Austin City Limits Bag Policy 2021

Hey there, festival-goers! Let's grab a coffee and chat about the most important thing on your mind right now - the Austin City Limits bag policy for 2021. I mean, who wants to show up at the gates with a bag full of, well, nothing but disappointment, right?

First things first, what's allowed? ACL wants you to have a blast, but they also want to keep everyone safe. So, here's the lowdown on bags:

  • You can bring in a small bag - think a little bitty backpack or a tiny purse. We're talking no bigger than 14" x 11" x 5".
  • Clear bags are encouraged. You know, the kind that makes it look like you're carrying around a giant Ziploc bag full of who knows what. But hey, at least it's see-through, right?
  • Hydration packs are allowed, but they gotta be empty when you enter. No sneaking in a full water bladder, sorry!

Now, let's talk about what's not allowed. I know, I know, it's like we're playing the world's most boring game of Simon Says. But bear with me, it's for your own good.

  • No big ol' bags. You know, the ones that could fit a small child in them. Those are a no-no. Anything bigger than 14" x 11" x 5" is gonna have to stay at home.
  • Backpacks with frames are a big ol' no-no. You know, the ones that make you look like you're ready to tackle a mountain, not a music festival.
  • No coolers, no large purses, no bags with removable straps. You get the picture. Keep it small, keep it simple.

But wait, you say, what about my precious sunscreen? Don't worry, ACL's got you covered. You can bring in a sealed bottle of sunscreen, no bigger than 3 oz. Just make sure it's sealed, or it's gonna have to stay at home. Same goes for hand sanitizer, by the way. We all know how important that is these days.

Now, you might be thinking, what if I forget? Or, heaven forbid, you show up with a bag that's just a teensy bit too big. Don't panic! ACL has got a solution for that. They've got a bag check area where you can stash your bag for the day. It's like a lost and found for bags. Pretty nifty, huh?

And hey, while we're on the subject of things you can't bring in, let's talk about prohibited items. You know the drill - no weapons, no drones, no laser pointers. And while we're at it, no pets. I know, I know, you were planning on bringing your adorable little pup to the festival. But ACL's a no-pet zone, sorry to say. Service animals are the exception, of course. But hey, there are plenty of dog-friendly parks in Austin where you can take your furry friend for a walk, right?

So there you have it, folks! The lowdown on the Austin City Limits bag policy for 2021. Remember, the key is to keep it small and simple. And if you've got any questions, ACL's got a FAQ page that's longer than your arm. So go ahead, give it a read. And then, go forth and enjoy the festival!

And hey, if you see me there, say hi! I'll be the one with the tiny, clear bag, trying to figure out how to fit my entire life into it. See you there!
