ACL Fest 2025 has arrived. The first Friday of the two-weekend festival returned the usual Zilker Park suspects – heavy dust, Cage the Elephant, Hozier – and introduced new players, from locals the Animeros and Briscoe to twangy slacker MJ Lenderman and country star Luke Combs. The Animeros Sway and Snap In the building heat […]

Saturday at Zilker Park, the pop girlies reigned. MARINA, Doechii, and Sabrina Carpenter – who didn’t allow photographers, but did allow Shania Twain to join her for a rendition of “That Don’t Impress Me Much” – all put on crowd-pleasing performances, while returning acts the Strokes and Modest Mouse checked off the rock box for […]

Here’s what we caught before the sun set at Zilker Park. The Point Takes ACL All Over the Map The Point is […]

Thanks to new lineup additions and improved returning sets, the second Saturday at ACL 2025 felt like a distinct offering, not a rehashing of last weekend. Texan countrygaze trio Shallowater, Seattle shapeshifters Car Seat Headrest, and tenacious San Diego emos Pierce the Veil all voyaged to Zilker Park for the first time, while the Chronicle […]
If 2024 LP Rio Bravo breathed heavy with an almost existential wail, Scott Ballew’s fourth LP cracks with cathartic relief. Paradiso bakes in a late-night revel, soaking in the aura of its New Orleans recording as the songwriter stumbles through the streets – and possible loves. “Don’t close your eyes, you’ll hear what you might […]

Earlier this month the songwriters were wed in a Hill Country ceremony, with their producer and third pillar of the band, Beau Bedford, officiating. […]
