Austin City Limits festival is definitely a reason to head to Austin. It is in Zilker park and has tons of GREAT music
Bands great, The weather was Texas crazy. Friday, the first day hot, Saturday rainy until noon-then wet and cool. Sunday just right!
It was an awesome event, my first time attending. It was really crowded though so be prepared to walk alot too.
Great food great music people were fun.... Beer was pricy. However the event was well organized and easy to maneuver. Teens have already planned next year... Wear good shoes and drink a ton of water. Once in lifetime experience!!
We went in October this year and loved it all. Ate at cafes and restaurants along the walk back to our hotel at night so didn't eat much at the venue. We stayed 2 miles from Zilker Park and breakfast buffet was included. Austin is a wonderful city! Music, dog lovers, friendly folks everywhere we went. Cool shops if you're into that. I'm not a big shopper, but THIS place was neat. The 3 day concert was well managed and even with tons of people, it was safe and lots of fun.
We got last minute tickets to the ACL Live Country Christmas show. The lineup was great and use of a side stage helped move the show along and maximize music time while allowing the crew ample setup/breakdown time on the main stage. Great show!
Loved every minute at ACL!If you love music it is a must go to festival...had the time of my life..Austin is a cool city filled with cool people...add a music festival and it's perfection
If you go to Austin you have to take in a festival. None better than ACL. Great venue, great weather, great food. Well worth it.
Each time I go my mind is blown away. I have discovered some amazing artists in here which are not that famous in the country. In 2013 in the middle of the concert a kid got lost. So, the singer on the stage was telling us what the kid was wearing and how he looked. 2-3 minutes later the crowd was handing over a kid who flew on top of us as we passed him on to the stage. This is Austin. Keep it nice and weird. If that kid was in NY or CHI would have never been found like that.
We just attended a concert there. They are handicapped accessible. The staff were helpful and courteous. The bar staff were excellent and even made rounds into the audience. We will be going there again in the near future.
