Question 30 days early 🤣

My fiancée completely misunderstood how these ACL wristbands work. She put hers on 30 days early because she thought it was a Garmin watch! Now she’s stuck wearing it until ACL. Like, is there seriously no way to get this thing off?! 🤣

outfit help!!

2 Upvotes

hello everyone!!!
this question is more for the girls/divas of any gender.. where does everyone shop for festival outfits?🥹
I'm really wanting to do a Charli xcx vibe for friday and a 60s mod or 70s inspired outfit for saturday but I don't know where to find decent quality pieces that i can wear out and won't fall apart, but also that will be somewhat affordable 🥲 i know that's asking for a lot but i'm sure some of the fashion forward divas might know <3 i know thrifting is always an option and i'm open to it, i just know that's a little more left up to chance and the thrift stores in my area do not tend to have suuper cute items lol
I'm also wondering if anyone has recommendations for shoes? :) I'd love something comfortable but cute, and I'm willing to spend more money on shoes bc i definitely do not want blisters :b

sorry to be annoying!! i'd love any other tips any festival veterans may have for me !! tyia <3

Should I try to go solo?

12 Upvotes

Hi. 31F with a 3 day GA ticket for weekend 1. My friend who lives out of state canceled at the last minute and none of my other friends are interested in going. The lineup is good so I’m torn on what to do. I’m not sure I’d be happy just vibing alone all weekend, I’m extroverted but I’m also very shy. Are any groups still looking to adopt?

ACL Weekend 2 Volunteers — Anyone Still Looking for a Place to Stay?

Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m volunteering at ACL for Weekend 2 this year and wanted to see if any other Weekend 2 volunteers are still looking for a place to stay near the festival.
I’m coming from out of town and would love to coordinate with a few other volunteers to split an Airbnb/hotel somewhere close to Zilker Park and make lodging a little more affordable.
If you’re volunteering Weekend 2 and still figuring out accommodations, comment or DM me! 😊

Lorde bringing out Charli?

Do you guys think Lorde will bring out Charli @ ACL also? If so which weekend do you think she’ll do it. Will Lorde bring out Charli for her set or Charli bring out Lorde for hers? Girl, so confusing…😬

Question Wheelchair Accessibility?

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I’m wondering if anyone here has any advice or experience on going to ACL in a wheelchair? I am having ankle surgery 4-5 weeks before Weekend 2 and will most likely be in a manual wheelchair, but able to stand up in a walking boot for very short distances (in and out of car/bathroom).

I went to ACL W2 last year (and had a great time), so I’m mostly just looking for any advice on the accessibility standpoint (in and out of Zilker park, bathrooms, accesible viewing with companion, etc.). Just curious about how other people got along in this situation and am open to any tips/advice/stories of experience! TIA!

Question How feasible is going from Underscores to Audrey Hobert…

0 Upvotes

second year at the fest, first time going with a friend (her first fest ever), and we desperately want to see audrey hobert, but also don’t want to miss underscores.

underscores is 3:30–4:30 at beatbox, and audrey is 4:30–5:30 at t-mobile. i’ve seen underscores’ festival setlist (11 songs long) and i don’t care much about the last two songs, so i’m willing to leave early, but is that enough time? we don’t mind being towards the back of the crowd, we just very much don’t want to miss any of audrey’s set.

experience heavy sets

17 Upvotes

my two favorite sets the past two years have been Jungle and Empire of the Sun. they both played the miller stage right at sunset and it was incredible. wondering if there’s anyone this year with that kind of vibe? big light shows, costumes (like EOTS). the type of set to get super high and groove

Tito’s

3 Upvotes

How crazy is it going to be trying to get into Tito’s? How long before do you think we should get in line? I would LOVE to see Rebecca Black and Paris Paloma if possible. Paris ends at 4:15 at Miller and Rebecca goes on at 4:30 in Tito’s. I would also like to see FCUKERS but they go on as Lauren Sanderson is ending at BMI.🤔

Also does anyone know if there is like a time limit for how long you can stay once you get in ?

Is this a scheduling mistake? T-Mobile / BMI overlap

3 Upvotes

Both Saturdays have the BMI stage overlapping 15 minutes into T-Mobile time slot. As far as I can remember, those stages have never played at the same time because they are so close and the main stage will drown out BMI.

Wristband delivery?

4 Upvotes

Have people been receiving wristbands yet? I got an email from UPS on August 13th that my wristbands would arrive the next day. I changed delivery to be held at a UPS store since I was away, but there are no further updates since. It looks like the label was created and that's it so far. Is anyone else seeing similar? Hoping I didn't muck things up with my change.

UPDATE 8/26: I got an email from ACL/Frontgate today saying my order has shipped. Status still shows the same ("label created") but looks like we're getting closer!
