History of Austin City Limits

There were only 5 stages, featuring a total of 67 bands and the festival only lasted for 2 days. Less than 50,000 people attended the original event even though turnout was expected to be much more. As the years have gone by, the festival has grown in popularity, has become more dynamic and draws in huge crowds and even bigger musical artists.

What it is Today

Held in Zilker Park, this music festival now lasts for two consecutive 3 day weekends. There are eight different stages holding prominent musical acts from genres spanning from folk, electronic and hip hop to indie, country and rock. The famous musical performers tend to draw in large crowds of about 100,000 each year. While the music is the main event, the festival has spread out to include other interesting aspects including the Austin Eats food court, a Mecca for foodies looking to taste all of Austin’s flavors. There are organizations set up to help attendees join volunteer initiatives and also an art market that gives artists the chance to present their works as well as festival goers the opportunity to buy some hand crafted and interesting souvenirs.
