Students Chart Career Paths Backstage at ACL Music Festival

The Austin City Limits (ACL) music festival became a once-in-a-lifetime learning experience for a group of UT Austin students interested in pursuing careers in the music industry. Thanks to President Hartzell’s Longhorn Live initiative, this premier event in the “Live Music Capital of the World” provided a glimpse into future career possibilities.

University Events and Experience invited student leaders within Campus Events+Entertainment’s Headliners Committee to see firsthand what goes into producing a festival of this scale. They enjoyed exclusive backstage access during ACL’s Weekend One and an opportunity to network with the event’s producers, C3 Presents, during ACL Up Close on Oct. 10.

“It was fascinating to see the parallels between what we are doing now and what they do at ACL. Budgets, logistics, membership, advertising — we are doing everything but on a smaller scale. This experience solidified my passion for the music industry,” said Regina Mendiola, Headliners membership officer and a sophomore public relations major from Mission, Texas.

During panel discussions, the students expanded their understanding of music industry careers, especially after hearing from women in the industry. They met and networked with talent management, stage production, accountants, legal representatives and others. They also learned how to leverage their resume-building campus experience planning live music events after graduation.

As part of University Unions’ Campus Events+Entertainment (E+E), the Headliners Committee leads the planning for live music events open to all students. They book musical acts, promote shows and concerts and manage event operations, helping them develop skills in communication, leadership and teamwork. Their biggest event is Forty Acres Fest — an annual tradition that marked 31 years in March 2024 with 7,500 attendees.

“It’s great to see that what we are doing with Headliners is preparing us for this industry. I left feeling excited and I’m motivated to pursue internship opportunities and continue honing my skills through my involvement on campus,” Mendiola added.

The Headliners students who attended ACL also had a full circle moment watching West 22nd perform. West 22nd, the first band made up of current UT Austin students to play ACL, performed at Forty Acres Fest in 2022. Mendiola, who is also a Bevo Buddy! leader through New Student Services, plans to share this life-changing experience with the first-year students she mentors.

This ACL experience supports Longhorn Live by showcasing our students’ talent, creating new opportunities for them to interact with high-profile musicians and integrating them into Austin’s ever-growing music scene.

“Whether it’s putting on the show or playing the show, we’re helping dreams come true for our Longhorns. They are having real-world, resume-building career experiences right now that will help them land a future job after graduation,” said Jennifer Zamora, senior director of student experience at University Events and Experience.

As the hub for student life and well-being, the Division of Student Affairs encourages all students to attend an E+E event or get involved through a committee. E+E is the largest student-run event-planning organization on campus consisting of 11 committees. These students hosted 111 events during the 2023-2024 academic year with a total of 46,366 attendees.

“E+E offers something exciting for everyone — live music, theatre productions and campus events,” noted David Anthony, interim director for student programming for University Unions. “Our student committees manage and promote memorable events that educate and entertain their fellow students. E+E also provides student volunteers with experience and job skills for their future careers.”

Metal and rap celebrating their 20+ years.

Ufomammut, Reggies

Ufomammut is currently touring to celebrate their 20th anniversary as a band, where they should play songs from their entire catalog, including new versions of old favorites.

NYC doom/stoner rock/hardcore band Kings Destroy and local experimental metal band Scientist open.

Murs, Subterranean

L.A. rapper Murs has made a career out of albums with verbose, humorous, and conscious rhymes and old school production. Whether by himself or collaborating with North Carolina producer 9th Wonder, he’s always consistent in his ability to confidently tell stories and weave multiple narratives. He should have no problem doing the same thing live.

Hip hop artists Locksmith, Cojo, and Azmattic open.
