As the summer comes to a close, festival season arises. The second weekend of Austin’s biggest music festival, Austin City Limits, is this weekend Oct. 9 to Oct. 11 with headliners such as Drake, Florence + Machine, Foo Fighters and The Weeknd. If you are heading out to Zilker Park this weekend, we’ve made a list of all the essentials you will need.

“I always hide power bars in my clothes. The food and water are so expensive,” senior Emily Effren said. “Also don’t wear heels and bring oil blotters for when you start to feel extra gross.”

 

ACL Essentials:

  • ACL wristband
  • empty reusable water bottle
  • non-aerosol sunscreen
