Role Model livestream taping graphic

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.

Jon Batiste Livestream Graphic

Austin City Limits—September 29, 2025—Acclaimed television music series Austin City Limits (ACL) is thrilled to present a worldwide livestream event with seven-time GRAMMY® Award- and Academy Award-winning musician Jon Batiste on October 3rd. As a preview to ACL’s Season 51, which premieres the following day, fans everywhere can experience this highly anticipated taping live in its entirety from the iconic Austin City Limits stage in Austin, Texas. The performance streams free and live on the ACLTV YouTube Channel and YouTube.com/jonbatistemusic, beginning promptly at 9pm ET/8pm CT on Friday, October 3rd.

An electrifying live performer, Batiste brings his newly launched BIG MONEY Tour to ACL for the first-ever livestream of his latest album and tour. The full-hour broadcast episode of this performance will air on PBS and stream on pbs.org/austincitylimits on November 22, 2025, as a highlight of the television series’ upcoming Season 51, which kicks off on October 4 with a season premiere episode featuring Grammy-winning artist and producer FINNEAS making his solo headlining debut.

Jon Batiste first appeared on ACL in 2021 during Season 47, delivering an ecstatic, fan-favorite set. The American original now returns as a seven-time Grammy winner, performing highlights from his acclaimed ninth studio album, BIG MONEY (Verve/Interscope). A genre-defying collection featuring collaborations with No I.D., Randy Newman, Andra Day and more, the rootsy album deepens the New Orleans native’s exploration of the American musical canon. Expansive yet deeply personal, BIG MONEY weaves together soul, hip-hop, jazz, blues and pop, continuing Batiste’s mission of blending innovation with emotional resonance. 

“We have such a profoundly rich cultural inheritance in America that many of us don’t know of, don’t fully embrace, don’t fully understand,” the artist recently told Rolling Stone. “Artists have to keep making statements that point back to that and counter things that are trying to dilute that or erase it.” 

Batiste comes to the ACL stage directly from his current BIG MONEY Tour, with more than 30 dates across the U.S. this fall. On Wednesday, October 1, Batiste will bring his BIG MONEY Tour to Nashville’s historic Grand Ole Opry.  Midway through its 30-date run, the tour features Golden Globe® Award-winning singer, songwriter, actress, and activist Andra Day on select dates, with singer-songwriter and actress Diana Silvers supporting throughout.  View full dates and ticket information at jonbatiste.com. Listen to BIG MONEY HERE. Exclusive signed CDs and hot pink vinyl are available at jonbatistestore.com. 

BIG MONEY caps a landmark year for Batiste, which included his Super Bowl performance, two GRAMMY® wins for his acclaimed Netflix documentary American Symphony, and the chart-topping success of Beethoven Blues, which spent nine weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Classical Albums chart.

Livestream Wyatt Flores’ ACL TV Taping 9/19 @ 8 PM CT

Wyatt Flores livestream graphic

Red Dirt singer and songwriter Wyatt Flores makes his Austin City Limits (ACL) debut on Friday, September 19, and the legendary music series is proud to announce this performance will be livestreamed on the ACLTV YouTube Channel. ACL offers fans worldwide the unique opportunity to watch the breakout artist’s taping live in its entirety from the famed Austin City Limits stage in Austin, Texas, on September 19 at 8pm CT/9pm ET free via the ACLTV YouTube Channel. ACL is thrilled to showcase the ascendant singer-songwriter performing highlights from his breakout album, Welcome to the Plains. An electric live performer, Flores comes to the ACL stage from a run of tour dates supporting Post Malone in addition to his own headlining tour. The livestream will begin promptly at 8pm CT and will only be available live. The broadcast episode will air on PBS and stream on pbs.org/austincitylimits as part of the television series’ upcoming Season 51, which premieres October 4, 2025, with a season opener featuring ten-time Grammy-winning artist and producer FINNEAS making his solo headlining debut.

Wyatt Flores’ debut album, Welcome to the Plains, takes listeners to the corner of the world that this 24-year-old country songwriter knows best—Oklahoma. A 14-song trek through tales of fiery love, small-town truths and lighthearted mortality, the album captures the grounded, sincere storytelling forged by Flores partly during his formative years in his hometown of Stillwater. “Welcome To The Plains is all about my fight to come home,” says the Mexican American artist. The project details Flores’ journey as he balances the struggle of leaving a small town versus the highs and lows of life on the road. 

Produced by Beau Bedford (Orville Peck, Shane Smith & The Saints), the album opens with the scene-setting title track, co-written by Old Crow Medicine Show bandleader Ketch Secor. Flores sketches a new take on home in the foot-stomping country-folk title tune. The album has received widespread critical acclaim and earned Flores an Emerging Act of the Year nomination at the 2024 Americana Honors & Awards. 

At age 12, Flores’ sister passed him a copy of Turnpike Troubadours’ red dirt masterpiece, Diamonds & Gasoline, unlocking a love for roots music that later led to artists such as Jason Isbell, 49 Winchester and Sturgill Simpson. Flores established himself as one of country music’s most vital voices with a trio of EPs, his 2022 debut The Hutson Sessions, featuring the fan-favorite single “Please Don’t Go”; 2023’s Life Lessons and 2024’s Half Life, building a steadfast following of listeners who often heard echoes of their own lives in his honest songs. Gigs in tiny Oklahoma bars turned into packed club shows and, eventually, a contract with Island Records.

Finneas live stream graphic

Austin City Limits is thrilled to announce the highly-anticipated taping featuring FINNEAS on August 7 will be livestreamed worldwide via the ACLTV YouTube Channel. The gifted artist first appeared on the ACL stage in Season 45 in 2019 alongside his sister Billie Eilish and we’re thrilled to welcome FINNEAS back for his solo debut amid a sold-out world tour, showcasing songs from his sophomore solo album For Cryin’ Out Loud! 

ACL offers fans worldwide the unique opportunity to watch his taping live in its entirety from the famed Austin City Limits stage in Austin, Texas, on Thursday, August 7 at 8pm CT/9pm ET free via the ACLTV YouTube Channel.  The livestream will begin promptly at 8pm CT and will only be available live. The broadcast episode will air this fall on PBS and stream on pbs.org/austincitylimits as a highlight of the television series’s upcoming Season 51. 

Celebrated singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer FINNEAS has quietly emerged as a ubiquitous presence in popular music and culture. He achieved stratospheric success for his groundbreaking work with his sister Billie Eilish, including a history-making ten Grammy Awards for his work with her. His impact has also reverberated through film and television, whether it be writing Academy Award-winning songs for blockbuster films Barbie and No Time To Die or composing original scores for Academy Award winner Alfonso Cuarón’s Apple TV+ series Disclaimer and HBO Max’s The Fallout, Vengeance, and more. 

FINNEAS introduced a heartfelt and hypnotic style for his 2019 debut solo outing, Blood Harmony, an EP highlighted by the gold-certified “Let’s Fall in Love for the Night.” 2021 saw him unveil his full-length debut, The Optimist, on Interscope Records. A restless creative, FINNEAS is always challenging himself. It’s why he opted to gather a handful of friends, head to the studio as “a band,” and make his second full-length solo album, For Cryin’ Out Loud!  He set the stage for the record with the title track which Rolling Stone hailed “…the work of a popcraft savant with a light, versatile touch.”

Live Stream MJ Lenderman & the Wind’s ACL Taping on 7/1 @ 8pm CT

MJ Lenderman & the Wind make their Austin City Limits debut on Tuesday, July 1, and the legendary music series is proud to announce this highly-anticipated performance will be livestreamed on the ACLTV YouTube Channel. ACL offers fans worldwide the unique opportunity to watch MJ Lenderman & the Wind’s taping live in its entirety from the famed Austin City Limits stage in Austin, Texas, on July 1 at 8pm CT/9pm ET free via the ACLTV YouTube Channel. ACL is thrilled to showcase the ascendant singer-songwriter and his five-piece band ahead of the 4th of July, lighting up the ACL stage with highlights from his acclaimed Manning Fireworks. Lenderman recently received a trio of 2025 nominations for the album from the Americana Music Awards, leading the pack with top honor nods for Album of the Year, Song of the Year and Emerging Artist of the Year.  The livestream will begin promptly at 8pm CT and will only be available live. The broadcast episode will air this fall on PBS and stream on pbs.org/austincitylimits as part of the iconic television series’ upcoming Season 51. 

26-year-old singer-songwriter-guitarist MJ Lenderman makes his ACL debut after a busy couple of years. A rock-and-roll and basketball obsessed kid growing up in the mountain town of Asheville, NC, he put out the breakthrough solo set Boat Songs in 2022; the sleeper hit piled offhanded, Southern-inflected rock on wry, laconic bangers like “Hangover Game,” “Six Flags” and “Tastes Just Like It Costs.” With its barbed little jokes, canny sports references, and gloriously ragged guitar solos, the album became one of that year’s standouts, a ramshackle set of charms and chuckles. He followed with a stellar 2024, bookended by a memorable feature on Waxahatchee’s “Right Back To It,” a magnetic duet about romantic doubt that became one of the year’s biggest indie-rock anthems, and the release of his own highly anticipated solo album, Manning Fireworks. A laser-sharp study of misfits and the mistakes they make, where sympathy and sardonicism share the same ragged rock song, the acclaimed release features thumbnail character studies: “She’s Leaving You,” a half-sneering portrait of a dad cheating his way through a midlife crisis, at least until he gets caught and blasts Clapton in a rented Ferrari en route to Vegas; “On My Knees” finds Lenderman wondering what it means to have fun in a world where so many people seem full of shit; and muses on edgelords and alpha males on the standout “Wristwatch.” Manning Fireworks topped many critics’ year-end best lists, with Rolling Stone raving, “MJ Lenderman delivers a sad-guy indie-rock gem” and named him “a budding guitar great and ace storyteller”; The New York Times calls Lenderman “A young artist with an old soul and a keen eye for observational detail that makes his canted portraits of small-town life come alive”; NPR raves, “He’s a homespun magical realist, always throwing in something off-kilter to elevate his tales of lovable losers”; and the Guardian concurs, “Far from being dude-centric, Manning Fireworks’ sad sack anthems tap into something devastatingly, purely human.”

Live Stream Waxahatchee’s ACL Taping on 5/19 @ 8pm CT

Austin City Limits to Live Stream Waxahatchee’s ACL Debut

Breakout artist Waxahatchee makes her Austin City Limits debut on Monday, May 19 and the legendary music series is thrilled to announce this highly-anticipated performance will be livestreamed on the ACLTV YouTube Channel. ACL offers fans worldwide the unique opportunity to watch Waxahatchee’s taping live from the famed ACL stage in its entirety on May 19 at 8pm CT/9pm ET free via the ACLTV YouTube Channel.  The livestream will begin promptly at 8pm CT and will only be available live. The broadcast episode will air this fall on PBS and stream on pbs.org/austincitylimits as part of the television series’s upcoming Season 51.

ACL is proud to welcome Katie Crutchfield, the indie musician who performs as Waxahatchee (the name of a creek she grew up near in Alabama). She’s been releasing albums as Waxahatchee since 2012 and recently scored a career high with Tigers Blood, which earned a 2025 Grammy nomination for Best Americana Album. Recorded at Sonic Ranch in the Texas bordertown of Tornillo with producer Brad Cook, the Kansas City-based Crutchfield wrote most of the songs on the album during a self-described “hot hand spell” while on tour in 2022. Tigers Blood features her most potent songwriting to date and includes the breakout single “Right Back To It,” a lo-fi gem that features southern indie-rock ace MJ Lenderman on harmony vocals and guitar, nominated for Song of the Year at the 2024 Americana Music Awards. Album highlights include the spellbinding opener “3 Sisters”; “365,” a powerful meditation on co-dependency and addiction; and “Bored,” a blazing number on diverging friendships in your 30s. Tigers Blood is Waxahatchee’s first release in four years since 2020’s acclaimed Saint Cloud, a pandemic era standout and turning point that found Crutchfield steering away from indie rock and leaning into Americana and roots music, a sound with deep ties to her southern upbringing. The road-tested artist is touring throughout 2025, including a recent Luck Ranch show with one of her primary influences, Lucinda Williams. Waxahatchee will join Willie Nelson this fall on his Outlaw Music Festival.
