Austin City Limits, one of the most seminal music festivals in the United States has announced its lineup for 2016. With one of the deepest rosters in the music festival circuit, ACL provides something for everyone in 2016. Headliners include Radiohead, Kendrick Lamar and Mumford & Sons, though from top to bottom this is a stellar group of artists. All told, the festival boasts 130 artists performing across eight different stages

This is the 15th anniversary of the music festival, which unsurprisingly, takes place in the Texas capital of Austin. The festival will be held over two separate weekends, first from September 30 to October 2 and again the next week from October 7-9. The festival will be held at Zilker Park, a sprawling green space just across the Colorado River from downtown Austin.

While the headliners and many of the other artists will be present for both weekends, others will only be appearing on a single weekend. Radiohead, Kendrick Lamar, Mumford & Sons, Kygo, LCD Soundsystem, Major Lazer, The Chainsmokers, Flume, M83, Haim, Cage the Elephant and Schoolboy Q will be on for both weekends. Willy Nelson will only perform on weekend two and Chris Stapleton will be at weekend one only.
