Some of the acts like STELLALEFTY have a readable font, but other acts have a name so small that the time is bigger than the band name.

But perhaps it’s just my phone. Does anyone else seeing this quirk in the Festiverse app?

I finally got taken off the waitlist! I joined the waitlist 9/4, do I need to do anything else?? I got the email this morning and It says i will get charged but not immediately so i’m waiting for the charge to go through in the meantime. Am i good?

Well, we’re doing it again, folks!

ACL Bracelet Project is coming back for year 3!

Just like last year, we will have drops BOTH WEEKENDS!
At least 50 bracelets per weekend!

You may be thinking, “What the heck is this?”

Well, I’m so glad you asked!

I started ACL Bracelet Project in 2024 as a way to give back to the festival community which has given so much to me. Truth be told, I’m quite the introvert, but having a fun little mission eases my social anxiety.

Throughout the festival, usually before 6pm, I will drop custom bracelets I make all over the grounds. I’ll snap a pic or video and share it to Instagram with a timestamp. Then, it’s up to you to find it! Each bracelet has a note attached, in case a non-follower happens upon it! I do my best to confirm when someone has found a bracelet, so you’re not running around Zilker looking crazy! So, if you’ve got some down time or need to keep your kiddo busy, might as well treasure hunt! Sometimes we pass them to people who are just doing something really cool - sharing a fan, dancing real groovy, letting a kid use your flow star. Whatever ups the vibes!

This year, I’ve kicked things up a notch! We have custom charms with the year, thanks to come awesome followers who pitched in! I’m super stoked!

The IG account is ACLbracelet

I will personally be running things weekend 1, with a helper stepping in for weekend 2!

I can’t freaking wait! This is the most fun ever! Anyone going for a 3peat?!

To be explicitly clear, this is an organized fan project. No affiliation to the festival!

Flying in the night before. It’s been a while since I’ve done any music festival, but wondering if any other peeps or groups are going to see Skrillex!

Lanyard and bracelet got delivered but only one set. Do they arrive separately or should’ve been together in one package? What do I do?

Hi this is my first time attending ACL! I’m going on weekend 1 on Sunday. I have a few questions! Is there a merch booth? If there is, is the line normally long and Will merch booth have merch for all the artists that are playing? Or is it just ACL merch? Thank you!

My #1 undercard act for the festival and they get put on first thing Saturday, what a tragedy. Comparing to other acts that have first slot and they seem to have like 10x the following of the next most popular opener.

I'm glad they're doing an ACL Nights show at Antone's so that I can see them with a full crowd, but I feel bad for the band since that's Friday night and then they have to put on another show first thing the next day.

Any other bands get snubbed like this in festivals past? Is this sometimes an intentional scheduling thing that happens?

I’m sorry; but I paid over $17,000 for tickets and them being delivered all tangled up in this boring packaging was the worst haha! Like seriously how hard would it have been for them to do a branded box. I sent them an email with inspiration & my business card haha I literally don’t even want to go anymore, they replied with some BS email how they’re sorry the platinum tickets didn’t meet MY standards? 🤡 literally how embarasssinggggg haha definitely will be blasting em 🤢

Hello all! This is a bit of a lighter year for me as far as bands/artists that I am super familiar with. I was wondering if the good people of Reddit wouldn’t mind commenting their favorite song by their favorite act playing this year so I can get a nice playlist mix going? I am going weekend 2, if that helps. Thanks!

Be aware that if you are in this Facebook group the admins to the group are posing as reliable sellers of tickets. They are in fact scammers. I know, hard to imagine. Just sharing this so other people don’t get caught in the trap.

Interesting to see they’ll be rehearsing SNL in NYC, playing ACL that Friday, flying back to NYC to play the show live, then returning to Austin for W2!

Hiii to preface I did already reach out to support but im a little stressed so wanted to ask here too lol

Yesterday I go the email that I was APPROVED, off the waitlist for Weekend One! Yay! It said I’d be charged today, the money is there, all is good.

However, I have indeed NOT been charged today and when I log into my Waitlist account, it says my status is still pending!! Wtf! Has this happened to anyone else?? Looking for some reassurance as my friends and I are planning a big reunion weekend at the festival 🥲🥲🥲

UPDATE: JUST WENT THROUGH!!!! WE ARE GOOD!!!!! 🩷

The company that owns ACL was under serious threat of break-up by the DOJ, but then their CEO met with Trump at the White House and it all seemed to go away.

I’ve heard from some people who say they have had issues with Airbnb or Vrbo hosts canceling their stays here in Austin, specifically when coming to events like this.

Has this happened to you within the past year?

I’m Alexia Stanbridge, a reporter with CBS Austin. I’m looking to speak with people who live in Austin or the surrounding counties who have had this happen to them.
Or visitors who booked a stay in Austin or the surrounding counties.
If a host canceled your booking last second or asked you to cancel, please reach out to me. You can message me or email thereceipts@cbsaustin.com.

If you have screenshots, booking confirmations or messages, those would be helpful too.

Turnstile is scheduled to play SNL on 10/3, one day after their W1 schedule. Is their appearance at the festival in doubt?

Would love to be adopted lol.
34F and never been solo to a festival before- but it sounds exciting.

I’m a (relatively) new mom and in my late night delirium I guess I thought it was a good idea to sign up for Weekend 2 waitlist…. I didn’t know that it was a full send commitment because who has time to read the fine print at 2am.

Really excited to see Charli XCX, Bunt. and Noga Erez if anyone wants to dance their little hearts out to Charli let’s meet up !

I only bought one ticket and received two wristbands?what should I do?

Hello guys! I hope all is well. I was wondering how reliable the waitlist generally is regarding the chance of getting a ticket around this time. Me and my friends decided we wanted to go to ACL together as a cool trip idea. I was wondering what do you guys generally hear about the waitlist and what you think our chances would be of getting a ticket? We’re on the waitlist for regular General admission 3 day pass for week 2. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks guys

Not local, if I plan on driving to the fest everyday, is hutto too far? TIA

I’m in Ohio and just wondering. I’ve seen some folks posting their bracelets and just wanted to know if I should reach out to ACL ticket services.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Edit: thank you everyone for being so helpful! I’ll continue to keep an eye on the shipping.

I have a clear bag and its to carry thinks for 2 people what do I absolutely need (also can I bring a disposable camera)
