BELIEVE: Brené Brown at ACL Fest! Talking with Brett 'Roy Kent' Goldstein!

Need a little time away from the tunes at Austin City Limits Music Festival? Slip into the shady grove behind the T-Mobile stage to catch some programming on the Bonus Tracks stage. Fest organizers describe the stage as a  "hub of culture and connection – a space for positive vibes between live music performances."

This year's marquee performer is renowned speaker, best-selling author, podcast host and Texan Brené Brown. Brown will tape an episode of her 'Unlocking Us' podcast featuring a conversation with actor/writer/podcaster Brett Goldstein on the second Saturday of the festival. Goldstein just won an Emmy for his performance as Roy Kent in the hit Apple+ series "Ted Lasso."

The stage will also feature a "Best of Austin Drag" show curated by Lousianna Purchase, choreography workshops with flamboyant festival crashers Bob's Dance Shop, fitness classes and live podcasts from KUTX.
