Austin City Limits Music Festival is held over two successive weekends in Austin’s Zilker Park. This year’s first weekend took place between October 6 – 8 at the massive park in the Texas capital. ACL ’17 was the first big event to be held following the massacre at Las Vegas’s Route 91 Harvest Festival and the shocking death of musical legend Tom Petty. While ACL organizers offered refunds to ticketholders in the wake of the Las Vegas shootings, refunds were minimal according to Billboard. Petty tributes were played throughout the weekend including by Lukas Nelson & Promise Of The Real, Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Killers.
Friday’s action included sets from Nelson’s band, Ryan Adams, The Revivalists, Solange, JAY-Z and many others. Saturday saw a full slate across the ACL Fest’s eight stages with performances from the Chili Peppers, Spoon, Chance The Rapper, Tove Lo and dozens more. The final day of the first weekend featured Sunday sets from The Killers, Gorillaz, Portugal. The Man, ZHU, The Head & The Heart, Run The Jewels and many additional acts. Photographer John Croxton was on hand to capture the action. Check out John’s photos followed by links to a number of pro-shot videos:
