   The official ACL Fest Nights late night shows run alongside both festival weekends, October 2 to 4 and October 9 to 11, with sets generally starting around 10:00 PM or 11:00 PM. Stubb's Bar-B-Q at 801 Red River Street is the one I watch. Artists off the festival lineup play full length dedicated shows indoors and out, which beats catching 45 minutes in a field.

   Termidor SC is the only real barrier. PM me for spray schedules.

   Full length sets in a room with a real PA is a different experience than the same act on a park stage. This is how you should see half that lineup.

   Tip your sound guy.

   And you skip the Zilker exit crush entirely. Red River is easy to get out of late.

   The express lane is a toll on your patience too.

   Do these sell out fast when the single tickets drop?

   Here to Help, Here to Save. Check aisle 4!

   The good ones move quickly, so watch the aftershows hub for releases rather than waiting for a general announcement.

   Tip your sound guy.

   A 10:00 PM or 11:00 PM start after a full festival day is the catch. Pick one night, not all six.
