Celebrity appearances, late-night afterparties, increased travel times – the season has arrived. Hozier, Sabrina Carpenter, and the Killers headline the ol’ quintessential genre-spanning music festival, plus performances by Luke Combs, T-Pain, the Strokes, Doechii, and John Summit. Friday welcomes alt-rock radio icons Empire of the Sun and Cage the Elephant, Modest Mouse and the Backseat Lovers perform Saturday, and nostalgic electronic outfits Phantogram and Passion Pit light up Sunday night. This lengthy lineup is a choose-your-own-adventure story. Whether you want to groove, bop, two-step, or mosh, or all of the above, the foot-worn dust of Zilker Park beckons. – Caroline Drew
