“Music is coming back strong to the Live Music Capital of the World,” said Austin Mayor Steve Adler. “The return of Austin City Limits as an in-person festival celebrates that our efforts as a community to become vaccinated are working. Health and safety remain our top priority, and we will work closely with the organizers and Austin Public Health to ensure ACL Fest is in line with our health standards. We must continue to get everyone vaccinated and keep up our success.”

The safety of fans, artists, and staff remains our top priority. ACL Fest organizers are in regular communication with local health and public safety officials and will follow current recommendations and guidelines at the time of the festival. As the weekend’s approach, ACL Fest patrons will receive regular updates with important information regarding safety policies and procedures before entering Zilker Park, and which will also be shared at www.aclfestival.com, on social media and via the ACL Fest Email List. ACL Fest is excited to partner with the City of Austin and Austin Public Health to encourage vaccination in the months prior to the festival. Learn more about getting FREE vaccine without an appointment or registration at AustinTexas.gov/Covid19-vaccines or if you are coming from out of town, visit Vaccines.gov to find the nearest vaccine provider near you.

“Austin City Limits 2021 is a result of successful vaccine efforts and more than a year’s worth of protection measures,” said Austin-Travis County Interim Health Authority Dr. Mark Escott. “Taking the shot is our shot at getting things back to normal and we envision this happening before October if we stay the course as a community. Thank you to all those who have done their part and took the vaccine and to ACL who will utilize their broad voice to encourage vaccination in the months leading to their monumental event.”

Zilker Park has been the home of the Austin City Limits Music Festival for two decades. Since 2006, ACL Festival, in partnership with Austin Parks Foundation, has generated more than $41 million towards improvements to Zilker Park and parks across the city. In 2019, through a percentage of ticket sales, fans of ACL Fest contributed $6 million to improving Austin’s public parks, trails, and green spaces.

The Grammys and Billie Eilish

17-year-old singer Billie Eilish only gained popularity in the last three years or so – but what a rise to fame it’s been. Eilish’s emergence has been littered with number-one hits, gold and platinum singles, and this year, expected contention at the Grammy Awards.

Here’s a little more about this incredible breakthrough artist’s background, and why she looks like the industry’s next big thing (and the Grammys’ next big winner).

Rise to Fame

To some, 2019 might have felt like it brought an overnight rise to stardom. But Eilish has been singing since a young age. She made her first real recording four years ago, and released her debut single in 2016. Since then, she’s recorded two albums, toured four times (often to sold-out crowds), and made a name for herself as the first person born in the 2000s to record a #1 single in the U.S. Her music videos have hundreds of millions of views, and the fans don’t seem to be losing interest.

Through it all, Eilish has said that she felt the claws of depression. It wasn’t until she sought help and turned her focus to making healthy decisions for herself (like deleting her Twitter account) that she made real progress. “I’m in the happiest place of my life,” she’s said, also stating that she expected to die before seeing age seventeen.

Grammy Potential

Even if Eilish has had a somewhat gradual rise to fame, even at her young age, 2019 has represented a major popular breakthrough. And as a result, she’s expected to have – perhaps – a rare performance when the 2020 Grammy Awards come around.

While nominations for each Grammy category won’t officially be announced until November 20, fans and industry experts are already expecting a boatload of honors for the young artist. U.S.-based betting outlets are going to release odds likely as soon was the nominations come out (if not before), and early indications are that she’s going to be one of the bookies’ favorites in a number of prominent categories. Her song “Bad Guy” will likely be nominated for Song of the Year and Record of the Year; her album When We Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? should likewise be nominated for Album of the Year; and it will be a shock if she doesn’t win Best New Artist.

The Grand Slam

“Grand Slam” is typically a sports term. In tennis, it refers to the four biggest tournaments on the annual calendar; in baseball, it refers to a four-run home run. But some also use the term to refer to the unofficial most prestigious Grammy awards: Best New Artist, Song of the Year, Album of the Year, and Record of the Year. To date, a handful of artists have earned all four nominations, but Christopher Cross, of all people, is the only one to have taken home all four awards in a single night (back in 1980).

It’s always a long shot, particularly when you consider some of the big names that have fallen just short. But with Eilish likely to get the necessary nominations, some are starting to discuss the possibility that she could actually become the first person to pull off the Grand Slam.

Buckets of success haven’t changed Eilish’s outlook on life. She loves fame and she loves being who she is through her music. In fact, given how she overcame the aforementioned struggles, it may even be fair to say her rise to superstardom has helped in some ways. And with this kind of buzz already building for a Grammys ceremony that’s still months away, it doesn’t sound like that success is going anywhere anytime soon.

Finneas

FINNEAS announces North American headlining tour dates, new track & debut EP

Debut EP, Blood Harmony, to be released Oct. 4; headlining tour dates start Oct. 15

Today, 22-year-old songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer and artist FINNEAS, releases his latest song “Shelter.” With this release comes the exciting news of his highly awaited debut EP, Blood Harmony, out on October 4.

Listen to “Shelter” HERE.

In speaking about the new song, FINNEAS reveals, “I wrote this song a couple years ago and just let it percolate for a while, seeing how it would age,” he explains. “When I looked through my music to release this year, I came across the demo and was pleasantly surprised to find I still liked it.” He continues. “Usually, I get bored of my stuff almost immediately. I wanted this song to have an urgency to it when I recorded it, the same way that the lyrics do—the kind of feverish feeling that accompanies loving someone.”

Explaining the title of his EP, FINNEAS shares, “I would love for this title to remain ambiguous to listeners and for everyone to be able to imbue it with their own meaning and justification.” As the sole collaborator, producer and elder brother to Billie Eilish, he elaborates. “The most common use of the term blood harmony is an English expression for what it sounds like when siblings sing together, that biologic chemistry—I think that speaks for itself.”

This fall, in addition to playing Austin City Limits Music Festival (TICKETS HERE), FINNEAS will embark on his first headlining tour. Kicking off October 15 in San Francisco, the five date run will see him play Los Angeles’ iconic Masonic Lodge at the famed Hollywood Forever Cemetery before heading off to Chicago and Brooklyn and concluding in Boston on October 24.

FINNEAS Tour

To ensure tickets get into the hands of fans and not scalpers or bots, the tour has partnered with Ticketmaster’s Verified Fan platform. Fans can register now through Sunday, August 25 at 11:59pm ET HERE for the Verified Fan presale. Registered fans who receive a code will have access to purchase tickets before the general public on Tuesday, August 27 at 10am local time through 10pm local time.

Tickets will go on sale to the general public starting Wednesday, August 28 at 12:00PM local time. For more information, go to: www.finneasofficial.com

Responsible for penning international smashes ‘ocean eyes’ and ‘when the party’s over’ and producing the No. 1 debut album ‘WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?’ FINNEAS recently topped the Billboard Hot 100 Songwriters and Hot 100 Producers charts for 9 consecutive weeks. While Billie Eilish’s “bad guy” –produced and co-written by FINNEAS – has topped the Billboard Hot 100 charts, taking Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” Ft Billy Ray Cyrus off to the top spot this week.

Earlier this year, FINNEAS, along with his sister Billie, were honored by ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers) with the prestigious Vanguard Award, presented to them by Academy Award-winning actress Julia Roberts.

“Shelter” is out everywhere now.

Following the announcement of her forthcoming debut album, “WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?” and the release of her latest song and video for “bury a friend,” Billie Eilish has announced her WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP WORLD TOUR, first revealing her North American tour dates for 2019.

Starting in San Francisco on May 29, tickets for the nineteen-date headlining tour go on-sale Thursday, February 7 for Verified Fan pre-sales and Friday, February 8 at 12pm local for general. To ensure tickets get in to the hands of fans and not scalpers or bots, the tour has partnered with Ticketmaster’s Verified Fan platform. Fans can register now through Tuesday, February 5th at 11:59pm EST HERE for the Verified Fan presale. Registered fans who receive a code will have access to purchase tickets before the general public on Thursday, February 7th at 10am local time through 10pm local time.

For more details on her upcoming live dates and ticket information, go to: http://www.billieeilish.com

Billie Eilish’s meteoric rise to global stardom has been nothing short of phenomenal and arguably unparalleled to date. Since her ‘Ocean Eyes’ debut, Billie has quietly, yet unapologetically infiltrated the forefront of pop. Thanks to a growing legion of loyal followers across the globe, an EP that has sat in the Billboard Top 200 for more than 18 months now, more than 5 billion combined streams globally, and tours that have sold out consecutively around the world, Billie Eilish is ready to release her highly anticipated debut album ‘WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?’ on March 29 via Darkroom/Interscope Records. PRE-ORDER HERE.

“WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?” was written, produced and recorded entirely by 17-year-old Billie Eilish and brother Finneas in their childhood home of Highland Park, Los Angeles. Recorded in Finneas’ bedroom opposite Billie’s, the pair spent most of 2018 writing songs on the road, then spending many days and nights when off the road, at home, recording the album. The first song to be revealed is “bury a friend,” which has since amassed more than 50 million combined streamssince its release. The official Michael Chaves-directed music video also debuted last week and was the #1 Trending Video on YouTube with more than 23 million views to date.
