Opening song at ACL W2

Does anyone recognize this song? It’s the song they played as they were walking out and they transitioned into the live performance. They kept saying how they are taking a 2 year hiatus to write music and I’m wondering what track this is

"Always" is the highlight of the show

I feel lucky to have been able to see the show 4 times (Austin April '25, Salt Lake City Aug '25, Boulder Aug '26, Austin Oct '26).

Having seen it 4 times now, I think Always is the best part of the show. Each time, it just got better and better. The way they do the lighting on the scaffolding, with the pulsing blue, synchronized with the beat. The way they do the fan lasers shining down on the boys plus lasers out above our heads. And during the bridge, the way that Leah takes her time with her camera, especially on Tyrone. Visually, it's all just gorgeous.

And the music itself is also such a journey. Starting as a dreamy, mellow ballad, the bridge slows it down even more, and includes one of my favorite lines that Tyrone delivers in any song - the way he sings "burning through the skies!" And soon after that "as long as I'm alive" and that powerful bass hits, it's just perfection. Then they ramp up the energy through the end. Capped off with the haunting female vocal, with her promise of her love, Always.

The performance just has everything. 💙

Rufus, last show for a couple years, ACL W2

Incredible show from the fellas. They’ve been touring for so long, glad they will get a break and have some time to make some new music. So good.

There’s always 1 bad show

Saw the boys tonight at ACL. Unfortunately it was the worst show I’ve seen them put on. Songs were slower than usual, audio was out of wack.

It happens :/ I probably won’t see festival Rufus again.

IMPORTANT INFO:

  • No Chairs are allowed in the venue. Prepare to rent your chair. As of this post, I wasn't able to find a current link for chair rentals.
  • Get to the venue right when parking opens even if you have to get there and just hang out. You don't want to get stuck in traffic any later than that
  • If you need to make arrangement for parking/shuttle, do it immediately. That way, you will get the most options. Reserving the day-of is very stressful and never guaranteed
  • Drink A TON of water before you get there. Make it a priority to stay hydrated
  • Bring earplugs (for those camping) mosquito spray, a light jacket and a very comfortable pair of walking shoes. It's incredibly hot during the day and surprisingly cold after the sun sets.
  • If you plan on camping, bring corkscrew stakes for your tents and sunshades. Those will give you the best results out there.

Good luck with your plans and please reach out to us if you have any other questions, we're local and love to help!

ACL Setlist WKND 1

I know they’re limited on time at a festival but a little disappointed no Always, Alive, New Sky, Until the Sun needs to rise, No Place…etc. Am I delusional to think they’ll mix it up for wknd 2? 🫤

In The Moment - The Gorge Night 2

Uploading here for all those having RDS withdraw like me. This is my favorite song from this tour (from a production standpoint). Goosebumps…ever…time. Enjoy!

u/MeowTheCow_ — 13 days ago

Last December I almost lost a friend to suicide. Thankfully we got to her in time, and I told her she couldn’t go, we had more RDS shows to go to. We’ve seen the boys plenty but she has yet to catch a RDS DJ set… Em this is for you <3

I’m surprising her with these tickets for her 30th birthday. Cant wait!

ACL Stream?

Any update on the ACL stream? Couldn’t find a conclusive answer on google. I see they are playing Saturday night but not sure if these streams are even going to be live. Thanks for any help!
