Whether you're a festival newbie or a seasoned pro, we've got all the juicy details on what to expect, the dos, and the don'ts to make your ACL experience a legendary one.
What to Expect:
- Epic Lineup: Get ready to have your musical world rocked by an insanely diverse lineup of artists spanning multiple genres. From rock legends to indie darlings, ACL delivers the hits and the hidden gems.

- Energetic Crowds: Brace yourself for a sea of fellow music enthusiasts who are just as pumped as you are. The energy is contagious, so be prepared to dance, sing, and make new friends along the way.
The Dos:
- Plan Your Schedule: With so many artists performing across various stages, it's essential to plan your schedule ahead of time. That said, don't be afraid to go with the flow and discover new acts on a whim.
- Pack Smart: Comfort is key! Bring sunscreen, a hat, a reusable water bottle (hydration is everything), and a small backpack to carry your essentials. Pro tip: Include a portable phone charger – you'll thank us later.
- Capture the Moments: ACL is all about making memories. Capture the magic by snapping photos, but also remember to put your phone down and fully immerse yourself in the performances. Those memories will be etched in your heart forever.
The Don'ts:
- Don't Forget Your ID: ACL takes age restrictions seriously. Make sure to bring a valid ID to prove you're of legal drinking age if you plan on enjoying some adult beverages.
- Don't Block the View: We're all here to enjoy the music, so be mindful of fellow festivalgoers. If you're recording a video or taking photos, be sure not to obstruct anyone's view.
- Don't Overdo It: Pace yourself! ACL is a marathon, not a sprint. Stay hydrated, take breaks, and listen to your body. You want to rock out all weekend, not just for a few hours.
Get ready to create memories that'll last a lifetime, dance until your feet ache, and immerse yourself in the vibrant ACL atmosphere. It's more than a music festival; it's an experience that's uniquely Austin.
