The K-pop group RIIZE will create history at the Austin City Limits (ACL) Music Festival 2025. They are set to be the first K-pop act ever to perform at this major Texas event. The festival announced its full lineup on May 6, 2025, featuring big names like Sabrina Carpenter, Hozier, Doja Cat, The Strokes, and Luke Combs.
RIIZE will perform during the first weekend of the festival, from October 3 to October 5, 2025. The group is also preparing for their first full-length album, “ODYSSEY,” adding to the excitement. ACL Fest 2025 will take place over two weekends at Zilker Park in Austin, Texas, with the second weekend running from October 10 to October 12.
The festival lineup includes over 100 performances across nine stages. Alongside RIIZE, other notable acts are Feid, Cage the Elephant, T-Pain, Empire of the Sun, and Pierce the Veil. Weekend one features Maren Morris and Phantogram, while weekend two brings Rilo Kiley’s reunion.
Tickets for ACL Fest 2025 went on sale May 6 at noon CT. Options include General Admission (starting at $360), VIP passes ($1,670), and Platinum packages ($5,670). A special “Y’all Access” package is already waitlisted for weekend one. Fans can also enter a giveaway for two free GA tickets to weekend two by following @FestiveOwl on Facebook.
RIIZE’s performance marks a milestone for K-pop at ACL Fest. The group has been gaining global attention with their variety show “BOSS RIIZE” and upcoming album. Their inclusion highlights the growing influence of K-pop in major international music festivals.
The festival will also feature local Texas artists like Dylan Gossett, Geto Gala, and Maren Morris. Food, drinks, and art installations will add to the experience. For those who can’t attend, Hulu will stream performances from the first weekend.
ACL Fest has contributed over $71 million to Austin’s parks since 2006. This year’s economic impact report will be released on May 7, 2025. The event draws 75,000 attendees each weekend, making it one of the biggest music festivals in the U.S.
RIIZE’s fans, known as BRIIZE, are expected to bring high energy to their historic set. The group’s appearance follows the global success of other K-pop acts but marks a first for ACL Fest. Their performance could open doors for more K-pop artists at future editions.
Other festival highlights include Japanese Breakfast, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, and Wet Leg. The Bonus Tracks stage will host interviews, drag shows, and dance parties. ACL Fest continues to blend music, culture, and community in a unique way.
With RIIZE’s debut, ACL Fest 2025 promises to be unforgettable. The group joins a diverse lineup celebrating pop, rock, rap, and country music. Their performance will be a key moment in K-pop’s global expansion.
