Best Outdoor Event

Austin City Limits Music Festival

You refuse to be sidetracked by the heat. Austin’s ACL Fest manages to combine hippies, indie rockers, and KGeezers in a conglomerate of summer love. We just put the fifth edition to bed, and rumors are already flying for 2007: Radiohead, anyone? What other festival notches Tom Petty, Coldplay, the Pixies, and Wilco on its bedpost? Well, we’re better.
