to Zilker Park and parks across the city. In 2019, through a percentage of ticket sales, fans of ACL Fest contributed $6 million to improving Austin’s public parks, trails and green spaces. Though 2020 brought many challenges, Austin Parks Foundation was able to utilize ACL Fest funds to help complete 13 park improvement projects including Georgian Acres Park, Colony Park District Park, Alliance Children’s Garden and Comal Pocket Park.

Austin City Limits music festival weekend 1 tickets on sale tomorrow
As the Austin City Limits music festival prepares for an enormous comeback after a 2020 COVID-19 cancellation, ticket sales for the October 1-3 first weekend will begin Thursday, May 20.
Austin City Limits tickets include three-day admission to the concerts in Austin’s Zilker Park. The lineup for this year has yet to be announced, but interest will likely be high, nevertheless, because the state — and therefore the nation — reopen because of dropping infection rates and increased vaccinations.
In-person events for this year’s festival — along side several others in Austin and nationwide — were cancelled thanks to the continued COVID-19 pandemic. Austin City Limits first made the announcement to cancel its traditional events in July, saying:
“We would have loved to put on another memorable show this year, however, with the uncertainty surrounding the current situation in Texas, this decision is the only responsible solution.”
The festival’s cancellation, consistent with a 2019 study, presented a blow to Austin’s economy, because the event brought almost $1.5 billion to the world that year. The cancellation also came months after Austin’s other iconic music festival, South By Southwest, made the choice to cancel for the primary time in its 34-year history.
While ACL held its entirely online 2020 festival via a YouTube lineup of past performances, this year’s events will showcase a return to make .
The 2021 events will coincide with the 20th anniversary of the festival.
