Win VIP access to the Austin City Limits Music Festival

Austin City Limits - VIPNot a lot of bluegrass content here, but if you are a fan of the Alison Krauss/Robert Plant combo and would like to see them live, here’s your chance.

The Austin City Limits Music Festival is taking place September 26-28. The only bluegrass related acts I saw on the bill where the Krauss-Plant show and The Sparrow Quartet with Abigail Washburn and Bela Fleck.

If you’d like to go, you could attend in style. YallWire.com, and it’s network affiliates, is giving away two VIP tickets to the festival. VIP treatment includes access to the VIP lounge with air-conditioned bathrooms, free lunch and dinner buffets, free drinks (water, beer, wine), and more.

To enter the contest you have to register with blastro.com (YallWire’s parent company), and leave a comment telling them why you should be the lucky winner. There are currently less than 250 entries, so the odds are pretty good. The winner will be chosen by the end of this week though, so hurry.

YallWire.com features free music videos from bluegrass, country, and Christian artists.
