The 2016 Austin City Limits Music Festival was a whirlwind. It’s almost too much to put into words. So, if a picture is worth 1000 words, here’s our million-word recap of the ACL that 2016 provided! Complete with the headliners we all needed and clamored for (“Give us Radiohead!” Austin begged. And ACL delivered.) to the mid-lineup stars-to-be that fuel the Live Music Capital of the World (Raury just demolished our expectations and St. Paul & The Broken Bones took us to church), this is how we did ACL!
