Festival Review: Austin City Limits 2022

This year at Austin City Limits Music Festival seemed more country than previous years. Zilker park was flooded with festival goers who were ecstatic to see their favorite artists perform live.

This year was headlined by the funk rockers the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Texas’ own The Chicks and Kacey Musgraves, pop superstar P!NK, and Lil Nas X. ACL also saw the return of one of the greatest pop punk rock bands of the 2000s, Paramore.

One thing that we love about ACL is the supporting acts that make the festival worth going aside from just the headliners. We enjoyed seeing Diplo who wore a Buc-ees pajama onesie during his set, Japanese Breakfast who always puts on a great show when we see her perform live, as well as Noah Cyrus, Conan Gray, Wallows and Omar Apollo.

Paramore was probably our favorite from the weekend since they got the band back together again and performed so many of their greatest hits and brought the nostalgia to Zilker park as more than 10,000 fans sang together. Seeing them back together after so many years away is definitely one of the all time moments to happen at ACL music festival. We’re excited for the years to come to see who will be on the lineups in the future and if any bands come back together to play ACL.
