Cole Barnhill

Cole Barnhill plays 3TEN Austin City Limits Live on Friday, October 30, 2026. It's a single-bill night, with Barnhill as the only name on the poster.

If you're not already familiar, Barnhill is an Austin-based singer-songwriter. His music sits in that singer-songwriter tradition where the voice and the guitar do most of the heavy lifting, and the songs are built around melody and lyrics rather than a big band sound. It's the kind of set that works well in a room like 3TEN, where you can actually hear the lyrics and the space between the notes.

3TEN is part of the Austin City Limits Live complex, located at 310 Willie Nelson Blvd, Suite 1A, in downtown Austin. It's a smaller, more focused room than the main ACL Live stage, which fits a solo bill like this one. Since Barnhill is the only act on the program, the whole evening is built around his set.

The show starts at 8 PM, with doors opening at 7 PM. That gives you an hour to get in and find a spot before he takes the stage. It's a Friday night in downtown, so keep that in mind when you're planning your trip.
