For a July afternoon set at Austin City Limits, the sun sits 80° up in the south-west at the start, so shade means finding tree cover or bringing your own — it's an open field. Sunset is 8:34 PM local: an evening session gets real shade as the sun drops — by 7:05 PM the sun is only 17° up in the west, 89 minutes from setting.
Check the sun for YOUR day →Austin City Limits is an open festival ground with no fixed seating, so we don't colour sections — the honest tool is the satellite shadow view, which uses baked building heights and tree canopy to show shade anywhere on the field. What's above is exact: the sun's astronomical position for these coordinates and timezone.
