The Full Wrap-up of ACL Fest Weekend 2 2026
If Weekend One was ACL’s infamous mudfest, Weekend Two was a different beast altogether. The rain-soaked grounds gave way to dry, dusty paths, warmer afternoons and the kind of fall-in-Austin weather that had festivalgoers reaching for sunscreen and water instead of worrying about ruining their shoes. The dust got bad enough that festival organizers were handing out bandanas at the entrance gates every day, giving fans a simple way to cover their faces as they moved around Zilker Park. They also kept people hydrated by handing out water throughout the day, a welcome move when you’re spending hours on your feet under the Texas sun. Those efforts made a difference, even if the dust and heat remained part of the experience. With the weather no longer dominating the weekend the way it had during Weekend One, the focus could shift back to what everyone came for—the music. From Turnstile’s hardcore explosion on Friday to Lorde and RÜFÜS DU SOL on Saturday and a stacked alternative-rock finish on Sunday, Weekend Two had plenty to offer. And as always, some of the best reasons to show up early were the artists playing before the biggest crowds arrived.

Austin's "Muny" golf course could soon be city-owned
A beloved West Austin golf course long linked to potential development plans could soon be purchased and preserved by the city of Austin. Why it matters: A multiyear effort to save Lions Municipal Golf Course, known affectionately as "Muny," appears to be coming to fruition. Potential development of the course has been fiercely opposed by Tarrytown neighbors and golfers alike. Driving the news: Austin Mayor Kirk Watson, who has long advocated for the preservation of Muny, said Wednesday that he had helped broker "an excellent path forward" for the course, which is operated by the city on land owned by the University of Texas. Catch up quick: The golf course is part of a large tract given to UT to support its students and campus . That land covers an additional 190 acres on both sides of Lake Austin Boulevard that includes the H-E-B, CVS, 7-Eleven, apartments, the land occupied by the LCRA Headquarters, Oyster Landing (Mozart's, Hula Hut and other businesses) and graduate student housing. Between the lines: In 1950, Muny was the first public golf course in the South to desegregate, and it's listed in the National Register of Historic Places as a civil rights landmark. The Lions
