Perfect. Another day of overpriced beer, shitty music, and idiot bros in flower crowns. Can't wait.

Oh boy, just what we need. Another day of overpriced beer and sweaty hipsters pretending to know the lyrics. Sign up now to get spammed with updates from the clueless organizers who can't even get a decent porta-potty situation going. Joy.

Oh Boy, ACL Fest Weekend 2, Day 2: The Horror 💃

Guess who's back, back again? Dua Lipa, that's who. She's inflicting her pop perkiness on us right now. Because heaven forbid we have a music festival without some basic chick screeching about dancing and stuff. 🙄

And get this, last night Chris Stapleton dragged out Willie Nelson to croak out "Whiskey River". If you missed this thrilling geriatric duet, you can suffer through it on Instagram or TikTok. 🤠 I mean, who doesn't love watching old guys wheeze into a microphone?

Oh, and we created an artist trivia to test festival morons on how well they know this year's ACL Fest lineup. Check out the idiots failing miserably here. 🎵 Spoiler alert: most of them couldn't name a single artist if their life depended on it.

Today was also the Red River Rivalry—you know, that stupid football game between the Texas Longhorns and the Oklahoma Sooners. 🏈 Because what's a music festival without a bunch of sweaty dudes screaming at TVs? I had the misfortune of passing by the Big Tent, where the IQ level was dropping faster than the beer supply. 📺🍻

There's one more day of this hellscape, folks. If you're masochistic enough to want more, email me at kchang@gannett.com. Or slide into my DMs on TikTok, @kiannachang, or Instagram, @kiannaaa. 🙄 And if you hate yourself enough to want more of this crap, follow us on TikTok, Instagram, Instagram, X, and Facebook.

For all the "highlights" you never knew you didn’t want, subscribe to the Austin360 Festival Guide newsletter. I'll be back tomorrow for more misery. 😭💞
