This year's appearance will mark Musgraves' first time headlining the festival, following her 2019 performance in support of her record-breaking album Golden Hour. Her stop at ACL Fest 2022 marks one of just a handful of festival appearances set for the remainder of the year, following the release of her 2021 genre-bending record Star-Crossed.

After COVID-19 forced the Chicks to cancel most of their promotion planned around the release of their 2020 comeback record Gaslighter, the trio are ready to hit the road. They have a busy schedule planned for the remainder of 2022, which includes multiple headlining dates across the U.S. along with a headlining appearance at Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival.

Austin City Limits Music Festival 2022 will be held at Zilker Park in Austin, Texas, during two consecutive weekends: Oct. 7-9 and Oct. 14-18. Tickets for all dates will go on sale Tuesday (May 10) beginning at 12PM CT. You can find additional information about ticketing options at the festival's official website.
