why isn’t lorde and rufus stages swapped?

correct me if i’m wrong but lorde is playing the stage farthest west and rufus is playing the stage furthest east with the skyline… wouldn’t i make sense for lorde to have that stage with previous years performances and the differences in the stages like how much lingers the cat walk is?

Live [W2]

Is this the remnants of the Throwing Copper guys from the 90's? Pretty sure I got that album from my BMG Music Service subscription. Or is it a different act? Throwing Copper Live does not have an ACL appearance on their website and searching "Live performing at ACL festival" does not render the most helpful results. Yes, I am aware there will be hundreds of live acts performing at ACL, thank you.

How packed do u guys thing the TØP crowd will get @ the Amex stage?

I am a huge TØP fan and seeing them up close has always been a HUGE dream of mine since i was in middle school.

I was planning on camping at Amex as soon as the doors open BUT i also really want to see underscores 💔

Do you think if i go to beatbox for underscores and run to Amex stage at 4:30 i can still get a relatively good spot for TØP? Like at least past the sound

Or do u think by that time there will be so many TØP campers already i wont stand a chance 💔?

I want get at least past the sound control cabin thingy but idk if its even possible if i see underscores 💔

After partyyy

Which one are you guys most excited about?

It’s my first time attending the fest, and I wasn’t aware there would be so many. I think we can attend any week’s AP, irrespective of whether we’re attending that week’s main event.

I might do BUNT. twice, underscores, Lola Young, and Bleachers.

Which one are you most excited about?

VRBO cancelled for W1 😭

UPDATE: Called VRBO and they’re giving us a $445 credit to rebook something else via VRBO, expedia or hotels.com 😛

my friends and i had a VRBO booked for weekend 1 of ACL but the owner cancelled on us and wants to charge us more (because of the new rental property laws in Austin)… any advice on finding new accommodations or is anyone out there looking to fill 3 spots in their rental fri+sat+sun? we’re fun and cool, i swear.

Age demographics?

Heyyy 20 year old planning on going to acl this year for the first time super hyped but the only festival I’ve been too so far is Lollapalooza and it felt like everyone there was 16-25 and was wondering how it might compare or just in general what the age demographic tends to be like at acl? Thanks

First-Timer Solo ACL

I'm traveling from Dallas to Austin for ACL for the first time. I plan on driving down on the Friday and staying at a hotel in North Austin (specifically near Parmer and Techridge) and then taking the CapMetro from my hotel to the festival. As a solo female attender, is this a safe option, has anyone had any issues? I only ask this because public transportation in Dallas isnt really safe so I just want to weigh my options and see if it just might be better to drive to the events center and park there. Additionally, I thought about driving to the domain and taking the 803 from there (could be a bad idea, i have no idea ab public transport in austin my apologies) Also, if y'all think my hotel is too far from the festival please feel free to let me know as its refundable lolol. Let me know what y'all think and if you have any additional tips. TIA!

ASL Interpreters

If anyone here is involved with the ASL program, why is only the final show at the Amex stage every night set up for ASL currently? It used to be at least a few of the last shows would have ASL on the two main stages to start off and you could request more as well.

I've already submitted a request to have more shows interpreted but I want to know what happened. Does anything change going forward?
