Role Model’s No Place Like Tour touches down in Austin and Austin City Limits (ACL) is thrilled to present a worldwide livestream of the in-demand musician’s full-set ACL debut on Tuesday, October 7. Riding high with his career-defining album Kansas Anymore and his first-ever Billboard No. 1 single, Role Model arrives on the ACL stage amid one of the year’s hottest tours, a featured slot on our namesake ACL Festival, and just days before his Saturday Night Live debut on October 11.
Fans everywhere can experience this highly anticipated taping live in its entirety from the iconic Austin City Limits stage in Austin, Texas. The taping performance streams free and live at YouTube.com/AustinCityLimitsTV, starting promptly at 9pm ET/8pm CT on Tuesday, October 7. The stream will only be available to watch in real time. The broadcast episode of this performance will air on PBS and stream nationwide on pbs.org/austincitylimits on December 13, 2025, as part of the television series’ upcoming Season 51, which launches October 4 with a season premiere featuring Grammy-winning artist and producer FINNEAS.
Role Model—aka Tucker Pillsbury—first made waves with his 2022 debut album Rx, a confessional, genre-blurring pop record. His sophomore release Kansas Anymore expands his sound with 13 folk-tinged, lyrically driven tracks, including the viral hit “Sally, When the Wine Runs Out.” Praised by GQ for its “big-swing pop music” and Paper for its “folk-tinged, heart-heavy” sound, the album cemented his rise as one of music’s most exciting voices. Following his sold-out No Place Like Tour, which sold over 90,000 tickets worldwide, the Maine native released a deluxe edition, Kansas Anymore (The Longest Goodbye), featuring four new songs that expand the emotional and sonic scope of the original album. Expanding his creative reach, he is also set to make his acting debut opposite Natalie Portman and Mark Ruffalo in Lena Dunham’s upcoming Netflix film Good Sex.
