Music lovers rejoice! The first week of Austin City Limits was amazing and we can’t wait for the second week of the ultimate music festival. Since we are only half way through this amazing festival, I wanted to give you all the info you need to keep the party going through the second weekend.
Music: These will be lots of it! ACL Festival features a diverse lineup of acts every year with 8 stages and more than 130 bands! It’s (almost) guaranteed that one of your favorite bands is playing in Austin so check the full schedule of performances. From Beck, Outkast and Lorde (2014); to Bassnectar, Weezer, The Civil Wars (2012); The Eagles, LCD Soundsystem (2010); Yeah Yeah Yeahsand Pearl Jam (2009), their lineups are nothing short of epic.
Food: What type of event would this be without delicious food? With signature ACL fare such as the Hot and Crunchy Mighty Cone, vegetarian and gluten-free considerations and options far from just funnel cakes or turkey legs, the Austin Eats Food Court showcases Austin’s premier restaurants. Don’t miss the Farmers Market that offers food from a large variety of local vendors. (Full list of vendors)
Vendors: Music and food aren’t the only things to check out while at Austin City Limits, there are lots of amazing vendors too. One vendor that you must check out is the AT&T Gigapower Gallery. You can see live art performances each day from Austin’s own artists. The artists will be spraying live graffiti by SprATX artists and creating large 5×7 murals onsite, and there will also be daily “speed sessions” where the artists will rapidly create a work of art in 1 hour, demonstrating the speed of U-verse with GigaPower. A few of the confirmed artists that will be on site will be Grim, G52, Lucas Aoki, Truth, Gent and Boza!
We all love free stuff, right? Inside the lounge, learn more about U-verse with AT&T GigaPower, choose a custom free item, watch live streams from each stage and charge all your devices. Want to see if you’re eligible for blazing-fast speeds up to 1Gbps with U-verse with AT&T GigaPower? Check HERE. If you’re wanting to get some awesome festival swag, definitely stop by and see them!

Now, here’s the fun part….. AT&T has given me TWO tickets to giveaway for the second weekend of Austin City Limits. Do you want to go? Enter to win below!
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN A PRIZE. The Dallas Socials Giveaways (the “Giveaways”) are open only to individuals who are legal residents of the fifty (50) United States (including the District of Columbia) who are 18 years of age or older at time of entry. Winner will be notified via email on 10/07/15.
I hope I win!! I’m a broke grad student and am super depressed that I wouldn’t be able to go this year, since I’m from Austin and I’ve been every year for the past 7 years!!
Hi im writing because I just wanted to let Dallas Socials know that what theyre doing is so amazing! Thanks for even giving us a chance to enter such an awesome giveaway. I wasnt fortunate enough to gather funds in time to attend ACL on my own due to being laid off from my job, but im still keeping hopes up. I believe in paying it forward, if I would win these tickets i would turn around and with the money i saved i would help feed the homeless in my hometown of san antonio. There are dozens of men, women, and children without a home. I too was homeless once and had nowhere to run to, no money for food. Since that time, i set out to help others in their time of need. Whether it be small like giving change or water to helping shelter and feed my fellow people. Im just out here trying to do good and never expect anything in return. Id like to experience a once in a life time event such as ACL. For someone like myself, its the little things that count, the smallest gestures give so much meaning. Some things that we take for granted are those that others are praying for. God bless the Dallas Socials and ATT. Thanks.

What a great giveaway!! ?
I love music festivals. The atmosphere is so much fun at them. This sounds like a super fun event.
Thanks for the helpful tips! I hope to go to ACl for weekend two and take my niece, as she has never been to a music festival before. We would love to see Drake and The Weekend. & I’d love experiencing local food vendors! What was your favorite eats at ACL?
This sounds like such a great festival! I had no idea that Austin City Limits was more than a PBS show.
What a jam packed line up. I have heard good things about Austin. I’m sure it will be fun.
I would love to see this with the family. Festivals are so much fun to go to as a family. There’s so much to do.
That sounds like a great music festival – so much entertainment. It looks like fun for the whole family.
My sister in law who lives in Houston always goes to this festival. Great to hear good music and eat yummy food.
I have not been to Austin but have heard it’s such a great music and food town. This sounds like a great event (and giveaway)!
This is going to be so cool. You definitely don’t want to miss out on the second week.
Not entering as I live in New York City. I have never visited Texas, I will have to time my first trip for this Festival!

I have heard great things about the Austin City Limits music festival! I have to admit I would probably go just for the food!
I would love to go to ACL to see a ton of my favorite bands, and to have a great time!
That sounds like such a blast! I haven’t been to a music festival in years.
I wouldn’t have thought there was so much involved. The music alone has me wanting to go, but there’s so much to see and do.
Although I’ve been to many concerts, I have yet to experience the rush of a music festival. I want to be as close as I can to the stage and see the sea of music lovers all simultaneously dancing to the beat of the song. I want to be around fellow twenty one pilots fans and sing my heart out to all the words as my favorite band crowd surfs above me. I want to know that after my favorite band performs comes another artist I highly enjoy. I would not be able to contain myself to know that so many of my favorite musicians are all in the same park. I would love to go to ACL to experience one of the best feelings I will ever feel in my life.
I just heard about this festival on the radio and was going to google it. What a great line-up of music. Wish I was closer. Would be fun to road trip to it!
I would love to attend ACL. I’ve been wanting to go for the past 3 years, never made it. I am a school teacher in Dallas and I am hoping to win!
I would love to go to ACL because I just started a new job and need to celebrate at the amazing festival! #staylocal
What an awesome sounding festival. I have a friend headed to Dallas this week, how cool! I hear so many amazing things about Texas! This sounds great.
Why would I love to go to ACL? Hm… Because its the best festival around and I would LOVE to see The Weekend along with all the other amazing artists. Also, you can’t forget about all the great food Austin has to offer.
I would love to go to ACL because I have never been to a music festival before, but I do have a passion for music and would love to see everyone sing along and have fun! ACL is not something I can afford especially being a college student, so winning a wristband would be great, thank you!
Why I would love to go to ACL? The answer is simple: I love music and the vibe any musician gives off at their concert. I want to feel that specific vibe and more at ACL who is hosting many of my favorite bands.
Food, music, events… yep, that’s my kind of place. I think Austin would be a great area to visit too, I’ve def. got it on my bucket list.
I have been wanting to visit Austin! Such an artsy creative scene and lots to eat and do
