ACL 2026 Lineup Day by Day

 

Your 2026 Lineup by Day!!
by u/DaveGrohlsShortHair in aclfestival

The one gripe I have with ACL and all C3 promoter concerts is its the same artists for Lolla and Gov ball, so less incentive to travel which is good, less cost, but same artists, 

Here's top see for every day for ACL Friday Saturday Sunday! Kinda only have to see one of their festivals, but similar to insomniac touring the same artists for like a project glow and escape stuff...

You might have to wait for the lineup and septimes to see who to see but honestly check out the up and coming sets, I know this festival is know for being full of just locals rather than music fans but always check out new music if you can!

Friday

1. Skrillex

like must see cuz I don't really see him on any lineup besides the AEG festival in Indio this fall, excited to see him live, necessary for EDM heads, like OG for sure, do not miss

2. Kings of Leon

Has to be great live because there always touring, and love a live band, bands and rock and stuff needs to come back like now?

3. The Chainsmokers

Always put on a great show, yes they play everywhere but like fail safe act and setlist for sure, like if there's a conflict with someone awesome I get it but like needed for sure

4. Leon Thomas

has to sound amazing live with all the times he's performed with his band and great live vocals on award shows and such, and maybe Victorious reunion??? 

5. Brandon Flowers

has to be a Killers set huh? like if you haven't seen then killers this is their dude and great live, everyone of their songs is like known, like you need to see them live, need. 

6. Charli Xcx

like if you didn't see her brat tour catch her! wonder if its gunna go more rock like she has teased with her new music. surprisingly she does have alot of songs she's done through the years!

7. Bunt.

seeing him live in NYC and then he'll be at EDC, like that major, Germany techno was teased at coachella wish I caught the set cuz the vibe looked awesome in clips, need more Germany techno, is it gunna be a techno moment?

8. Rebecca Black

kinda want to see her because of her cover of Fame is a Gun by Addison Rae, like I know its a cover but kinda good? besides that, Friday is the only song, and the crowd might go crazy for her for Crazy....

9. Brigitte Calls Me Baby

checking them out this week and love the song, We Were Never Alive, in my mind , kinda like a Depeche Mode vibe for the vocals but also not a huge music head so could be a million percent wrong, but love a live band, need a live band 

 

10. Natasha Bedingfield

kinda maybe have to see her for the Unwritten vibe, like might be the only song I know of her but the crowd has to be top tier for this song for sure.....

Saturday

1. Rufus Du Sol

Interbloom is necessary if you can see Rufus, and he was great at Lolla last year, great crowd, great vibe, and need to see if you can 

2. Lorde

only know like the two songs but she's always there with Charli so maybe 

3. Lola Young

great live, great singer songwriter, like she seems to be a great personality, and someone to root for, need to see more of her songs for sure live

4. Young Miko

she has to be having a moment, this is a must see set, truly she should be broke elsewhere and other festivals too, I know she was at coachella like two years ago but still, reggaton os having a moment, the Gap Ad was awesome' 

5 Levity

feel like they could be the next John Summit type, great pop sync vibe and great fun fan group too!

6. YOUSUK€ YUK1MAT$U

people always talk about his Boiler room set and might be the same live, but live is about the fans so check them out, see what the vibe is!

7. FInn Wolfhard

Check him out for Stranger Things, don't know how he is live, but kinda awesome when actors are singers and talented elsewhere too!

8. Balu Brigada

opened for Twenty One Pilot and check them out, great live, need more bands and alternative acts live!

9. It's Murph

10. Bleachers

Kinda want to see them because of the Taylor Swift of it all, Jack Antonoff seems to be a household name, wonder if he wants to be more known as a producer or his own live work as a band or singer songwriter

Sunday

1. Twenty One Pilots

great live, the fanbase seems to be on the younger side but kind kids, great live vibe, definitely check out, more mainstream than I thought but also more of the band drum and guitar sounds come out live, like great vibe for sure

2. The Xx

Check them out, throwback and touring with Harry Styles, need to see them live, the coachella livestream was perfect.... 

3. Sofi Tucker

check them out if there's no conflict! feel like they were always playing around but great vibe, kinda poppy had a fun set!

4. Parcels

Check them out! great live, like so good, they look lost in the moment up on stage, seen them both at coachella and in concert, their synthy sound is so cool and refreshing, calming for sure, feel like they could do a sunset set and it'd be perfect,

 feel like they are so surf lodge, like need to play there, such a Montauk Vibe , like jam bandy

5 Blood Orange

need to see more alternative and rock bands on sets, maybe throwback fashion will include punk rock bands and stuff too!

6. Audrey Hobert

Like for Lolla, great live , seems to be separate from Gracie Abrams, in my mind it was a package deal but different vibe for sure, more indie/Brooklyn!

7. Thomas Day

8. The War on Drugs

9. Geese

they're always talked about and were on SNL and will be touring , catch them, need more bands and stuff live, punk rock and stuff in general.

10. Charlotte Lawrence
