Every year some of the best artists in the world get together and put on a weekend full of great music, food, and fun, the Austin City Limits Music Festival. There was something for everyone, from Coldplay to Kanye West to Stevie Wonder. But many people questioned whether or not there were very many good small bands this year. The bands were not all very well known but it was still easy to find a way to fill your day with different bands. People flocked to Fleet Foxes, Cee Lo, and so many other bands. But the main thing that people worried about was Kanye West or Coldplay. For diehard fans the choice was obvious, but for others it was a race from one stage to the next. “I’ve never seen so many people sing along to a contemporary band before,” Austinite Allen Halbrook said about the Coldplay concert. LASA Freshman Elena Cole said “The Kanye West concert was very loud, the vibrations of the bass could be felt throughout the crowd. It made me want to throw up. But it got better towards the end. It was actually pretty fun.” But all in all the festival was a success. No matter what band(s) you went to go see you were almost guaranteed a good time.

I read this blog because I went to ACL and I agree. I knew only a couple bands and it made me mad the Coldplay and Kanye were at the same time! I thought it was really fun though this year and I met a lot of new bands!
