Sienna Spiro Makes Austin City Limits Debut With 13-Song Set
Sienna Spiro's hour-long Austin City Limits debut premieres on 3 October at 9 p.m. EST on PBS and on ACL's YouTube page, Rolling Stone has confirmed. The 13-song set closes with her breakout single "Die on This Hill".
The special centres on material from Visitor, her debut album released in July. Spiro taped her Season 52 performance only days after that release, playing highlights from the record across the hour.
"Die on This Hill" gets the final slot in the set. The song was first released in autumn 2025, according to ACL TV, and is one of several singles from Visitor alongside "You Stole the Show". The London-born singer-songwriter also performed "Die On This Hill" on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon ahead of the broadcast.
The ACL taping caps a fast run of high-profile appearances. Spiro made her MTV Video Music Awards performance debut in September, singing "Great Expectation" from Visitor. At the same ceremony she won Best New Artist.
For viewers who want the detail, the broadcast is listed as Season 52 Episode 5205, with a runtime of 52 minutes 50 seconds. The Season 52 tapings took place at ACL Live at The Moody Theater in Austin, Texas. ACL offered a worldwide livestream of Spiro's taping on 15 July at 8 p.m. CT.
Season 52 also includes a taping with Maggie Rose. Austin City Limits is the longest-running music series in American television history and the only television programme to receive the National Medal of Arts.
Spiro has also announced a debut tour of Australia and New Zealand, as reported by Rolling Stone Australia.
For fans, this means one full set in one place. Thirteen songs. No guest slot or festival cut-down. Just a new album played live and filmed for broadcast.
