As Austin City Limits (ACL) heads into its second weekend, festival-goers are gearing up for another round of unforgettable performances from some of the biggest names in music. While the entire roster promises to deliver, there are undoubtedly a few standout acts to keep an eye on. Here are some of the most anticipated artists lighting up the stages of ACL's second weekend.

Chappell Roan

One of the most exciting new voices to take the stage this year is Chappell Roan, an artist whose unique blend of pop, theatricality and uncompromising confidence is turning heads. At her performance on Sunday, Roan is riding a wave of momentum thanks to her latest album, “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess.”

With tracks like “Pink Pony Club” and “Casual,” Roan’s set offers an energetic mix of humor, emotion and showmanship that is not to be missed. She is becoming a strong voice for individuality and self-expression, and ACL provides the perfect stage for her vibrant, engaging presence.

The Marias

If you're in the mood for some sultry, cinematic vibes at ACL this year, don't miss The Marías. During their performance on Friday, the LA-based band brings a unique blend of indie pop, jazz and dreamy psychedelia, all wrapped up in a Latin flair. Led by Puerto Rican-born María Zardoya and multi-instrumentalist Josh Conway, The Marías have steadily built a fan base with their seductive sound and bilingual lyrics.

Chris Stapleton

On Friday, country music powerhouse Chris Stapleton will take the stage at the ACL and fans can look forward to a soulful, dark performance. Known for his deep, resonant voice and genre-blurring sound, Stapleton blends traditional country with blues, rock and soul. His ability to transcend genres while maintaining a raw authenticity has made him one of modern country music's most respected figures.

Renee Rapp

Reneé Rapp is one of the most exciting new voices in pop, and her ACL debut on Saturday is highly anticipated. Originally bursting onto the scene with her Broadway role as Regina George in Mean Girls, Rapp quickly went on to a blossoming music career, drawing fans with her bold, heartfelt lyrics and a voice that was as powerful as it was vulnerable.

Tyler, the Creator

Tyler, the Creator, known for his groundbreaking creativity and bold, genre-bending music, will electrify the ACL stage on Sunday with a performance that will undoubtedly push the boundaries of a festival headlining set. Tyler's versatile style, which blends hip-hop, jazz, funk and R&B, as well as his dynamic, often theatrical live performances have made him one of the most compelling artists of his generation. His energetic performance will certainly set the tone for ACL's final act.
