Adrianna Elias Music Journalist So, picture this: a broke college student from West Texas, hoping for a miracle invitation to the coolest event in Austin—Austin City Limits (ACL). I would daydream about a conversation going down like this: "Hey, Adrianna, it's so good to see you! You're incredible and so cool. Wanna go to ACL for free?" Cue the celestial glow as a super-hipster clearly made for an Austin, Texas, […]
By Grace Wartman Music Journalist This past weekend, I got to attend Austin City Limits at Zilker Park in Austin! With scary sights to get festival goers in the Halloween spirit, such as having to see Jared Leto in person and the black snot aftermath in my nose due to Zilker Park dust and whatnot, the festival was, as always, a mentally-healing, physically draining, excellent 32 hours of live music. […]
By McKenna Wells Local Music Director I could not tell you how stoked I was to see Paramore on the list of headliners for Austin City Limits Festival in 2022. Despite being a dedicated fan of the band, I had never seen them live but ACL gave me the opportunity to see them for the first and second times. For weekend one, I was ready and lined up at the […]

If you were unable to attend this year, or only caught the artists from weekend one, I will fill you in on what you missed. Unfortunately, because of my student schedule I only attended Saturday and Sunday of the three-day festival but packed […]
By Maddy Lehr Last weekend, I had the absolute honor of speaking with one of my favorite bands, Twen. Just a few months ago, they released their sophomore album, One Stop Shop. Avery, another assistant music director, and I sat down with Jane Fitzsimmons and Ian Jones to talk about the new album. Maddy: How was the band formed? Jane: We both went to school in Boston, and we were […]
By Ashley Farnie Assistant Music Director My disappointment in ACL’s lineup this year was resolved with the announcement of Sloppy Jane’s set scheduled for Weekend 2. I was excited to see the band on a smaller stage after seeing the band perform at Mohawk in March and the Moody Amphitheatre in May supporting Phoebe Bridgers. The intimacy allotted by festival settings allows for casual viewings of lower-profile artists. At the […]
By Avery Viers Local Music Director After jumping at the opportunity to apply for media credentials, I was ecstatic to be accepted as a contributing music journalist for weekend two of Austin City Limits Festival. While never having attended the festival before, I was admittedly ill-prepared to embark on a modest 15,228 steps throughout our afternoon spent in Zilker Park. Nevertheless, I couldn’t have asked for a more positive experience […]
