Montclair Opens ACL Fest Saturday With a Homegrown 12:45 Set

Event

Montclair is scheduled for 12:45 p.m. on Tito’s stage

When

Saturday, October 10, 2026 · 12:45–1:30 p.m.

Where

Tito’s Handmade Vodka Stage · ACL Fest at Zilker Park

Lineup / admission

Weekend Two · festival credential required

Visit Austin’s October 2 guide to local ACL performers lists Montclair from 12:45 to 1:30 p.m. Saturday on the Tito’s Handmade Vodka Stage. The guide’s compact schedule repeats the same artist, date, stage and 45-minute window.

ACL Fest’s official site confirms Weekend Two runs October 9–11 at Zilker Park and provides the live schedule. Festival schedules can change, so the official ACL schedule and app—not a saved screenshot—should control the final time and stage when attendees enter the grounds.

When

Current artist profile

Where

Austin, Texas

Sound

Casen Hutton · Anna Connolly · Jackson Gillard · Clay Burkhard

Visit Austin identifies Montclair’s members as Casen Hutton, Anna Connolly, Jackson Gillard and Clay Burkhard, and says the group formed in College Station before moving from late Red River club slots toward the ACL lineup. Montclair’s Bandcamp profile describes the members as half siblings and locates the band in Austin.

Those sources establish the current four-person identity without requiring guesses about who plays which instrument during today’s set. Trackside is also avoiding a promised guest, arrangement or set list because neither the festival schedule nor the band’s official pages publish one.

Release

Heart is Alive! gives the clearest starting point

Release date

Released April 18, 2025

Montclair on Bandcamp

Details

10-track debut album · streaming and download

Montclair’s official Bandcamp lists Heart is Alive! as a 10-track album released April 18, 2025. The band’s official releases page labels it the debut album and links listeners to current streaming services.

The record moves through songs including “To Know is To Love,” “Coming to the Rescue,” “Killjoy,” “Sunroom” and the title track. That catalog is useful preparation for the band, but no official source says which of those songs will appear in the ACL set, so this guide does not turn an album track list into a predicted performance order.

The band’s current releases extend beyond the debut

Montclair official site

Sound

Lucky Day · Hey Victoria · Passing Through EP · Heart is Alive!

Montclair’s releases page currently leads with “Lucky Day” and “Hey Victoria,” then lists the Passing Through EP and Heart is Alive! It also presents a live “Lucky Day” performance made for NPR’s Tiny Desk format and an official “Killjoy” video.

The page is a current catalog hub, not a dated announcement of what the group will play at ACL. Use it to hear the band’s recent range before the set, while treating the performance itself as unannounced beyond its artist, stage and time window.

Lineup / admission

Availability varies by product · no walk-up promise

ACL Fest’s official ticket page currently shows different states across products: some options carry purchase links, while others are sold out or on a waitlist. It also says Friday is sold out for at least one one-day tier while presenting Saturday and Sunday purchase paths for that tier. Those labels can change and do not establish inventory for every credential type.

Montclair’s set is inside the festival grounds. Verify that the exact credential you intend to use covers Saturday, complete any required wristband activation and follow the current festival guide. Trackside is not quoting a single admission price because the official page displays multiple tiers and changing availability.
