I saw Avett Brothers at a hot outdoor venue a few years ago and you could see the sweat pouring off their hands and face like an athlete and their clothes were completely soaked. At ACL (or any festival) you see the folks in lighter clothes just get absolutely drenched; David Byrne’s trademark gray suits were dark in like 5 minutes during his afternoon set.
