A new look for 2024!

User reviews

This app is such a waste

The ACL app could be super useful and great, and it needs to do so little… give me ONE sample of music for each band, give me a summary of who they are, tell me when they’re playing and where, let me build a usable playlist, give me an easy map of the grounds and resources. It does NONE of those things well after YEARS of effort.

Don’t make festival map require internet

Cell service is unreliable in extremely large crowds. The map needs internet to load. This made it impossible to look at the map during peak festival times

Never updated with enough time prior to the fest

This app could be decent (and it once was), but nowadays the app is never updated far enough in advance of the festival to be useful and they no longer provide any insight into the style of the artist’s music. This app lost its mojo a number of years ago…

Apple Music & Spotify Playlists

App is okay, but it would be great if it could provide playlists for Apple Music and Spotify so it could help me choose artists I would like to see.

Finally updated with this years lineup… but could be better

They finally updated the app with this years lineup. Thank you.
But I wished they would include links to each artist bio and top songs so you can get a better idea which new artist you want to see since multiple play at the same times.
