Austin City Limits Comes To A Close
Austin City Limits tried the “two weekend long” approach this year. While great in theory,
Texas weather had other plans, causing the final day to be canceled. However, Austin
residents and visitors alike salvaged Sunday by bringing the festival to living rooms and
small clubs throughout the live music capital. This year’s ACL included Depeche Mode, the
Cure, Muse, Kings of Leon, Atoms for Peace, Lionel Richie, Phoenix, Wilco, the National and
Arctic Monkeys (pictured). Get a full wrap at http://aclfestival.com.
