The Austin City Limits Music Festival wouldn't exist without the fans. And whether it was a love of Sabrina Carpenter, Doechii or Luke Combs that brought them to Zilker Park, they all had their own style.

In addition to the music fans, there were also the bartenders and security guards behind the show. The people of ACL were kind, hard-working, music-loving folk.

Here's a look at the people who power Austin's $535 million music festival.

Paige Collier and LJ Mickleroy traveled from rural Texas to see their favorite artists. The couple’s matching monochromatic look shows that Texas fashion also lives outside of the big city. Shunya Carroll / KUT News
