By Tania Zapien Music Journalist For 17 years, Austin City Limits Music Festival has brought some of music’s biggest names and most promising up-and-coming acts to beautiful Zilker Park. This year is no exception. Of course, ACL goers have been anxiously waiting to be in the presence of artists like Childish Gambino, Billie Eillish, Cardi B, Kacey Musgraves, 21 Savage and Lizzo for this year’s festival. However, there are many […]
By Caroline Janes Assistant Music Director Austin City Limits headliners like Tame Impala, Billie Elish and Childish Gambino (let’s hope his foot is a-okay this year) draw in thousands of music fans in each year. While big names get fans’ attention, some of the smaller acts can often go overlooked. The artists on the very bottom row of the line-up are all a part of Austin Kiddie Limits. Featuring kid-friendly […]
By Hannah Alvarado Web Content Contributor There were thousands of people, all jam-packed together in a group on that humid, gray and overcast afternoon in Austin, Texas. We all shuffled along slowly forward, but with growing anticipation, into the various lines that had formed. I obviously can’t speak for every single person there on that second weekend of ACL, but after having been in the crowd that evening, I say […]
By Allison Johnson Blog Content Contributor My first ACL experience was in 2012. I remember that it rained that weekend. When it started pouring, hundreds of us ran under tents to stay dry. You know who wasn’t leaving? People camping out at the stage. Crazy. It took me a while to realize why these people were so dedicated to sit in the rain. I was shocked. They were holding it down […]
By Claire Hansen Blog Content Contributor After attending Austin City Limits Music Festival (ACL) for the third time last weekend, I felt it was time for an evaluation.

By Janelle Abad Music Director 2011: The year of planking, Charlie Sheen’s #winning campaign, the peak of the triangles and galaxy print trend, and the release of the ever iconic Rebecca Black video of “Friday” (along with all of the parodies that came with it). Despite the wackiness of all of the items listed above, they all have one thing in common - they went viral on social media. Tumblr […]
By Janelle Abad Music Director Austin's beloved Zilker Park was flurried with anxious and excited attendees for the 15th Anniversary of Austin City Limits. This year's line-up was stacked with some of the best synth-pop and electronica acts in the industry, including M83, The Naked and Famous, Flume and LCD Soundsystem. These household names have also sparked a light for many of the other breakthrough artists on the bill. One […]
By Brittany Robinson Station Manager Austin City Limits is one of the biggest festivals in the country, and 2016’s was the biggest yet. It’s almost impossible not to enjoy a festival as grand as ACL. Radiohead and Kendrick Lamar are literally playing on the same weekend, and I strongly believe that if you can’t find pleasure in that, then you won’t find pleasure in anything in your life. The music […]
