How was Tyler??? I dont want to miss Simpson if The Creator is underwhelming
looked like half the stage from his most recent Coachella, pretty much identical setlist to what he's been doing the last few years. id probably still see some of it because I love him but after seeing the ACL 22 and his arena tour I probably wouldn't need to

Been trying to decide if it's even worth trying to go over to Chappell with crowds like that. She has some bops that I think would be fun and last chance to catch her before she's headlining these, but that crowd size scares me lol
Seems like a potentially great time to eat dinner and grab a good Red Clay Strays spot instead

Go. Youll regret it regardless. Cause next time it wont be as convenient when she comes to town most likely. So many people regret not seeing her at Coachella and she was in the smallest tent. Now she is on a huge stage with barely any conflicts and theyre just putting it on a platter to eat up.

I will say if you are going for it try and get close. I thought the sound for Chappell was equally as bad as it was for Dua Lipa the night before. For whatever reason the AMEX stage can’t get the sound right.
The best thing Dallon Weekes has ever done was leave Panic at the Disco to start IDKHow. Definitely stumbled a few times with timing just running tracks and not having a keyboard player.
Something Corporate was a damn blast, met Andrew in the press lounge later that day and he was incredibly kind. He loved us having the same first name.
Eyedress was whatever. Cool in the studio but on that huge stage...eh.
Wave to Earth was amazing and had a pretty decent and passionate crowd. The logistics of touring from South Korea can't be kind but I'm glad they made it over.
Khruangbin took a few songs to warm up but once they got hot they were unbeatable.
Split Vince and Jungle.
Started at Vince, played a bunch of new stuff at the start but as someone who loves that new stuff I ate it up. After Rose Street, my group and I were about to take off until Vince started asking a fan in the front row what she had on her phone and asking why she wanted him to take it on stage. That banter led to him taking another fan's book, signing it, looking at the back cover, saying the author was a white boy, then asking that fan (who was black) "What side are you on? You could be an insurgent." The whole stream is on YouTube, it's timestamped here.
Jungle, man, what a goddamn set. I've never seen so many people dancing at an ACL set in my six years of attending and they just sound so insanely good live. Getting to hear Keep Moving live was my absolute highlight of the weekend.
Dua was the most crowded set I've ever seen in my six years of attending as well. Started way back almost by where the American Express activation was and could not hear shit. Genuinely do not think they turned the delay towers on for her set. Slowly got closer and closer and as soon as I finally found a solid spot, it was a blast. Kinda shocked at how many people left her set early but oh well, their loss.

Thank you. This confirms my need to get the rail for Jungle
Despite Milton's best efforts, the wifey and I got into Austin safe & sound last night...now on our way to Maudies for some breakfast tacos. All is well.
Catch me at Zilker today--I'll be the very tall guy in a yellow floral resort shirt, birkenstocks & a fanny pack. The plan is to bum around until Norah Jones, then St Lucia -> Santigold -> Jeezy -> Blink. Hope to see folks around!
DeathByRomy was cool, not really my cup of tea but energetic start to the day.
Wandered around and ended up at Chief Cleopatra. Damn good Sunday set. Super soulful, tight band, I was groovin.
West 22nd felt super weird because just about everyone there was my age which I'm not used to but makes sense given the whole band are either seniors or recent graduates of UT. They absolutely crushed and it's crazy how great they were given they've only been a band for a couple years. I think they're gonna do really well and turn into a sunny indie band that all of y'all hate in like five years.
Misterwives threw the hell down, did not expect their set to be as heavy as it was.
Flipturn also threw down but a bit more respectfully. You could tell they were making the most of their time on that stage and taking full advantage of playing to Chappell's crowd.
How I've gone this long without seeing Orville Peck I don't know but it was well worth the wait. Another artist who you can tell just loved being on that huge stage playing to a damn good crowd.
Finally got to see Kevin Abstract, good balance of solo and Brockhampton stuff. He had the biggest crowd I saw at Barton Springs all weekend long (I refuse to call it the hotel name)
What can you really say about Chappell Roan that hasn't been said yet. She's the moment, she's very deserving of all the success she's having, and she is a hell of a performer.
Don't know if she'll do it W2 but that Barracuda cover absolutely slayed.
And holy hell Sturgill Simpson to end the weekend. Him and his band walked on stage the second Kelahni finished, plugged in, played for 90 straight minutes (past curfew), said "Thank you Austin! See you next week!" and went home. Absolute barnburner and absolutely face melting. I could very easily be tempted to buy a one day pass just to see him again if I lived anywhere closer to Austin. Do not miss his set.
Stealing this format from Andrew. Day One off to a great start…bummed around until landing on Thee Sinseers, who were a lovely surprise.
Norah Jones was very good. Was a little worried her softer music wouldn’t translate to the big stage but it worked well.
St Lucia was next; love those late afternoon sets on the Barton Springs stage. Great energy overall.
The we did a lil tour-de-ACL, catching 20-25 min each of Foster The People, Santigold & Leon…usually I just commit to one set but that trio was maybe the most stacked hour of music I’ve seen at ACL in a while. Foster was probably my favorite set of the three.
Jeezy was a colossal waste of time. Shame on whoever thought booking him was a good idea. Only good thing to come out of that set was trying all the tacos over there.
Blink was mixed for me. Maybe bc I saw them play that exact show in an arena earlier in their tour, but the whole thing was so overproduced for my taste. I guess they did a really good job of concentrating the ethos of the group and deploying it perfectly to appease the crowd that clearly only gave a shit about 1/3 of the set list. Also, that was quite a lot of pyrotechnics. Still a fun, campy time overall that left everyone in my group thrilled.
Only caught the last 20 of Stapleton. I’m not a country fan at all and only really know Tennessee Whiskey, but still impressed with his talent. The juxtaposition between him & Blink was disorienting but once I got into the mood, really enjoyed it. Watching that set wind down with the Austin skyline behind Amex made me remember why I love this fest so much.
