🤠 Ella Langley to headline Two Step Inn
September 24, 2026 · – Kelsey Bradshaw
🎸 Happy Friday eve, everyone! Can y’all believe Austin City Limits Music Festival is next week?! I haven’t even made my schedule yet. 🥴

First Up

The Two Step Inn Lineup Is Out and Tickets Go on Sale Tomorrow.
My Spotify wrapped is always filled with showtunes and Beyoncé and even I know the lineup for Two Step Inn is a good one!
- Brooks & Dunn and Ella Langley are headlining the 2027 festival. Two Step Inn runs April 17-18 in San Gabriel Park in Georgetown. Brooks & Dunn is headlining April 17 and Ella Langley will close out the country music festival on April 18. Other artists include: Sheryl Crow, Parker McCollum, Michelle Branch, Flatland Calvary, Whiskey Myers, Josh Abbott Band, and more. [Two Step Inn]
- Langley just broke a big record. Langley’s song “Choosin’ Texas” just spent its 23rd week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking the longest run ever on the chart and surpassing Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” [Billboard]
- Tickets start at $179. You can buy tickets starting at noon tomorrow (unless you’re a Georgetown resident, then you can buy tickets now!) Tickets range from $179 for a one-day pass and $299 for a two-day badge. VIP options are available and start at $489. [Two Step Inn]
- The festival is still in its infancy. Two Step Inn debuted in 2023 with Zach Bryan and Tyler Childers headlining. I covered the festival’s second year and truly had so much fun! It’s the perfect Texas festival — two-stepping platforms accompanied the audience areas, western outfits were everywhere, and it was small enough to experience a little bit of everything. [CultureMap Austin, Austin American-Statesman]
- The merch is really cute! Listen, I’m only human. Of course I’m interested in a cute T-shirt! The two-steppin’ T-shirt and the longhorn flag T-shirt may end up in my closet. [Two Step Inn]

What's CITY Talking About
Video of ICE Shooting Highlights Inconsistencies
A video of a federal immigration agent shooting 28-year-old Wilber Rafael Garcés Pérez on Sunday shows that one of the agent’s vehicles did have its lights on. Garcés Pérez previously said neither vehicle had its lights on during the incident. [Austin American-Statesman]
Where Austin Burger Icons Eat in Town
Patrick and Kathy Terry may be the founders of P. Terry’s, Austin’s iconic burger joint, but they can’t eat burgers 24/7! So, where do burger legends go when they eat out? Julio’s in Hyde Park, for one. [City Cast Austin]
NHL Slow To Come to Texas
The National Hockey League’s commissioner Gary Bettman said the league is not in a rush to bring a team to Houston or Austin. The league announced in June that a decision would be made before the year ended, but now, the deadline is open ended. [Austin Business Journal]
Waymos Now Allowed on Highways
Uber announced this week that its autonomous Waymo vehicles can now take riders on highways in Austin. The feature, which will now appear in the app, had been in testing for months, officials say. [KVUE]
