The 2021 Austin City Limits (ACL) Music Festival, located in Zilker Park, Austin, Texas, is still set to happen from October 1st through the 3rd and the 8th through 10th. The ACL team has certainly had their challenges with this year’s line-up but major headliners George Strait, Billie Eilish, Miley Cyrus, Megan Thee Stallion, Machine Gun Kelly, and Rüfüs Du Sol are still scheduled to perform.
Several weeks ago, DaBaby was removed as a headliner due to homophobic remarks he made at a recent music festival and was replaced by Tyler, The Creator. Stevie Nicks also announced she would no longer be performing at the festival due to health and safety concerns, and Duran Duran was announced as her replacement.
