AUSTIN, Texas – The 2024 edition of the ACL is officially in the books and ends Sunday evening at Zilker Park. It will be remembered for its achievements but also for its extreme heat.

Temperatures were in the mid to upper 90s over the two weekends, reaching over 100 degrees on Sunday. Both Texans and non-residents agreed that ACL was a hot year this year.

“It's very crowded and very warm, but it's definitely a great time. The atmosphere is great,” said Ana Schuch.

Schuch is one of many who enjoyed the final day of the ACL. She traveled from California to enjoy the festival with friends.

“It's great to have a lot of friends around you, but yeah, it was really great,” she said.

Gwendolyn Beach traveled from Houston to enjoy the festival weekend.

“The lineup is pretty good. I'm excited for Tyler (The Creator). “Dua Lipa was really fun on Saturday night,” Beach said.

But one thing is on everyone's lips: the heat.

“I didn’t expect it to be so hot,” said Schuch.

Beach handled the heat in a unique way.

“I had like a bandana and it felt really good to put water on it around my neck,” she said.

Clint Patrick and his fiancée Alison Brown came from Vancouver, Canada, Brown said the heat in Austin was a whole new realm.

“It's hot, we're certainly not used to it, but it's a nice treat, especially where we come from it rains,” Brown said.

Patrick says they won't let the heat ruin their weekend.

“It’s great and it’s a different experience for us, a different culture,” he said.

Many people carried refillable water bottles to the festival on Sunday and numerous drinking stations were set up around the site. Austin-Travis County EMS encouraged people to stay hydrated, and festival-goers heeded that advice.

“I just always have water. That's it. For me it wasn’t too much of a problem,” Beach said.

Even if temperatures reach 100 degrees on Sunday, Brown and others say they are interested in returning to Austin for ACL in 2025.

“Now that we’re here and have experienced this, it’s going to be hard for me not to miss it,” Brown said.

Schuch says Austin is “such a fun city. The atmosphere is great.”

CBS Austin reached out to Austin public safety officials to inquire about the number of heat-related illnesses ATCEMS responded to this weekend. At the time of this article, they did not have this information.
