With full sun and temperatures in the ’90s, this past weekend made for a great second round of the Austin City Limits Music Festival. Upon arrival at Zilker Park, we were greeted each day with the familiar, colorful flags and signage as we walked in. As the afternoon progressed, flocks of attendees morphed into one giant crowd. Between abundant hydration breaks, here are the live music sets we visited.

If you give a music fan an ACL wristband, they’re going to go to ACL Fest. And if they go to ACL Fest, they’re going to be doing a lot of walking around from set to set. And if they’re walking from set to set, they’re going to get tired. And if they get tired, they’re going to need more energy. And to get more energy, they’re going to need to eat. Good thing ACL has plenty of great local food vendors to choose from. So let’s cut this “If You Give A Mouse A Cookie” stuff out and dig into the best bites of ACL Fest!

In the crowd at ACL, the community created by Movements is larger than the sum of its parts. As Miranda goads a mosh pit into existence and plays on while long-haired, shirtless and sunburned fans crowd surf, something is created that goes beyond the headcount.

There are tons of options from Venezuelan food, pizza, sandwiches and more to sweet treats, juices and acai bowls galore. There’s truly something for any taste at Zilker Park.

Kweller had experienced a nosebleed on stage and attempted to stop the blood with a tampon thrown on stage by an audience member, which only lasted two songs, and then Kweller had to leave. The next day, Coyne put fake blood on his forehead and asked the audience members to throw tampons at him to help absorb the blood.

It’s that time of the semester when assignments and tests pile up and everyone needs a break. While some are spending this weekend at the football game versus Texas Tech, others are going to Austin to attend the Austin City Limits Music Festival.

The struggle between finding something comfortable to wear and wanting to showcase the most elaborate outfit on Instagram is so real. Seasoned festival-goers have a general understanding of where that perfect compromise is and want to let others in.

People from across America will head to Austin this weekend to attend Fun Fun Fun Fest, a three-day, independent genre-based festival. The festival is expected to draw large crowds and follows the Austin Film Festival held two weeks ago, advancing Austin’s reputation as a major center in the entertainment industry.
