Austin City Limits Festival 2014 hit Zilker Park in Austin, TX for the second weekend in a row this past weekend. I was able to hit the festival Friday with camera in hand. Check out some of my photos of CHVRCHES, Childish Gambino, St. Vincent, and Outkast below.
Red Bull TV to Stream Select Austin City Limits Sets This Weekend
Much like Lollapalooza this summer, Austin City Limits will be streaming select artists via Red Bull TV this upcoming weekend. Some of the featured artists include Beck, Childish Gambino, CHVRCHES, Skrillex, Broken Bells, Interpol, Lorde, Calvin Harris, and more. It'll be like reliving Lollapalooza all over again! Be sure to check out the ACL livestream starting this Friday; we'll have photos and coverage from the festival next week. Below is the full livestream schedule, as well as an ACL livestream video teaser. Enjoy.

Austin City Limits' First Weekend is This Weekend
While major music festivals in Chicago have come to an end for the year, Austin's still keeping things going with Austin City Limits taking place this weekend and next weekend. The multi-genre festival features some of music's top artists and bands performing over nine different stages. Considering it takes place over two weekends, you can only imagine how amazing ACL is going to be this year. Artists like OutKast, Eminem, Skrillex, Lana Del Rey, Childish Gambino, CHVRCHES, Iggy Azalea, The Replacements, and more will share the stages with dozens other bands and artists.
We'll have coverage from ACL 2014's second weekend, so keep your eyes peeled for our recap in a couple of weeks. 3-Day passes for each weekend are still available for purchase here, so if you find yourself in Austin this or next weekend jonesing for that early fall musical kick, buy your tickets now before they sell out!
Night Shows for Austin City Limits 2014 Announced
Following the Austin City Limits 2014 lineup announcement comes the announcement for the Texas-based festival's "night shows." Are you a fan of some of this year's ACL artists, but would better appreciate seeing them in an intimate venue setting rather than an outdoor festival? ACL's night shows just might be for you. Tickets for shows artists such as DIPLO, Spanish Gold, Tegan and Sara, Interpol, CHVRCHES, The Glitch Mob, and more officially go on sale this Friday at 10am CST. You can find the full list of Austin City Limits 2014 night shows here.
However, if you subscribe to the official C3Concerts.com mailing list by 10pm CST tonight, you'll be mailed a pre-sale code to purchase tickets a day early on Thursday. To join the aforementioned mailing list, simply sign up at this link. We'll have more from this year's Austin City Limits when the festival touches down in October!
Austin City Limits 2014 Schedule Released
Austin City Limits 2014 has joined the legion of fall festivals (like our very own Riot Fest) to reveal their schedules for the upcoming Austin music festival. While ACL takes place over two different weekends, the schedules are pretty similar outside of a few minor differences. Unfortunately, the entire schedule isn't available on the ACL website, but exclusively through their mobile app. Luckily, the team over at Consequence of Sound have shared a partial schedule of the more prolific artists performing.

Live Nation, who organized the tour, released a statement saying D'Angelo,“expresses his sincere regret due to this unfortunate circumstance.” Concerts last week in Maryland and New York and also dropped out of a show in Minneapolis today and San Diego on the tenth. He is, however, still scheduled for Outside Lands on the ninth which is interesting. . .
