And that's a wrap on our coverage of the 2018 Austin City Limits Music Festival. It was a wonderful weekend, despite the extremely warm temperatures. The acts sounded awesome and the fans had a great time soaking in all Austin has to offer. Thanks to C3 Presents for hosting another successful event here in the "Live Music Capital of The World," Austin, Texas. And thanks to the Austin American Statesman / Austin 360.com for allowing Limelight Imaging to help capture some of the excitement of the festival.
