Words cannot express how much fun we had at ACL Festival! This is a 3 day concert event where bands take over 8 different stages throughout the infamous Zilker Park. David and I checked off another Austin bucket list item this weekend, and we did it VIP style, thanks to my dad!
The VIP pass allowed us access to a shaded area with plenty of free food and drinks. The air conditioned restrooms were a big score too! We came back here throughout the day for brief breaks, in between the bands we wanted to see.
I was looking forward most to Kings of Leon on Sat night, and they did not disappoint. They played all the songs we loved, and David and I worked our way up close to the front. What sticks out in my mind most was the encore. As we were jumping up and down, feeling the energy, and singing loud to one of their hits, it started pouuuuuuuring. The timing of all of that made it seem like a surreal scene out of a movie. Definitely a top concert experience!
A majority of the afternoons were spent wandering from stage to stage, with the intermittent drink and bathroom breaks. It was a pretty cool place to wander around. You get a true taste of Austin with all the weird people to look at!
And here we are... mocking the hippies that were laying under the trees and making out heavily.
Vampire Weekend was one of my other favorite shows! I'd rank them 2nd overall.
And a big thanks to my mom for watching Nico all day Fri and Sat so that we could go to his festival! He was well entertained with a trip to the pumpkin patch on Saturday...
It was a good thing that we got our partying out on Fri and Sat because the entire park turned into a lake overnight on Sat! It downpoured the entire night. Crazy. Can't wait to hopefully be a part of this event for many more years to come!
