Remember that ticket you and hundreds of thousands of others bought to get into this year's Austin City Limits Music Festival in Zilker Park? Well it turns out it guarantees you a lot more than just music this year.
"By purchasing a ticket, you agree to submit to a full body pat down and magnetometer screening before entry," says the festival's website, which goes on to add, "Persons that refuse to comply with the search will be refused entry to the event."
It's all part of a safety and security plan festival organizers say they're working on 24/7 that changes every day.
"We work closely with the City of Austin to continually evaluate our security measures , both seen and unseen,to ensure the safety of everyone in the park," said one festival organizer.
It's an approach that's led to bans on everything from big bags to backpacks,and selfie sticks to explosives and firearms. But this year a less visible threat to the festival is also listed on their webpage.
"Safety is our highest priority at the ACL Festival," reads the website, "which includes public health."
While this year's website offers links to learn more about preventing a newer Monkeypox threat, Covid concerns continue.
"If you're unvaccinated, the CDC encourages you to bring and wear a mask," says the website which goes on to add, " ACL festival encourages all patrons and staff to look out for each other and to not attend the festival if they don't feel well."
While festival organizers tell us they'll be doing all they can to keep things safe and secure for the close to half a million festival goers expected at the park over two weekends, they're counting on you to do a little more than just enjoy the show.
"Remember:", says the website," You're the eyes and ears of the festival. If you see something suspicious, say something."
