The “Star Wars” theme song played around Zilker Park as gates opened on Friday for the first day of the Austin City Limits Music Festival. Early arrivers rushed in to catch the opening acts at the grounds.
Austin-based country swingers Asleep at the Wheel had a boot-scootin’ set to kick off the weekend on the Honda stage. Festivalgoers navigated a few stray mud patches caused by Thursday’s rain showers. The first few hours of the festival were rather empty, with peak entry times hitting around the mid-afternoon.

Headliner Kendrick Lamar arrived late to his 8:40 p.m. show because his plane broke down. He performed shortened versions of his biggest hits and was cut off by the sound engineers by 10:15 p.m. during “Alright.” The crowd tried their best to keep the show going by chanting, “We gon’ be alright! We gon’ be alright!”
Saturday
Some much-needed cool weather graced Zilker Park for the second day of the festival. Texas rapper BigXThaPlug bounced around the American Express stage as early mosh pits formed along the barricades. Yaya Bey unfortunately had to cancel her 1:15 p.m. set at the Miller Lite stage due to illness.
Thirty Seconds to Mars frontman Jared Leto brought the theatrics as he bungee jumped from the top of the Honda stage. He was joined by Matthew McConaughey during the closing song, “Closer to the Edge,” and several people were lucky enough to join the stage with them.
With a vibrant red wig, cosmic cowgirl Shania Twain brought a hit-packed set. Fans secured their spot for the Canadian artist seven hours before her performance at the Honda stage. As the night came to a close, Twain went across the park to join Foo Fighters at the American Express stage for a once-in-a-lifetime duet performance of “Best of You.”

With five artists performing in the 12 p.m. slot, it was a bubbling start to the last day. Matt Maltese, a U.K. singer-songwriter, gave a Lennon-like performance with poetic lyrics accompanied by a Yamaha piano. Texan Katy Kirby opened the Miller Lite stage, attracting several indie fans to the west side of the grounds.
Coming off of a two-year-long tour, Tash Sultana shredded an iconic set on the Honda stage, showcasing their incredible talent as a multi-instrumentalist.
Former One Direction member Niall Horan joked about the sun melting his Irish skin during his performance on the American Express stage. He featured “Story of My Life” during his set and covered Tears for Fears’ “Everybody Wants to Rule the World.” His fellow countryman Hozier was a standout performance as well with his timbre reverberating around the park. Hozier encouraged several sing-alongs and harmonies amongst the packed audience that stretched to the T-Mobile stage.
Electronic duo Odesza ended the weekend boasting breathtaking visuals, lasers and ground-shaking bass. Their signature drumline appeared out of a cloud of smoke on the Honda stage and drove the performance home. Mumford & Sons, who have headlined the festival three times, had the last song of the weekend with “I Will Wait” and so will we, until Friday comes again.
