There's another key lineup to note at ACL: the stacked list of local food vendors.
State of play: Don't expect ballpark hot dogs and nachos.
The festival's food court shines each year, showcasing local restaurants and all that Austin has to offer.
Dig in: A dozen new vendors will be at the fest, per organizers, including BBG's, CM Smokehouse, Gus' World Famous Fried Chicken, La Taquicardia, T-Loc's Sonora Hot Dogs and The Wurst Place, all located at ACL Eats.
Noteworthy: Don't miss a brand-new food court, La Pachanga eatery, curated by the Taco Mafia crew.
The new spot will feature standouts including Con Todo, Norte ATX, Discada, Veracruz All Natural and Cuantas Hamburguesas.
Find the eatery near the IHG Stage.
Plus: The former beer hall is now called The Big Tent, with a lineup of canned craft beers, kegged cocktails and Bambino pizza.
