Hey y’all, I found someone’s AirTag at ACL and at first I wanted to keep it for myself but when I realized it was connected to someone’s phone and could be returned I felt super bad.

Basically trying to return the AirTag to whomever, if you are missing one from week 1 this year please let me know, I have the serial number but unfortunately reset it without screenshotting the phone number attached to it.

Would there be any benefit to registering my 13 year old? I’m not sure what tag a kid is for ???

Just announced for Coachella. They did a limited US tour last year - a few shows in the midwest and a week in LA.

Maybe not the headliner but a contender for sure, their tour ends in September and they are only playing Houston and Fort Worth

They’re playing Moody Center in April and have October wide open.

1 Texas date, ends in September

About how far in advance do the tickets go on sale ???

How long (how many songs) do headline acts preform at Tecate Pa’l Norte in Mexico?

What was the song that benson boone made us practice a melody to sing - not pretty slowly!

Do y’all remember/have footage of the song/practice?

Can’t find Jungle at weekend 1 on YouTube anymore - anyone have a link?

Has anyone ever gotten a damaged poster replaced? We emailed ACL and they said to contact Front Gate since we ordered it there with our tickets and they say no we have to do ACL because the store fulfills it. Then we do the store again and they say ok finally and ask if we want a refund or to send back ours and get a new one, we said we are find sending it back for a new one. Then nada with a shipping label. So we email again, get a diff person who asks the whole thing over - again tells to do live nation and we say we already did that, they said we still have to so we do, then they say no we have to go back to ACL and they finally say they don’t know and will escalate.

This can’t be this difficult. wtf.

I thought the guess of Saturday night live was a good one, but didn't turn out to be true. Did anyone figure out the reason?

So I connected my wristband to use cashless at the festival, but I haven't seen anything about how they deactivate it? I haven't been able to verify that my card isn't still in a system somewhere. Does anyone know how it works?

Did anyone happen to snag or write down Chris Stapleton and Orville Peck’s set lists for ACLFest Weekend 2, October 11 & 13 respectively? I was there but was enjoying the shows too much to try and write the set list down and I like to make concert playlists after the fact. I’ve been checking setlist.fm and W2 hasn’t had any updates and I know they were different than W1. TIA!!

Does anyone how tips are handled in ACL’s system? My friends and I keep coming back to how tipping did or did not work at ACL this year. One day, one of us spent about $400 in the merchandise tent and when they got to the checkout, they felt too rushed to think critically about the preset tip of 15% (roughly $30). They spent less than a minute with the cashier, who doesn’t scan the merchandise because the system does this automatically now, but left a $30 tip. At that rate, if the money went to the cashier, they could make $2000 per hour. That’s an extreme case, but where we saw where tips could be accumulated very quickly. Every time we bought food or drinks, we left a tip on the machine. These folks may be more “deserving” (a team of people to make and serve the food which takes times and effort in a hot place that’s not air conditioned). We assume they work for the specific food vendor and not “ACL”. Of course they may never see any of this money? Since all payment goes through a central system, it’s possible the tips never even make it to the vendors. Do tips make it the vendor? Do vendors then decide how to parcel out the tips? We’re very curious about this.

Shoutout to the real MVP of the weekend, the CLOUDS! First festival and it was vibes all W1!

These are very special to me. 🥰 I call them my ‘Trophies.’

They’re on the top shelf in my office, backdropped by my totem that I made for ACL in 2021. 🤘🏼
