Austin City Limits Music Festival
The Austin City Limits (ACL) Music Festival is an annual three-day American music festival that takes place in Austin, Texas at the city's central public park, Zilker Park. Each year, in addition to food & art, most from local vendors, ACL Festival brings together more than 130 acts from all over the world to play rock, indie, country, folk, electronic and more on eight stages. Over 70,000 fans attend the festival each day.
Named after the PBS concert series, the Festival is produced by Austin-based C3 Presents, who also produce Lollapalooza as well as other music festivals across the country. ACL Festival celebrated its 10th Anniversary on September 16–18, 2011.
Following the Coachella music festival, on August 16th, 2012 Austin City Council members voted unanimously to allow Austin City Limits to expand to two consecutive weekends in 2013, despite some concerns over the impact this would have on a local farmer's market.
