Austin City Limits Fest: Weekend Two — Because One Sunstroke Isn't Enough

Buckle up, you sweaty masses, because weekend two of the 2024 Austin City Limits Music Festival is here to remind you that misery loves company.

Will It Be Hotter Than Your Mom's Basement This Weekend?

Probably, but let's check the forecast to be sure:

Austin's Forecast for Friday:

According to the National Weather Service's forecast, Friday will be sunny with a high near 95 and a low of 65 with calm wind. Translation: You'll be a human puddle by noon.

NWS 5-Day Forecast Ahead of ACL Fest 2024 Weekend:

More of the same, because why would Mother Nature show mercy now?

Can You Bring Water Bottles to ACL Fest 2024?

Yes, and you'd be an idiot not to. October in Austin is still hotter than your last failed Tinder date, and shade is as rare as a woman who likes "nice guys." Water stations are scattered around, so bring an empty bottle and prepare to hydrate like your life depends on it (because it does).

Pro-tip: Hydration/electrolyte packets in factory-sealed single-serving packages are allowed. Trust us, you'll need them to avoid becoming a human raisin.
