ACL MAESTRAS MEET THREE OF THE WOMEN AT C3 PRESENTS WHO HAVE ORCHESTRATED SOME MAJOR CHANGES FOR ACL MUSIC FESTIVAL'S 15TH ANNIVERSARY BY KATHY BLACKWELL PHOTOGRAPHY BY CAMBRIA HARKEY For its 15th anniversary, expect some big changes at the Austin City Limits Music Festival— a markedly different layout, more shade, and new surprises throughout Zilker Park, which will see more than 75,000 people each day over two weekends this fall. To find out more about what to expect, Austin Way caught up with three top women at Austin- based C3 Presents—which also produces Lollapalooza and other big events—who know how to get things done. BEHIND THE LINEUP: AMY CORBIN Role: C3's senior promoter, Corbin oversees the concert division and books all the talent for ACL, a rollercoaster of a job—and one that she's done since the fest's beginning. "It was a nail-biter to the end," she says of this year's lineup, with headliners like Radiohead, Kendrick Lamar, and LCD Soundsystem, but the record sellouts of both weekends validated those sleepless nights. This Year's Highlights: Corbin says the diverse lineup has something for everyone, and she predicts a memorable closing set from Mumford & Sons both Sundays.
