YOU MUST BE ON ASSIGNMENT TO COVER AUSTIN CITY LIMITS MUSIC FESTIVAL.

You must be covering the overall festival. (For example, a magazine is doing a feature on the bands performing Austin City Limits Music Festival for the September issue.)

If your intention is to come to the festival to do a story on only one artist and not the festival, you need to be credentialed through that artist. You will need to make your own arrangements to meet the band once you are onsite. If you are not credentialed through the festival, you will not have access to the media area. We will not credential media for assignments that do not include the festival as a whole.
