Austin City Limits is only a few weeks away, are you ready? We sure as hell are. This will be our first ACL Festival, so you know the excitement is real. We’ll be in the lone star state, bringing you full coverage of the festival, followed by our Austin Travel Guide. And while this is indeed a huge music festival, we’re most excited about the food. You know this! When theres acts like The Killers, Jay-Z, The XX, RHCP, Cut Copy, A$AP Ferg, and so many more — fueling up on food is crucial. Austin is known for their food, and Austin City Limits is no different. For this year’s festival, ACL is adding more EATS locations around the park. Amy’s Ice Cream, Chi’Lantro, mmmpanadas, Southside Flying Pizza, Tino’s Greek Café, and Wholly Cow Burgers will all have a second location in addition to the ACL Eats Food Court, near the south end of the park.
Food vendors of all kinds will be on hand to fulfill everyones tastebuds. Offering options for vegetarians, vegans, and also gluten-free options. The festival will welcome back a majority of the previous vendors. As well as newcomers like Shake Shack, Peli Peli, and Kebabaque, an Indian/Mediterranean fusion. If there’s one thing we’re looking forward to, it’s all the food. A mix of the city’s more popular food trucks, and hometown favorites make it a more appealing fare. With that said, we highlighted a few of the trucks/vendors we’re most looking forward to below. You can also find the entire list of vendors, of which there’ll be plenty. Most importantly, come hungry and tag us in all your ACL EATS photos on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram @hypefeast.
Lastly, vendors will be serving all day, and accept cash, debit, credit, and ACL Cashless Payments. The cashless payments is a pretty neat feature for anyone that has trouble losing their wallets at festivals. Essentially, you link your card to your wristband once you receive it, and voila! Cashless payments, quick, easy, and hassle free.
