ACL Fest to include Charli XCX, Rüfüs Du Sol and Lorde

• Tickets for both weekends — Oct. 2-4 and Oct. 9-11 — will go on sale at noon CT Tuesday. Three-day tickets start at $365.
• The festival, which started as a two-day event featuring many local bands and dominated by indie rock and Americana, is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year.

Zoom in: Also among the headliners are Twenty One Pilots and The xx.

• DJ and producer Skrillex will perform weekend one, and Kings of Leon will perform weekend two.

Other notable acts include:

• Baltimore hardcore punk breakout Turnstile
• Genre-bending British producer and singer Labrinth
• Grammy award-winner Lola Young
• Chart-topping EDM-pop duo The Chainsmokers
• Brooklyn indie rock band Geese
• Puerto Rican Latin trap star Young Miko
• Jack Antonoff's New Jersey rock band Bleachers
• Dance-pop duo Sofi Tukker
• Australian electro-pop band Parcels
• Philadelphia rock band The War on Drugs
• R&B singer-songwriter and producer Leon Thomas

• The Killers frontman turned solo act Brandon Flowers (weekend one)

The intrigue: A notable share of this year's lineup aren't new to Zilker Park.

• Several headliners — including Kings of Leon, Skrillex and Lorde — are returning to ACL after previous appearances.

Between the lines: Some fans had speculated that Olivia Rodrigo — one of the few Gen Z artists with true stadium-level pop draw — could land atop this year's bill.

• Instead, the lineup leans toward alt-pop and genre-spanning headliners like Lorde and Charli XCX, without a single blockbuster pop star.
