I'm guessing it's just temporary during festival setup to limit soil compaction around the root systems, but if they leave it that way the Chair Tribe will probably attempt to tear them down.

Counterpoint (and believe me, Mumford & Sons is anathema to me):  there is a point towards the end of The New Basement Tapes where Marcus Mumford is losing his shit because he hasn't written his required song putting lost Dylan lyrics to original music.  He stays up all night and ends up coming up with the best song of everyone there.  I was pretty impressed.

 

I love that "Kansas City" song -- it's fantastic.

Yoke Lore is a fun show.

This year, I've seen something I've never seen before as they have set up for ACL.  Almost every tree, and certainly every tree on the perimeter of the park, has been fenced off.  Thought that maybe that was just to keep the workers from damaging them during construction, but they were still in place Tuesday night.  If these are still up for the festival, that's a shitload of acreage gone, and especially shaded areas where they used to have vendors.  Very curious to see if they leave these up:

That would be equal parts shitty and stupid.

Fences will get torn down.

Saw him open for Goth Babe in 2023.  Pretty high energy.  He seems to like coming back to Austin.

Had to buy tickets for Sunday so the wife could see the Killers.  I don't think I have heard of another performer on the schedule.
After listening to a couple songs from most of the artists (I have to listen some more), these are the ones on my radar:
Lamont Landers
Tyler Ballgame or Disciples of Christ (I like the OG rap vibe)
Anderson East or Bebe Stockwell
The Dare
Rainbow Kitten Surprise or Wet Leg
Wild Rivers or Gigi Perez
Passion Pit
MK Gee
The Killers
Will set up camp between AmEx and Lady Bird and wander around for the performers on other stages.
 

Rainbow Kitten Surprise and Wet Leg are playing at same time? That sucks. I love RKS and have see them 3-4 times. Fantastic. We are seeing Wet Leg for first time in a few weeks in Dallas. Looking forward to it. Think that will be a great show. Gun to my head — I’m probably going to RKS but I don’t think there’s a wrong answer.

Still find it fascinating that Rhian went from Isle of Wight milk maid to ass kicking machine...

Who are Wet Leg? Everything you need to know about the band, their debut  album and more - Radio X

Yeah.  The sets overlap except for a 15 minute window.  I'll probably watch RKS for 30 minutes or so and then head back to AmEx and watch the end of Wet Leg's set.
