ACL Festival Guide - Saturday October 8

Yesterday was amazing, it was a bit hot during the day but it finally cooled off in the evening. Check out the official ACL recap video here. If you go early enough, we recommend the Austin Convention Center Parking garage on 2nd street which would be from $10-$12 depending on how long you stay. It is open 24 hours and is only 1 mile from the shuttle that leaves at Republic Square. You can also do what I did yesterday and take a pedicab from the garage. Also don’t forget there is the metro rail stop in downtown that is about a mile and a half from the shuttles. Today is packed with a great amount of bands for day two. To catch some of the great up and coming bands – get there early!

Here is who we recommend for today (by time and stage). Most of these bands are included in our ACL Band Picks from Thursday, if not they are pretty well known. Most of all – be safe, have fun and enjoy the festival. Don’t forget if you are not in Austin or at the festival, you can live stream it all weekend at RedBull TV. Also make sure and follow us on Instagram, we will be posting pics during the entire festival. We have also included the festival map at the bottom. There is a bit more shade this year and the more spread out stage configuration seems to work well. We also recommend downloading the ACL Fest App as you can save your favorite bands and create your own easy to read schedule on your phone.
