Weekend two of ACL 2022 saw a handful of artists who weren't on the lineup during weekend one, but what did make a second appearance was the unforgiving sun. Thankfully, cloud coverage kept Sunday cooler than the previous days, but the music was still as hot as ever. Here are our favorite moments from the closing weekend of Austin City Limits Festival 2022.
