    After a few early switcheroos – namely, the last-minute dropout of Kali Uchis from both weekends and major delays to Kendrick Lamar’s set – the first weekend of ACL Fest rolled on. Biggest takeaway? The rare instance of pleasant fall weather. Check out the Chronicle photographers’ shots of visiting acts like Foo Fighters, Alanis Morissette, Shania Twain, and more in this gallery. Most will return to Zilker Park this Friday through Sunday. Read up on the Chronicle team’s standout performances, and find all of our ACL coverage, at austinchronicle.com/acl.
