Health and safety remain our top priority, and we will work closely with the organizers and Austin Public Health to ensure ACL Fest is in line with our health standards. We must continue to get everyone vaccinated and keep up our success.”

ACL Fest organizers are in regular communication with local health and public safety officials and will follow current recommendations and guidelines at the time of the festival. As the weekends approach, ACL Fest patrons will receive regular updates with important information regarding safety policies and procedures before entering Zilker Park. ACL Fest will partner with the City of Austin and Austin Public Health to encourage vaccination in the months prior to the festival.

“Austin City Limits 2021 is a result of successful vaccine efforts and more than a year’s worth of protection measures,” said Austin-Travis County Interim Health Authority Dr. Mark Escott. “Taking the shot is our shot at getting things back to normal and we envision this happening before October if we stay the course as a community.”

Zilker Park has been the home of the Austin City Limits Music Festival for two decades. Since 2006, ACL Festival, in partnership with Austin Parks Foundation, has generated more than $41 million towards improvements to Zilker Park and parks across the city. In 2019, through a percentage of ticket sales, fans of ACL Fest contributed $6 million to improving Austin’s public parks, trails and green spaces.

Cardi B is the swipe one, baby…

Tinder has released “10 Essential Dating Anthems” of 2020, with the 28-year-old half-Dominican American rap superstar’s chart-topping single “WAP,” featuring Megan Thee Stallion, leading the pack.

With lyrics like “certified freak, seven days a week” it’s no surprise the raunchy song takes the top spot.

Drake‘s Lil Durk collab “Laugh Now Cry Later” follows “WAP,” likely for those moments when a match seems fun at first but then reveals something creepy about themselves.

DaBaby‘s “Rockstar,” Juice WRLD‘s “Wishing Well,” Jack Harlow‘s “Whats Poppin,” Drake‘s “Toosie Slide” and Megan Thee Stallion’s “Savage Remix” featuring Beyoncé also make the list, touching on the emotional rollercoaster that is the dating scene.

Here’s the full list of Tinder’s 2020 dating anthems:
