Apparently this year just wasn't hot enough. Austin City Limits Music Festival organizers today announced September 15-17 as dates for the 5th annual ACL Fest.

Organizers already are in criticism-deflection mode:

We have to pick a weekend that doesn't have other competing major events, such as a University of Texas home football game. Logistically, the city is incapable of handling both ACL Festival and other activities that draw a large number of tourists on the same weekend because of limitations on hotel capacity and downtown parking facilities. That leaves a narrow window of availability in late September through early October.

Stock up now on sunscreen, bottled water, and bandanas. It's gonna be another hot one next year.
