Austin City Limits gets even more lit this year.

Summer is approaching with each passing day which means we're getting closer to better weather and festival season. Coachella's already passed and was incredible, even if you were just streaming. However, there are plenty more festivals on the horizon with a whole lot of dope hip hop and R&B acts. Today, Austin City Limits has revealed their festival line-up and it's looking fire.

Austin City Limits has unveiled their line-up for this year's festival. The festival is set to take place over the course of two weekends: October 5-7th and October 12-14th. Travis Scott and Childish Gambino join the festival's headliners alongside Paul McCartney, Metallica, Arctic Monkeys, The National and Odesza. In addition, expect to see performances from the likes of Khalid, Camila Cabello, Brockhampton, Lily Allen, Janelle Monae, Noname, Tinashe and more.

It's definitely looking like a fire festival especially with Scott and Gambino scheduled as headliners. The two of them are already looking at a major year ahead of them. Travis Scott has already been tapped for major festivals including headlining Montreal's Osheaga and HARD Summer Music Festival. As for Gambino, he's announced several tour dates for the coming fall with Rae Sremmurd, Tyler, The Creator and Vince Staples scheduled to be his openers of those dates. In addition, he also received a nomination for top R&B Song at the Billboard Music Awards for "Redbone."
