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.

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.

When my friends and I are overwhelmed with work and losing motivation quickly, we like to get in the car and take a day trip. It might look like my advice is simply to run away from your problems, but that’s not it at all. Sometimes, all you need is a day of fun to get yourself motivated again and to forget about all the stress for a bit.

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.

In an attempt to ease the pre-festival anxiety, here’s a mini guide to the most important things you should know before you go to ACL 2023.
