Hit Austin City Limits without leaving North Texas

by Sarah Crisman

Austin City Limits: Herding hipsters into a park since 2002.

Don't have time to let Austin City Limits hijack your life for three days? "Reality" getting in your way? You may still have to hold down a day job, but that doesn't mean you have to miss out on the music. Our snug locale here in North Texas makes DFW a great spot for bands to stop off en route to Austin's massive music festivals.

We're hosting more than 20 acts, fresh off the ACL line-up in 12 of your favorite Dallas, Fort Worth, and Denton venues. They're spaced out over more than just three days, so you'll have time to sleep between shows (not something that will happen at actual music festival).
