Still on the fence for weekend 1. One of my closer friends who would be most likely making the trip with me is also on the fence - he's actually coming to town tomorrow for Kurt Vile. I'm sure it will be discussed.

There's really not a lot as far as vibe and experience that you can't get elsewhere, but the lineups killer and Austin is a fun town.
I think they smashed most other fests with the headliners, even if they are about 5 years + behind on the booking. It is definitely better than any other Live Nation fest this year, for me. The Deadamau5 fans who got rail all day and bitched about having to sit through Father John, Sturgill, and Modest Mouse will not be returning though. Hopefully the fest gets some Baby Boomers to replace them for financial reasons. After the top two, I think the Pop and Hip-Hop acts will draw a younger crowd and they gotta brag to their parents that they saw Paul. Unless they're a saint son and just take mom with them.

I tried to take mi Madre but she hates the Beattles. She was interested in Metallica, though. Unfortunately, she has no interest in being around 60k people.
Unless its last minute, looks like I'm out for Float.. Looks like i need to go out of town for work next week and not sure Ill be back in time.. was looking forward to it too
Likelihood that they are waiting until after Float Fest floats by to drop the single days? I know Float is not real competition, but with that mid-Texas festival out of the way, ACL will be the main Texas focus afterward, so they can boost whatever sales at the more opportune time.
Since I'm impatient, I did just a little sleuthing on possibilities for some of the acts:
FRIDAY LOCKS:
ODESZA
The National
SATURDAY LOCKS:
CHVRCHES
Smino
Alice Merton
SUNDAY LOCKS:
Camila Cabello
Houndmouth
Khruangbin
Gang of Youths
Sailor Poon
The Texas Gentlemen
Friday or Saturday:
Hozier
Borns
AlVVays
Saturday or Sunday:
Childish Gambino
Arctic Monkeys
Shakey Graves
Gryffin
The Revolution
Friday or Sunday:
Father John Misty (educated guess is Sunday because he's touring 9th/10th/11th elsewhere, I wouldn't expect him to do 4 dates in a row.)
David Byrne (wild guess is Sunday? he's got a date in Dallas on Saturday, then apparently he canceled a planned NOLA date that was on Monday the 8th due to a supposed "scheduling conflict". then he has 10th at Bass in Austin, then the next ACL date following that. So I guess he's sticking in Austin all week long?)
Rezz (guess is Friday, only because she has a Red Rocks date on the 13th)
Janelle Monae
Noname
Ravyn Lenae
Manchester Orchestra Greta Van Fleet (I assume Friday - they have a Dallas date on the 3rd, then go to CalJam on Saturday)

For those that have been in the past, how big is the venue? I'm trying to figure out how long it takes to get from one side of the grounds to the other.
If it helps for comparisons sake, I've been to Bonnaroo, Coachella, Pitchfork, and Shaky Knees. From pictures I've seen, I assume it's closer in size to Pitchfork or Shaky Knees.

It’s larger than that and they’ve expanded the grounds by moving the Barton Springs Stage across Barton Springs Road. I’d say it’s closer to Centeroo in size. It takes me maybe around 10 minutes to walk from one main stage area to the other at the opposite end of the park, but I walk fast and am usually in a hurry. It helps to avoid the bottlenecks, like not going between the island on the map that used to be Austin Ventures stage and the craft beer tent/food court during busy hours, but instead cutting around, closer towards the main entrance close to the merch store, if you’re trying to get from one end of the fest to the other. This may not make any sense if they change the layout agin this year. I enjoyed the changes in ‘17 as they made it less crowded.
