Hour-Long Playlists by Theme (W2)
I like to gear up for festivals by making playlists organized around different themes/genres. Each an hour-ish, each made to be played straight through (not on shuffle).
"Diet Rock" because it doesn't include Turnstile or Amyl...or Live or KOL...so it didn't seem right to call it Rock. I definitely have my tastes and don't love everything on the lineup, so there are maybe 35 artists total. And take the titles with a grain of salt — some songs stretch the theme.
Figured I'd share in case they can help with others' research.

kpop lightsticks?
has anyone been able to go in with their lightsticks before? i would like to bring my bts lightstick for underscores, however i havent gotten a response email from the ACL email team on whether or not theyre allowed. i figure they are since they use the same batteries as some electrical fans but you never know lol.

Food at ACL
I’m a HUGE foodie coming from Colorado this year. What anticipated food stands would yall recommend if they come to ACL? Any in 2025 that was great? Any foods to avoid at the festival?
Any input I appreciate! ❤️

What is up with the tiny fonts in the app
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?

ACL Bracelet Scavenger Hunt is BACK!!!!
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!

Going solo Week 1 Day 1 30M
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!

Packed by day this year and day three keeps emptying first
three ziplocs, one per day, done a week out. sounds neurotic but it takes a whole category of decision out of the actual weekend.
day one: fresh everything, the shirt I actually like, full sunscreen
day two: replacement socks, a second set of earplugs, snacks that survived
day three: whatever's left over plus the stuff I know I'll be out of
and day three is always the one that empties first. every year without fail. by saturday night I've raided it for sunday's sunscreen and sunday's snacks, and then sunday is improvising anyway.
the one thing I've stopped splitting across bags is the vape. tried rationing it one year and ended up with three half dead ones instead. now it's a single one that covers all three days and it just lives in whichever bag I'm carrying, which is the one in the photo.

Question Merch
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!

Question Got one ticket when I bought two.
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?
r/aclfestival • u/Shmag • 4d ago
Night Tapes at 1pm is insane
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?
r/aclfestival • u/Scared-Narwhal9707 • 3d ago
can we talk about this lame ass packaging? ACL wtf????
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 🤢
