The 2023 Austin City Limits Music Festival was an incredible experience that left attendees with memories to last a lifetime. From the moment the gates opened until the final note was played, the festival delivered a diverse lineup, exceptional performances, and an overall positive atmosphere. Also not to be forgotten the weather gods did manage to bless us with two amazing weekends of weather.
One of the standout features of this year's festival was the impressive lineup of artists. With a mix of well-known headliners and up-and-coming acts, there was truly something for everyone. From the high-energy performances of The Foo Fighters and ODESZA, to the mesmerizing sets of Shania Twain and Mumford and Sons, each artist brought their unique style and charisma to the stage. The lineup as it has the last couple years has flipped flopped some artist playing only a certain weekend which makes for some pretty tough decisions, luckily for us we got a chance to partake in both.

In addition to the headliners, the festival showcased a wide array of genres and musical talent. Fans of rock, hip hop, indie, and electronic music were all catered to, creating an inclusive and diverse environment. This variety allowed festival-goers to discover new artists and expand their musical horizons, enhancing the overall experience. Are only gripe was we wish they had more latin acts (especially since the fest lands right in the middle of Latin-Hispanic Heritage Month). Some more hip hop would have been a nice addition also since we are celebrating the 50th year of Hip Hop. But hey who are we to complain.
Furthermore, the festival grounds themselves were well-organized and provided ample space for attendees to explore. Multiple stages were strategically placed, ensuring minimal sound overlap and making it easy to navigate between performances. Various food vendors and beverage stations dotted the area, providing tasty options to fuel festival-goers throughout the day.

The festival organizers also prioritized sustainability and environmental consciousness, implementing eco-friendly initiatives such as recycling bins and encouraging the use of reusable water bottles. These efforts demonstrated a commitment to minimizing the festival's ecological footprint and promoting a greener future.
The overall atmosphere of the festival was one of positivity, with attendees sharing a sense of excitement and camaraderie. The friendly and patient staff helped create a safe and welcoming environment, ensuring that everyone felt comfortable and included. One of the most delightful crowds we have had a chance to be part of in the last ten years that we have covered.

Overall, the 2023 Austin City Limits Music Festival was a resounding success, combining a diverse lineup, exceptional performances, and a positive atmosphere that left attendees satisfied and eager for more. Whether you are a seasoned festival-goer or a first-timer, this festival is sure to provide an unforgettable experience that celebrates the power of music and community. See you next year Austin!
