Austin City Limits Festival

A portion of every ticket sold supports Austin parks, trails and green spaces. The money raised last year will pay for improvements across the city.

The annual music festival at Zilker Park takes place the weekends of Oct. 3 and 10.

Austin surpassed 100 degrees on Sunday, creating a potentially dangerous cocktail of heat and dust at Zilker Park.

About 70 ACC students spent the first weekend of ACL Fest learning the ins and outs of putting on a music festival as they prepare for careers in the industry.

The red-headed pop "femininomenon," decked out in cowboy chaps and a belt-buckle top, performed hits like "HOT TO GO!" and "Pink Pony Club," as well as unreleased song "The Subway."

The $499.9 million in economic impact translates to 3,766 full-time jobs in the local economy.

The annual music celebration is scheduled to take place Oct. 4-6 and 11-13 in Zilker Park. Local acts scheduled to perform include Being Dead, Promqueen, Kalu & The Electric Joint, and The Tiarras.
