Friends of Austin City Limits
This year marks KLRU's 44th season of Austin City Limits; the longest running live music performance program on television and recipient of the rare Institutional Peabody Award for excellence and outstanding achievement.
KLRU provides access to these live performances and other exclusive invitations through the Friends of Austin City Limits program as a thank you for your annual membership contribution to KLRU, Austin PBS. Support provided through Friends of ACL helps KLRU deliver quality public television and services in Central Texas that impact the community through local productions, programming and educational outreach delivered on-air, online and on the ground.
Each season brings 18-20 performances that make up a well-rounded season including some high-profile acts, surprises, new up-and-comers and legendary acts that give ACL its roots. Our 42nd taping season included acts like Robert Plant, Florence + The Machine, Hayes Carll, Margo Price, Band of Horses and Rhiannon Giddens. Tapings are scheduled throughout the year based on artist availability and announced to members as soon as they are booked.

Access into the Friends of ACL program is offered to new members in one of our two entry-levels, Friends Up Front or Friends with a View. Current donors within the Friends program are then eligible to be placed on an upgrade waitlist to fill space in other levels as they become available.
