Austin City Limits Approaching, Has iPhone App

Austin City Limits, the annual three-day music festival that brings thousands of people from across the globe to Austin, is back for its eighth year. With over 100 bands playing on multiple stages, the city is abuzz with talk of which bands to see.

This year, determining your schedule on the fly is easier than ever because an iPhone application for ACL has just been released. I downloaded it and played with it today (called "ACL Fest") and it is absolutely brilliant. You can view the schedule by day and/or stage, and you can select shows you want to attend to make a custom schedule. You can view a list of the bands currently playing in addition to a map of the festival grounds. If you have an iPhone, you have to download this app.

The Austin City Limits website has a list of 11 festival tips that you should be sure to read before you go!
