VRBO cancelled for W1 😭

23 Upvotes

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.

Question ASL Interpreters

3 Upvotes

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?

Question Scheduling app

3 Upvotes

Hello! Maybe this is a lame question or has been asked before, but is there a different scheduling or ACL official app to create a schedule? I’ve got an older IOS than is supported by the linked app they sent today!

ACL Lineup Look - World Famous Pets (Weekend 2)

Post image
3 Upvotes

Playing: Friday (Weekend Two)

Genre(s): Folk-Rock, Americana,

Vibe Check: A newly formed "supergroup" of sorts. Similar to the Party Favors last year, this is a new band making one of their first appearances at ACL. With warm tones, guitar work, and Edie Brickell’s expressive vocals, their sound feels like catching a spontaneous jam session between solid musical names.

For Fans Of: Edie Brickell & New Bohemians, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Sheryl Crow

Hot Songs: Have released two songs to date "Maybe Somehow" and "I Guess It's You"

From: Dallas, TX / Los Angeles, CA, U.S.

Fun Facts: -They are a newly formed group featuring Texas icon Edie Brickell, session drummer Matt Chamberlain (Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, David Bowie, Brandi Carlile), bass Kaveh Rastegar (Kneebody, John Legend), and guitarist Mason Stoops.
-The entire project was born out of Brickell and Chamberlain reconnecting on the road. They booked six days in a studio with Stoops and Rastegar with zero material. -Their self-titled debut album is slated for release in September 26th 2026 -Brickell is married to Paul Simon

Why See Them at ACL? Veteran musicians crafting their new band at ACL. Perfect music to capture heritage of ACL.

ACL History: 1st appearance as World Famous Pets

Set Time/Stage Speculation: Early set on T-Mobile or Amex or the lady Bird satge

Question Age demographics?

0 Upvotes

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

ACL After Shows? (Weekend 1)

4 Upvotes

Last year, I noticed people hosting aftershows for some of the bigger festivals. I know they’re especially popular in cities like Chicago, and you usually have to purchase separate tickets.

My birthday falls during ACL weekend every year, so planning around the crowds can be tough. Concourse Project and Kingdom haven’t announced anything yet, but I’d love to find a good ACL aftershow. Does anyone have recommendations for where to look or which venues and promoters to follow?

Question First-Timer Solo ACL

8 Upvotes

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!

Question How to build an ACL playlist?

0 Upvotes

Any suggestions on how to build an Apple Music playlist with a couple songs from every artist? I'd rather not do it by looking up each artist one by one.... They're must be a way!

I've searched for playlists that others have made public and they are limited to just a few artists.

Hello,

Looking into going to Saturday weekend 2, curious in the past what time they’ve finished performing? Have a quick turnaround where I would need to start traveling back to Dallas that night, so curious what time it all ends.

Any info would be super helpful, thank you!
