Now in its 21st year, the BMI Stage returns to Zilker Park for the 2024 Austin City Limits Music Festival, held Oct. 4–6 and Oct. 11–13. BMI has curated a musically diverse lineup at ACL Fest for the past two decades and “remains an oasis to future stars,” (Austin Chronicle). This year’s lineup will showcase 22 must-see BMI affiliates throughout two consecutive weekends including Amira Elfeky, Braxton Keith, Bre Kennedy, Dexter & The Moonrocks, Deyaz, Emei, Emily Nenni, Hudson Ingram, Jon Muq, JORDY, Marley Bleu, Mon Rovîa, Obed Padilla, Rett Madison, Sawyer Hill, Tanner Adell, Telescreens, The Droptines, Tyler Halverson, Vanilla is Black, Vlad Holiday and WhooKilledKenny.

“Every year we look forward to the return of the BMI Stage at ACL Fest and having the opportunity to collaborate with our longstanding partners at C3 to promote the next generation of BMI talent,” says Mason Hunter AVP, Creative Nashville. “For over 20 years, the BMI stage has been a cornerstone of the festival, kickstarting multi-genre careers and consistently spotlighting a new wave of emerging talent. This year’s lineup continues to carry on that tradition.”
The annual BMI Stage has become a focal point during ACL Fest, after launching some of music’s biggest stars such as Ryan Bingham (’08), Alessia Cara (‘15), Gary Clark, Jr. (‘11), City and Colour (‘08), Luke Combs (‘17), Shakey Graves (‘13), Ruston Kelly (’18), Khruangbin (‘16), Marcus King (’15), Johnnyswim (’14), Miranda Lambert (‘03), Melanie Martinez (’14), Maren Morris (‘16), Jon Pardi (‘11, ‘14) and Billy Strings (’19). With an opportunity to witness tomorrow’s headliners today, BMI is set to bring another year of genre-blurring styles and sounds to Texas.
