ACL Festival 2024 has come and gone, but we’re holding on to the memories. Here are three moments from weekend two that we’ll be thinking about for the foreseeable future.
1. Willie Nelson surprised fans (twice)
Willie Nelson stunned festivalgoers with cameo performances not once, but twice. He kicked off Chris Stapleton’s headlining set on Friday with “Whiskey River” and “Bloody Mary Morning” before joining Orville Peck on Sunday to sing “Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond of Each Other.”
2. Dua Lipa loves the Longhorns
This moment is now burnt in our memory. The international pop star celebrated UT Austin’s win over Oklahoma on Saturday by wearing a custom Texas Longhorns jersey.
3. “Chappell being Chappell”
Chappell Roan’s last concert of the year was nothing short of electric. She was vibing with the crowd — but not with the red filter on the stage’s screens — which a fan caught on video.
