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.
Much appreciated, thank you!
The cool thing is that the four main stages are divided up with two at each end. Once one band stops playing another is only a few minutes behind on the other stage on that end of the fest and you don’t have to shift far to enjoy both. And there are nice, big screens at all four stages. Normally, the act I want to see is on the opposite side of the fest.

That sounds great. Pitchfork is set up similarly (although only 3 stages). Both main stages are in the same field, just on different sides. You literally just shift when one act ends, and the next act starts a few minutes later on the other end.
That do(whatever the area code is for dallas) thing made it seem like Odesza was headlining.
I mean, they are technically billed as a 'headliner' on the original lineup. But there's no way of knowing exactly where they'll be placed (i.e., whether they'll headline a main stage, or a secondary stage like Martin Garrix did last year) until the schedule comes out in September.
I would be stunned, though, if they put The National up against Paul. I can't imagine them drawing away from the Macca crowd much at all. I mean, I'm a pretty big fan of the National, but there's no way I'd pick them in that scenario. Odesza is a different enough act where putting them up against Paul makes more sense. The question at that point becomes more of whether the National will headline a secondary stage or pre-headline a main stage.

Yeah, I recall a lot of people at Coachella wandering over from Sahara at the end of Paul’s set. He played quite awhile over his time slot. I feel like ACL will be even stricter on that. Maybe they’ll let him start a little sooner. I’m guessing we get 2 hours max. I can’t remember what they gave Phish at ACL. I bet it was 90 minutes.
I'd be surprised if they gave him one, and would also be surprised if he could do a 2.5-3 hr set without having an intermission/encore breaks, which idk if ACL has ever done. Seems like he got 2.25 at Lolla, that doesn't seem out of the question.
When it’s a legendary act like Paul Fucking McCartney, and you know he plays 2.5 hours without a break (or 3 with one) and has been doing so for at least 10 years, why would you schedule him for anything less? Best case scenario, he goes over and you pay a hefty fine. Worst case scenario, you cut him off early, piss off a lot of your fanbase, and forever be known as “That Festival That Told a Goddamn Beatle to Stop Playing”.
Now that we know ODESZA is on Friday, I am now fairly convinced Metallica will be against them. Greta van Fleet are all but locked for Friday considering they have a show in Dallas two days before, then got to Cal.Jam on Saturday.
Greta > Deftones > Metallica vs. Illenium > Rezz > ODESZA
buttheeeennnnn. The National landing on Friday throws me off. I always thought they'd be on the side stage just before Paul. I can't see them being on the side stage of either ODESZA or Met. Who would be on the side stages for them though?
It does not appear like ACL is releasing the single days tomorrow - unless it's a surprise drop. That means we won't know until July 31st. Ugh.
Reign wolf just dropped tour dates, and it says he is playing Weekend 2 on Friday, the 12th. I hope this is true!!!!!!!! I don't see him anywhere on the line-up....

I’ve enjoyed some migas and a honeynutte latte many times at Austin Java on Barton Springs before ACL. I’ve never tried Terry Black’s. I might have to change that this year. I’ve also stopped into Baby Acapulco’s for one of those purple margaritas and some chips and salsa when arriving later than normal one day.

While otherwise generic, I don't have a problem with Baby A's food. The purple margaritas are pretty shitty though unless you like 190 proof style drinks. It's like an overly strong daiquiri. Don't they only let you get 2 of those a visit as well?
