Austin City Limits to livestream Bleachers Season 52 debut

The Austin City Limits music series has announced an exclusive worldwide livestream of Bleachers’ Season 52 debut, scheduled for Sunday, October 11. Led by songwriter and producer Jack Antonoff, the band will perform songs from their fifth studio album, ‘everyone for ten minutes’, in a taping that marks their first appearance on the series.

The livestream will be available for free on YouTube via the Austin City Limits TV and Bleachers channels, offering a preview of the full episode before its PBS broadcast premiere early next year.

This event coincides with the broader evolution of Austin as a global music hub. The city’s transition from a DIY punk and counterculture center—exemplified by the historic Woodshock festival of the 1980s—to a major destination for massive festivals like Austin City Limits and South by Southwest highlights its significant growth in the music industry.
