Austin City Limits 2025 is just around the corner, and Weekend One is already shaping up to be a can’t-miss celebration of music, food, and Austin’s unbeatable fall energy. From October 3 to 5, Zilker Park will come alive with crowds, headliners, and that electric festival vibe — and if you haven’t locked in your lodging yet, now’s the time.
In fact, we’ve got just the place.
Let’s talk about why Lamar Treehouse is the ideal spot for your ACL Weekend One stay — and why you should book it before it’s gone.
Why ACL Weekend One Is the One to Book
ACL Weekend One kicks off the season with all the buzz:
-
Artists are fresh, fans are hyped, and the energy is high
-
Austin’s weather is typically ideal — sunny days, cooler nights
-
It’s easier to snag resale tickets and official wristbands than later in the month
And with The Killers, Sabrina Carpenter, Hozier, Luke Combs, and The Strokes headlining, Weekend One might just steal the whole festival.
Not sure who’s playing when? Here’s a taste of the 2025 lineup:
Headliners:
-
Friday: Hozier, Luke Combs, John Summit
-
Saturday: Sabrina Carpenter, The Strokes, T-Pain
-
Sunday: The Killers, Empire of the Sun, Maren Morris
Plus dozens of supporting acts across indie, hip hop, Latin, country, and more — check the full ACL Fest lineup for updated stage schedules and times.
Where to Stay: Lamar Treehouse
If you’re coming to ACL but want a peaceful place to decompress after dancing all day — Lamar Treehouse is your dream setup.
Nestled in the treetops of South Austin, this private one-bedroom stay is just minutes from Zilker Park, yet miles away from the noise and chaos of downtown hotels.
Why it’s perfect for ACL Weekend One
-
Walkable to ACL shuttle routes and local eats
-
Private treetop deck for pre-game coffee or post-show wind down
-
Stylish, peaceful, and designed for rest
-
No lobby noise, no shared walls — just you and the trees
Whether you’re here solo, traveling as a couple, or just looking for something more local than a chain hotel, Lamar Treehouse lets you experience ACL and Austin like a local.
ACL Travel Tips for a Better Weekend
-
Arrive on Thursday if you can. You’ll beat the Friday crowds and get a feel for the city.
-
Use bikes or rideshares. Parking near Zilker is limited — don’t waste time in traffic.
-
Pack light and hydrate. Austin heat can sneak up on you, even in October.
-
Don’t overbook your weekend. Leave time to nap, explore South Lamar, or catch a local brunch.
-
Book your stay now. Especially if you want to be close but not crammed into a noisy hotel.
Last-Minute Doesn’t Mean Settling
We get it — life gets busy and sometimes you’re booking ACL late in the game. But that doesn’t mean you have to settle for a loud Airbnb with bunk beds or a pricey high-rise downtown.
Lamar Treehouse is still available for select nights during ACL Weekend One — but it won’t be for long.
If you want to do ACL right, now is your moment.
