ACL 2018 WK1 was amazing! Would recommend seeing (Fri) Khalid, Odesza (Sat) Han Solo, Metallica (Sun) Rezz, Illenium, Travis Scott.

[@vibewithade]

I had a great time and saw all those same artists!!!! Top 3 for me was definitely Odesza, Illenium and Justice. Paul McCartney isn't included cause that was a moment all in itself just absolutely incredible.

Going weekend 2 this year! This year will be different than friends as I am inviting family all around as I am taking my dad (Paul McCartney), mom (Residente), sister (Lil Wayne, Travis Scott, Metallica), and brother. So, definitely taking those lounge chairs, so the parentals can camp out for us. Jajaja

[@vibewithade]

Sounds like so much fun!!! Have an awesome time :)

[@carolinestyles4005]

I’m going on friday week 1! I got vip tickets, not sure what it’ll be like since i’ve never been, but im excited for khalid and odesza!

[@vibewithade]

You'll have so much fun!!! I'll for sure be at Khalid and Odesza I'm so excited :)

[@carolinestyles4005]

Vibe with Ade it sounds really fun!! I was really confused about the schedule on the website at first, but I finally figured it out about a week ago. I saw A R I Z O N A was playing on sunday and I was bummed that I couldn’t be there to see them :/ However Odesza is just as great! I’m more of an edm fan so as long as I get to Odesza I feel like it will be really fun! I’ve watched another video over acl advice and they said the heat is bad, so I’m not sure what I’ll do about that 😂 They also said to bring a battery charger for your phone however I don’t have one so I might have to buy one!

[@alexcantu7683]

im going weekend 1 im so excited for illenium, t scott, san holo, rezz, childish, and bazzi. sadly i wont b going on friday:///

[@vibewithade]

Excited for the same artists! See you there :)

[@AddictedtoProfit]

hello thanks for the video im just down the road in San Antonio and im going this coming weekend, little sad you did not mention METALLICA, but i let you slide and i subscribed anyway 😁 I want to get to the front of the stage for Metallica but i dont want to be part of the older crowd lol

[@vibewithade]

I did see a little bit of Metallica for the sake of it but wasn't my vibe honestly so then I went to Justice haha hope you have fun!

[@gucciroseii3517]

lucky my school is literally right next to the festival and lets out early for it

[@teagoodall9241]

This is going to be my first time at a music festival ❤❤❤ I'm so nervous because I'm in a wheelchair

[@vibewithade]

You'll have fun!!! Don't stress :)

[@estrellacasias]

MF METALLICA

[@Santoy68]

Woooow she didnt even mention METALLICA!!! SMH!

[@alexxygalaxy]

Lets meet me and my boyfriend are going weekend 1 🤪🤩

[@vibewithade]

Potential meet-up details coming soon!

[@EllaJOwlElla02]

I am going this weekend and on the website it says no backpacks but I could see people wearing them in the pictures on twitter. I wasn't sure if they were strict about that kind of thing

[@vibewithade]

Yes so I think they meant like large backpacks but even then I still saw some. Security was way more chill than how ACL was marketing it. My security guard only peaked into my hydration pack. I've had way more thorough security at smaller festivals.

[@am2391]

It's my first time going to ACL 😁 how do I prepare for the rain?

[@vibewithade]

I honestly have only dealt with rain at Electric Forest and it was a quick 20 minute thing. I recommend getting a poncho since ACL doesn't allow umbrellas and wear shoes you don't care about or get cheap rain boots from Walmart!

[@tierrabowers3851]

heyy so im trying to go to acl this october and i was wondering how many artists do a show a day? example: if i were to go on a saturday would it only be cardi b performing that day? and do they have metal detectors you have to walk through ?

[@vibewithade]

hello! Here is the lineup by day: www.aclfestival.com/lineup/by-day/ each artist will be performing on that day they're listed under. So for example Cardi B will be only playing Weekend 1 and on Sunday October 6th. They didn't have metal detectors last year I think they checked your bag then either did a pat down or had a wand I can't remember but it was pretty easy getting through.

[@bryssarodriguez9907]

This is the first time me and a few friends are going... at what time would you recommend to arrive to catch a show at the front?

[@vibewithade]

Depends on who you're trying to see?! If you're trying to camp out at the front for an artist at main stage people usually start camping out when gates open at around noon.

[@dellestelle]

I'm going weekend 1 on Friday and I'll be alone, I'm so nervous 😖

[@vibewithade]

Don't be!!! You'll have so much fun!

[@jossuebarajas8550]

Same here but I m sure everyone will be very friendly

[@jazlamy2085]

You're going to both weekends?

[@vibewithade]

I'll be there Weekend 1 and Saturday of Weekend 2!

[@jazlamy2085]

Cool! We should link up

[@lll4656]

[@gldsundrp9087]

Never been and I’m 26 🤦🏾‍♀️ Research continues so i can prepare for 2020.
