October 17, 1974 was the day Austin City Limits welcomed Willie Nelson to the stage for the first time to tape the pilot episode of what would go on to be the longest running music television show in American history. Now, Willie Nelson and Family returns on the 50th anniversary of that taping to commemorate Austin City Limits’ remarkable half-century milestone with a Texas-sized outdoor concert on October 17, 2024, at Austin’s Long Center.

Austin originals and longtime friends of ACL Asleep at the Wheel will kick off the special evening with an opening set for the occasion. The performance will be taped, and highlights will air as a special hour long broadcast of Austin City Limits to air in early 2025 as part of ACL’s Season 50 anniversary.

Austin City Limits 50th Birthday Bash presented by Tito's Handmade Vodka is open to the public and free; fans must register with Fair AXS for a chance to attend. Registration opens at 8AM CT Friday, September 20th through 10PM CT Monday, September 23. Those selected to attend will be notified between Thursday, September 26th and Friday, September 27th and will be required to opt in.

This could be you and your crew! 🕸️ There's a new multi-verse multi-pack for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Live in Concert at the LC on Halloween, and that means the only thing you + your 3 friends will be fighting over is who gets to be Miles Morales for the night.

🕷️ How does it work? Just add 4 tickets to your cart, and one of them will be free! So easy a non-Spider-Man could do it. Head to https://bit.ly/LCspiderverseFB to pick them out.

🏙️ What is it? The 2nd installment of the Spider-Verse is headed to the Long Center on October 31, Live in Concert, which means turntables + orchestra + the movie on stage. Come trick-or-treat before the show and show off your best Spider-Man moves on the red carpet.

If you're noticing something different about Mélat's show in the Rollins on Friday the 13th, you're not wrong — she's put together an all-female band on instruments that you don't often see at an R&B show.
✨ FEATURING ✨
Mélat :: vocals & feels (you know her, you love her)
Camille Sc***ss :: violin
Sarah Hall :: harp
Dana Marie :: bass
Masumi Jones :: drums

Every one of them is involved in a ton of Austin music from local bands, jazz projects, Antone's appearances, music advocacy, and so much other cool stuff we can't possibly list it all here. Check them out, become their newest fans, follow along, and you can find tickets to Mélat's Friday show right here: longcenter.org

Can you believe it's been 16 years since the Long Center first opened?! When we think back to how it all began, we can't help but reflect on Dr. Teresa Lozano Long, one half of our founding duo. We're proud to be one of the many Austin organizations that carry on her legacy. Without Terry, Joe, and The Long Foundation, we wouldn't be here celebrating the Austin arts scene at Community Day on September 7!
