Kevin Atwater

Kevin Atwater plays Zilker Metropolitan Park on Sunday, October 11, as part of the Austin City Limits Music Festival. He's a Chicago-born singer-songwriter now based in New York City, and this is his spot on the festival's second weekend, which runs from October 9 to 11.

Atwater started posting music online in early 2022, and things moved fast from there. A video of him performing his single "star tripping" went viral on TikTok in July 2022, pulling in over 2.1 million views. That one clip put him on the radar of artists like MUNA, Lizzy McAlpine, and Noah Kahan, and it's a good place to start if you're not yet familiar with his work. He's built his following around that kind of singer-songwriter approach—voice and song at the center—and this set will be his chance to bring it to a live stage here in Austin.

Since he's playing as part of a festival, the set is just one part of a larger weekend. Austin City Limits runs across two weekends, and Atwater falls into the second one, which spans from Friday, October 9, through Sunday, October 11. If you're planning to catch him, it's worth keeping the whole festival schedule in mind, as there are plenty of other acts playing throughout the grounds.

His set is scheduled for Sunday, October 11, at 12 PM. The venue is Zilker Metropolitan Park, 2100 Barton Springs Rd, Austin, TX 78746.
