ACL Festival is just around the bend — can you hear the music, feel the breeze, and smell the food? Here are three updates about ACL that you may have missed.

1. Several areas of the park will be powered by a hybrid battery system to reduce carbon emissions, as opposed to using biodiesel generators. Those areas include the IHG Hotels & Resorts stage, the shade tents at ACL Eats, the West Entrance, and some backstage areas.

2. The bad news: neither Tyla nor Catfish and the Bottlemen will perform this year. The good news: they’ve been replaced by four bands. Mike. and Hudson Westbrook will play both weekends, while Daniel Seavey and St. Lucia will perform weekend two.

3. La Pachanga Eatery will be found at the far south end of the park. The area was previously a miniature ACL Eats court, but will now be a haven for all things tacos.
