Another year at Austin City Limits Festival is here with acts you know and many you might not performing on stages at Zilker Park.

Several of the major performers are coming through Austin on tours or after hitting up other festivals. Due to the scale of those performances, the lightning cues, and more, many groups will have similar setlists during a recent spring of shows.

The website "setlist.fm" invites fans to share the set list from recent concerts of those artists. The Statesman peeked at those to make an educated prediction about which songs these big name acts might feature at Austin City Limits.

These groups could all pull a 180 and start and end their ACL Fest show completely different, but here's what's possible based on their recent performances:

Kendrick Lamar set list opens with 'Heart Part 5'

Kendrick Lamar has been playing festivals worldwide from Tokyo, Japan to Verona, Italy. Most of those shows have kicked off with the "Heart Part 5," including his most recent performance at the "Life is Beautiful" festival in Las Vegas.

Other songs have included "Worldwide Steppers," "m.A.A.d. city" and "Humble."

Lamar has been ending this recent run of shows with "Savior." Here's a look at his most recent set lists.

Noah Kahan set list could start with 'Northern Attitude' or 'All my Love'

Noah Kahan's songs "Northern Attitude" has been leading off the majority of his last ten concerts. But at his most recent concerts in Nashville, as well as during his ACL Live taping in Austin last month, Kahan has been starting with "All My Love."

Other songs have included "She Calls me Back," "Dial Drunk" and "Orange Juice."

Kahan has been ending his set list with "Homesick" most frequently. Here's a look at his most recent set lists.

Shania Twain set list could start with 'Come on Over' or 'Waking Up Dreaming'

The Queen of Country Pop Shania Twain was in the capital city this past April for the CMT Awards' first ever show from Austin. She's most recently played concerts in the United Kingdom, leading off her shows with "Waking Up Dreaming" at several of them.

But her last show in England led off with "Come on Over," a more upbeat song that may draw the Austin crowd in more and was also part of a shorter setlist by comparison.

At each of these shows, she has been concluding with "Man, I Feel Like A Woman." Here's a look at her most recent set lists.

Foo Fighters set list opener looks to be 'All My Life'

The Foo Fighters have been leading off with "All My Life" the last few 2023 tour concerts, most recently in El Paso on Thursday.

Other songs have included "No Son of Mine," "This is a Call," and of course, "My Hero."

Where is he now? 'KISS guy' went viral after Foo Fighters invited him to play in Austin. We caught up with five years later.

Keeping the audience waiting, the band has been closing their concerts with "Everlong." Here's a look at their most recent set lists.

Mumford and Sons set list has sometimes started with covers

Mumford and Sons' last ten concerts have been a bit of wild card for openers. In their last ten concerts, at festivals worldwide, the set list has included songs like their own song, "Babel," but also covers.

Those songs have included "The Whole of the Moon" by the Waterboys, "Everything I do I do it for You," by Bryan Adams and most recently, "Precious Time" by Van Morrison and many more.

Other songs have included "Below my Feet," "Holland" and "Ditmas."

The band has been ending most of their concerts with "The Wolf" or an encore, "I Will Wait." Here's a look at their most recent set lists.
