A weak cold front is expected to bring seasonable weather for Weekend 1 of the festival.

The current forecast for Friday calls for afternoon high temperatures in the upper 80s to lower 90s with partly cloudy conditions. We'll be monitoring the possibility of a weak cold front moving through Central Texas either late Friday or early Saturday.

This front will bring the return of seasonable temperatures with afternoon highs in the lower 90s to upper 80s on both Saturday and Sunday. Drier air behind the front will lead to pleasant evening conditions each day of the event.

There are many ways to get to the festival, but there will be no parking at Zilker Park or the surrounding neighborhoods. Pavemint has partnered with ACL Fest to help assist attendees with parking.

There are free shuttles that you can board at Republic Square Park at the corner of Fourth and San Antonio streets that will drop you off outside the Barton Springs West Festival Entrance. When you're ready to leave, you can hop back on for a return trip in the same spot. Shuttles run from Republic Square starting at noon on Friday and starting at 11 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday of each weekend.

Bike parking is available on Stratford Drive after crossing the MoPac Pedestrian Bridge. Additional bike and scooter parking will be located on Toomey Road at Sterzing Street and on Azie Morton Road. MetroBike staff will also host a MetroBike valet at their Barton Springs Road and Sterzing Street station, guaranteeing users a place to dock their MetroBike.

Capital Metro offers serval bus routes that operate frequently near Zilker Park. Check out the MetroRapid Route 803 or other options.

You can also take a rideshare to the festival. When you're getting ready to go to the fest, type "Austin City Limits Music Festival" or "Zilker Park" into the app as your destination. This will update your drop-off to the nearest drop-off point around the festival.

In order to request a ride to leave the festival, you must first exit the fest and walk away from Zilker Park to get outside of the restricted are. You will be able to request a ride as normal once you've crossed Lady Bird Lake, South Lamar Boulevard or the MoPac frontage road.

Wristband replacement is subject to verification of the order. If you need a replacement, you need to bring your wristband, order confirmation and a government-issued ID to the box office. There is a $25 wristband replacement fee.

Before the festival starts, you can register your information here and ACL will contact you if your item is turned into the lost and found during the festival. 

Once the festival is underway, you can go to the main guest services booth during festival hours, or check here to search for missing items or post an alert so the festival can contact you when your lost item arrives.

If you'd like to keep your items safe without having to tote them around, there are lockers available to rent.
