ACL Weekend Two Brings Sun: Your 5 Session Detox Plan in Austin
Quick answer: ACL Weekend Two looks warm and much drier than the muddy first weekend, so plan for sun and heat; the ACL Detox pack at Sweatland on South Lamar gives you 5 infrared sauna or full body red light sessions for $125 to use before and after the festival.
From mud boots to sunscreen
Weekend One tested everyone. Rain, mud, and late gates. This week looks completely different.
Austin is sunny and warm, with highs near the upper 80s and cool mornings. The early outlook for Weekend Two, Friday October 9 through Sunday October 11, is a much drier one. That means less slipping and more sun, heat, and miles on your feet at Zilker Park.
Sun brings its own kind of tired. Long days outside, late sets, and not enough water can leave you drained by Monday. A simple plan helps.
Your 5 session ACL Detox plan
The ACL Detox pack is 5 sessions for $125. Mix infrared sauna and full body red light therapy any way you like. Here is one easy way to split it.
Tuesday or Wednesday: a 45 minute Cabana session, our walk in, full spectrum infrared sauna. Ease out the leftover Weekend One soreness.
Thursday: 20 minutes of full body red light therapy. No heat and no sweat, so it fits before work or at lunch.
Friday morning before the gates: skip the sauna and save your fluids for the festival. Drink water and head to Zilker rested.
Monday after Weekend Two: a 30 minute Infrared Sauna Suite session, lying down, once you have rehydrated.
Tuesday or Wednesday: one more round of red light to close out festival season.
Hydration comes first
The CDC advises drinking water before you feel thirsty when you are out in the heat, and skipping alcohol and very sugary drinks for hydration. At the festival, sip often rather than chugging a lot at once. Do the same around every sauna session.
Only have time for a sampler?
The ACL Recovery Trio is $75 for one infrared sauna, one full body red light, and one Reset Room session.
A few safety notes
Never use the sauna on a day you have been drinking, if you feel dizzy, or right after a long day in the sun before you have rehydrated. Check with your doctor first if you are pregnant, have a heart condition, use a pacemaker or other implanted device, or take medication that affects heat tolerance. Our sessions support relaxation and recovery; they do not diagnose, treat, or cure any condition.
