Weekend 1 Sellout

Hi!

genuinely, curious since I saw a bit of discourse about this before tickets went on sale. At the time I saw a few posts saying that weekend one usually sells out within a few hours. Anyone have any idea when weekend one will/if sell out?

Which tickets are best

For acl fest is it actually worth looking into GA+ or even VIP tickets or are the regular GA tickets good enough??

I want to be one of the first people in the gates on friday, how early to I need to go?

Title says it all. I would really like to get into the festival within the first hundred people or so and I'm curious how early I need to go to make sure this happens? Has anyone done this here?

Edit: Helped. Mods can close this if they want.

Newbie Question

Do the headliners usually play both weekends at ACL? I’m specifically asking about blink-182. Will they play both weekends, or is that TBD?

I put together a *rough* web app to explore the 2024 lineup more easily. Check it out!

https://bushrow.github.io/acl_lineup_explorer

The site lets you see who's playing which weekend and links to the top tracks on Spotify for each artist.

Repo: https://github.com/bushrow/acl_lineup_explorer

I tried rebuilding it with React but ended up messing up the mobile version.

Disclaimer: I am not a front-end guy. If you're interested, I'm open to anyone collaborating on or forking this!

Artist at ACL

This might be a dumb question but do headliners play both weekends? This is my first time considering going to ACL. So I want to know if headliners only play one weekend or they play both? Thank you in advance!!

Artists interact w/ VIP?

Was lucky to receive a VIP pass to ACL this year, but I’ve only done GA in the past and admittedly love the feeling of being close to the artist and able to interact.

I’d be crazy enough to lug my Orville Peck LP around all day to get it signed by him for example. I’ve seen him be all about that for GA at past performances.

Anyway just wondering if being in that area lessens the opportunity at all. Thanks and see some of y’all there!

Why is the poster $190?

First time going to ACL, wondering what makes this so special besides the numbering? Who is on the poster and is it signed by all the headliners or who is it signed by?

Why does ACL sell mystery tickets?

How on earth do they get away with not even releasing which dates any band will be playing when tickets initially go on sale? Am I missing something?

Waitlist

Hello all. I have been on the ACL ticket waitlist for about a month now. I am curious as to how the waitlist works now that there are tickets available. Is it worth staying on (tickets are about $70 cheaper) or should I buy the tickets that were just released? Thank you!

weekend 2 sellout?

hey all - planning to head to ACL for the first time this year and planning on going to W2. super excited! i'm sure this has been asked a million times already, but haven't found anything as recent as last year. does anyone know how quickly three day passes sellout, especially for W2? I saw that it's usually closer to the event that it sells out, but this lineup is great (IMO) so i'm wondering when is too late to start buying tickets. trying to get a solid friend group to go, which has been the reason i haven't bought the tickets yet.

Love me some guitar rockers

Alright, folks, confession time: I'm about as up-to-date with new music as a dial-up internet connection. So, who are the rock bands (or whatever you wanna call 'em) that I absolutely cannot miss in this lineup? ACL's my annual musical safari (year 19 this year) where I stumble upon all sorts of sonic gems. So, hit me with the high-energy, up beat acts that'll have me dancing like a dad at a wedding! Yes I'm that old.

Thanks y'all! This has turned into quite a good playlist.

Any EDM I should be on the lookout for?

First time attending ACL and going weekend 1. Is there any smaller names I should be on the lookout for EDM-wise? I know the big ones like Pretty Lights, Dom Dolla, Porter Robinson, and San Holo. I was also wondering if there was any techno on the lineup anywhere?

One Day Tickets?

I’ve always heard of this festival, but never had the funds to make the trip from the east coast, so this will be my first year going! I was wondering if one day tickets will be available soon, or if they drop later on in the summer. I checked the websites page ( https://support.aclfestival.com/hc/en-us/articles/6185570405012-Will-single-day-tickets-be-available ) and there’s no info. Hoping someone here knows something or can give me advice on when to keep an eye out!

Who's moshable in this lineup?

I love the chiller artists in this lineup like The Marías and Caamp, but I need to get thrown around in a pit at least once per day.

I know Tyler, Vince Staples, and That Mexican OT will have mosh pits, is there anyone else in this lineup that I'm missing that puts out hype music?

2023 poster for sale?

The 2024 lineup dropping reminded me that I never got around to buying a 2023 poster and it looks like they’re sold out on ACL’s online store. I’d rather buy an authentic version sold by the fest than an eBay/etsy reprint — is anyone looking to sell theirs/an extra they bought? Let me know!

Shipping wristband to Canada costs $43USD! 😢

43$ usd to ship a wristband??? What is this 1980? This benefits nobody and i get to taste my first sour grapes already.

I really intend to have an amazing chill time, but I am dreading blatant gouging on costs for everything... starting with 43$USD to ship a few bracelets.

I expect overpriced food and drinks, but there's got to be some limits.

Lineup Additions

What are the odds any artist is added to the lineup? If possible, any ideas who could possibly be added?

First time going to ACL.

Quick question - is it worth getting GA+ instead of GA for a 400$ difference? I’ve been to Ultra Miami and I had gotten the GA+ equivalent and felt it was worth. Less lines for washrooms and bar.

How’s ACL?
