Austin City Limits History and Info

The first Austin City Limits Festival kicked off in 2002, with a total of 67 performers performing across five stages in Zilker Park over a single weekend. Terry Lickona, the producer of the KLRU/PBS television music series “Austin City Limits,” wanted a festival that was all about the city of Austin and about experiencing quality music while having a good time.


Among the festival’s first music acts were Asleep At the Wheel and The String Cheese Incident. The first festival generated a crowd of about 40,000, which was about 20,000 more people than the organizers expected.


Austin City Limits Festival went through several changes in 2013 after 11 years in operation. The event organizers changed the dates of the festival to occur in October and expanded it to the two-weekend format that we know today. That year featured massive names in the music world, including the Foo Fighters, The Cure, Billie Eilish, and more.


The success of this festival makes sense — after all, it’s produced by C3 Presents, the same company that puts together Lollapalooza.


The festival maintained its success and grew to a whopping 75,000 people per day across its two weekends. These days, the festival includes a number of amenities for its attendees, both VIP and GA tickets, including a number of great grub options in the food court.


From vegan to hot dogs, you’ll be able to find something for you, which is a far cry from the inaugural festival that only had a few options. The festival also has additional offerings for VIP ticket holders.

Parking and Transportation

Parking and transportation is probably the least exciting thing about attending a festival or concert other than waiting in long lines. Skip the frustration and, hopefully, the traffic by planning ahead. Ridesharing to big events is always a great option because it affords you the freedom to immediately get into the action without having to fight for parking.


For the Austin City Limits Music Festival, you won’t find available parking close to Zilker Park or its surrounding neighborhoods. There are a few available, accessible parking spaces that can’t be reserved and are first come, first served.


However, ACL Live has its own shuttle, which you can board at Republic Square Park at the corner of 4th and San Antonio Streets and ride all the way to the Barton Springs West Festival entrance. The shuttle makes roundtrips and starts running at noon on Fridays and 11 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.
