The drone show at Austin’s flagship music festival was eclipsed only by…well, the Ring of Fire eclipse that took place the Saturday of the second weekend. The two weekends of music, food and great weather filled people’s cups and kept them excited for what’s become an annual tradition at Zilker Park for tens of thousands of Austinites – and the thousands more who travel to the Capital City to enjoy it. There were many highlights in addition to the drone show. A short list includes sets from legends the Foo Fighters and Alanis Morissette, great sets from Austin rising star Calder Allen and our own, University of Texas Minister of Culture Matthew McConaughey joining his Dallas Buyer’s Club co-star Jared Leto on stage during Jared’s energizing performance as frontman for 30 Seconds To Mars – that began with him literally flying onto the stage. And of course, the Austin Eats – from sweets like Tiff’s Treats, GoodPop and Tiny Pies to savory selections from Nervous Charlie’s, Cauntos Tacos, Chi’Lantro and more to refreshing and healthy options from Juiceland and Blender & Bowls, everyone left ACL satiated.
