All eyes turn to Austin, Texas as the 2012 ACL Music Festival returns to Zilker Park October 12th - 14th! 75,000 plus music lovers will converge, on what is widely accepted as the one of the premier music festivals in the world, to experience more than a hundred bands on eight stages over three days. Historically, ACLMF has offered a diverse range of musical fare from chart-toppers to Avant-garde, local heroes to world icons, internet sensations to full-fledged rock royalty. This year is no exception, featuring The Black Keys, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Neil Young and Crazy Horse, Florence + The Machine, The Shins, Iggy & The Stooges, Gotye, Weezer, and many, many more.

It shouldn't come as a surprise that Austin has no shortage of live music. Yet each year, the influx of bands that infiltrate Zilker Park for the annual Austin City Limits fest never fails to astound. Head to our photo galleries page to see some photos of the weekend's happenings, when huge national acts grace the stage where many Austinites spend Sunday afternoons throwing a frisbee around.

As per usual, we had a wonderful time this year, ringing in the days' events with listeners and musicians at Threadgill's, including Patrick Watson, The Eastern Sea, Michael Kiwanuka, Ben Howard, LP, and more. Backstage at the fest, the fun continued, as we welconed even more of your KGSR favorites, including Old 97's, Gotye, Gary Clark Jr. and tons of others.

Be sure to stay tuned for video of those performances and interviews!

In the meantime, check out photos (here and here) from the weekend's performing artists, which include The Black Keys, Jack White, Gotye, M83, The Civil Wars, Delta Spirit, Alabama Shakes, and many many more!
