As Chappell Roan's star rises, ACL Festival swaps performance times: Viral pop star swaps places with Ohio band Caamp – Music

Viral pop star swaps places with Ohio band Caamp

Chappell Roan (By Ryan Clemens)

It was only a matter of time before ACL Chappell adjusted Roan's festival slot. Given the singer's record-breaking star status, organizers have moved her performance time at the 2024 festival from Saturday afternoon to Sunday evening.

Roan was originally scheduled to perform on the American Express Stage on Saturday, October 5 and Saturday, October 12 at 4:20 p.m. However, after her popularity has grown tremendously in recent months – including an August appearance at Lollapalooza that organizers said was the biggest single-day gig in the festival's history – she will now play the same stage on Sunday, October 6 and Sunday, October 13 at 6:45 p.m.

The lineup change means that Ohio folk band Caamp, originally scheduled to perform on Sunday at 6:25 p.m. on the Honda stage, will now take Roan's place on Saturday at 4:20 p.m. on the American Express stage.

Roan, who opened for Olivia Rodrigo on tour earlier this year, has been in the music industry for years; her Spotify discography stretches back to 2017. However, it was her first full-length album, 2023 The rise and fall of a Midwestern princessthat went viral on TikTok and grew her Spotify following to over 40 million monthly listeners.

Like all high-profile music festivals, the ACL is booked up months in advance, and Chappell Roan is not the first artist whose popularity skyrocketed prior to his performance at Zilker Park. Fresh off the release of the groundbreaking album because I love youLizzo drew a huge crowd when she played the smaller Miller Lite stage at 7 p.m. in 2019.

Dua Lipa, Tyler, the Creator, Chris Stapleton, Pretty Lights, Blink-182, Sturgill Simpson, Khruangbin, Leon Bridges and more will join Roan at this year's ACL Festival, which takes place October 4-6 and 11-13 at Zilker Park. The full, updated lineup can be found here.
