ACL Weekend 1 is here — and yes, those main-stage speakers hit hard. If you want to keep your ears for the years of festivals ahead, pack ear protection.
- Bring high-fidelity musician earplugs if you have them (great for hearing clarity without the volume).
- If not, basic foam earplugs from a drugstore work fine — pick some up at CVS or a convenience store before you arrive.
- If you already made it through entry, you can usually find earplugs at onsite vendors and bodegas inside the grounds.
- Keep a spare pair in your bag, and wear them near the sound booth or right in front of main stages.
- Small investment, major returns: your future festival-going self will thank you.
Short and simple — protect your hearing and enjoy the weekend. Safe listening keeps the music coming.
