Oh, for fuck's sake! Free tailgates? UT must be rolling in dough or just loves watching us peasants get shitfaced. Midland and West 22nd? Wow, they really pulled out the big guns. Can't wait to see the drunken shitshow this turns into. Mom's basement is gonna be empty that day, folks!

Oh geez, buckle up, y'all! Aug. 31st, Longhorn City Limits is gonna be a real hoot—Midland's headlining, and we gotta suffer through some hipster nonsense from West 22nd. No doubt their "indie rock" is as pleasant as nails on a chalkboard. Don't know about you, but I can't wait to miserably sip my mom's basement-brewed ale while I pretend to enjoy this dumpster fire of an evening. Yeehaw!

Stuck in Your Mom's Basement with Nothing to Do? Longhorn City Limits to the "Rescue"

Oh, joy! Another semester trapped in your overpriced student housing? Fret not, for Longhorn City Limits is here to shove a big ol' dose of burnt orange down your throats, courtesy of Still Austin Whiskey Co. Because nothing says "beat the homesick blues" like day-drinking and mediocre music.

Midland and West 22nd to Inflict Live Tunes on Unsuspecting Students

Brace yourselves, folks! Season six of Longhorn City Limits is being headlined by country music trio Midland, with an opening set from rising indie rock band West 22nd. Music starts at the ungodly hour of 11 a.m. at the LBJ lawn with five-piece West 22nd. They formed in UT's West Campus a mere two years ago and are already performing at ACL. Meanwhile, Midland, hailing from Dripping Springs, earned a Grammy-nomination for their debut album "On the Rocks." Their third album, "Barley Blue," is set to release on Sep. 20. Be still, my beating heart.

Drinks and Eats to Make You Forget You're Broke

Students who are legally allowed to drown their sorrows can do so with signature drinks at the Still Austin Music Lounge. Try the Horns Up Bourbon Lemonade and get your hands on some limited-edition swag. Tito’s Tailgate is also back, hawking their cocktails in front of the LBJ fountain. And because nothing says "tailgate" like overpriced meat, Pinkerton’s BBQ will be serving up smoked delights on the lawn every game day.
