Catching the Show Live (Well, Kinda)
That's right! ACL airs weekly on PBS stations across the nation (check your local listings, because nobody wants to miss out on a surprise Beyonc� appearance, right?). Tune in on Saturday nights and prepare to be dazzled by phenomenal artists, both new and legendary.
Tip: Revisit this page tomorrow to reinforce memory.
Pro Tip: Grab some snacks, dim the lights, and pretend you're right there in the Moody Theater – because with ACL's production quality, you might just believe it!
Streaming the Sweet Sounds of ACL
Can't make it to a live broadcast? No worries! ACL knows you can't always be glued to the TV (unless it's for a particularly epic ACL lineup, of course). Here's your chance to become a streaming superhero:
Tip: Slow down when you hit important details.
- PBS.org: Head over to the official PBS website and stream past episodes whenever your musical fancy strikes. It's like having your own personal ACL on-demand library!
- PBS Passport: Feeling fancy? Upgrade your viewing experience with PBS Passport (available with a small membership fee). This unlocks a treasure trove of past ACL performances, so you can binge-watch Willie Nelson, revisit that electrifying Foo Fighters set, or discover your new favorite artist.
Remember: Not all past episodes are available for free streaming. PBS Passport might be your best bet for unrestricted access.
