Venue Details
Austin City Limits Live, home to ACL Live and 3TEN ACL Live, is a vibrant centerpiece of downtown Austin’s music scene, all gathered at 310 W Willie Nelson Blvd. Built on the legacy of the iconic Austin City Limits television show, the venue fuses modern production with the city’s famously laid-back, music-obsessed spirit.
- ACL Live at The Moody Theater is the larger performance hall, known for hosting a wide spectrum of artists, from global touring acts and legendary performers to special events, galas, and festival showcases.
- 3TEN ACL Live is the more intimate sibling space, a 350-person club designed for up-close performances where fans feel like part of the show rather than spectators in the back row.
- Both spaces are equipped with state-of-the-art sound and lighting, reflecting their roots as professional broadcast and recording stages as well as live concert rooms.
- The venue regularly spotlights a mix of world-renowned artists, rising stars, and local Austin talent, making it a go-to spot for discovering new music and catching favorite bands in thoughtfully curated lineups.
- Beyond concerts, the flexible spaces often transform for private events, parties, and special performances, all while maintaining the signature Austin City Limits look and feel.
Together, ACL Live and 3TEN ACL Live offer two distinct ways to experience live music under one roof: big, cinematic nights in the main theater and high-energy, club-like shows in the smaller room. Both capture the essence of Austin as the Live Music Capital of the World, blending intimate connections between artists and audiences with polished, professional production.
