Austin City Limits kicked off its second day to a larger crowd than the day before. This is what you missed.  Conan Gray Conan Gray was the first artist that really drew me in at the start of day two. The moody California pop star was actually raised in a small Texas town. Austin may as well be a home away from...

Austin City Limits kicked off on Friday morning to a healthy crowd.  The iconic Austin staple is back in full swing following COVID-19. However, the lineup is notably not as jaw-dropping as it has been in years prior, according to online discourse (and personal opinion). However, this is not to say that Austin City...

A review of what you missed on day 1

The weekend cold front that hit Texas brought Friday morning rain upon the city of Austin. For Austin City Limit attendees, the rain could either make or break their weekend at the festival.

Only 15 years after its inception, the festival has grown into one of the nation’s most-anticipated music showcases and now spans two weekends, with eight stages and 140 artists. Headlining this year’s Austin City Limits is Jay-Z, the Red Hot Chili...

The opener of this year’s SXSW Film Festival was one of the hardest ones to get tickets for. Some people waited in line for up to seven hours without success, but little did they know that they didn’t miss a thing; ‘Song to Song’ featuring Michael Fassbender, Rooney Mara, Ryan Gosling, Natalie Portman and Cate...

When it was announced that Borgore would not appear at Stereo Live, I was sure that turnout would be pretty sparse. Stereo Live, apparently, was afraid of this same conclusion: Ticket prices plummeted and landed on “free.” As I approached the venue, it looked as though the offering had done the trick.
