The LumineersAustin City Limits 2012: Chili Peppers 'Mess With Texas,' Avett Bros Rock Sunday
weekend of mud, sweat and beer came to a close Sunday with a nearly two-hour headlining set by the Red Hot Chili Peppers at Austin City Limits 2012.
"We came here specifically to mess with Texas," frontman Anthony Kiedis told the Austin crowd after kicking off the final set of the festival with "Monarchy of Roses." And they did just that as the crowd danced and sang along with "Can't Stop," "Dani California," "Suck My Kiss," "Otherside," "Under the Bridge," "Snow (Hey Oh)," "Californication" and "By The Way."
Crystal Castles, Childish Gambino Feed Off Chili Peppers Crowd
Electronic band Crystal Castles started their set 20 minutes late but made up for it with blinding strobe lights, a tummy rumbling bass and a bit of crowd surfing. Despite the mad beats, many audience members left early to wade through the crowd eagerly awaiting the Red Hot Chili Peppers at the Bud Light stage.
Actor and rapper Childish Gambino's (a.k.a Donald Glover, Troy Barnes on NBC's "Community") crowd stuck around longer partly because of his performances of "Heartbeat "and "You See Me" and partly because the Chili Peppers were headlining at the neighboring stage.

Mud, Bras and Jellyfish
On the fan front, the final day of ACL 2012 saw most people covered in mud thanks to the previous day's rain. Despite forecasts calling for more precipitation, there was hardly a cloud in the sky. Once again, flags out-shined fashion choices, as one group carried around an umbrella jellyfish that read "R U Jelly?" while another made a flag out of six lacy bras.
Avett Brothers Perform With the Chili Peppers' Chad Smith, Stooges Invite Fans Onstage
North Carolina folk rock band the Avett Brothers rocked the AMD stage with "January Wedding," "February Seven" and a performance of "Paul Newman vs. The Demons" featuring Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith.
At the same time, Iggy and the Stooges owned the Bud Light stage across the park with "Raw Power" and "I Feel Alright (1970)." "I'm lonely…. Bum rush this f***ing stage," Iggy Pop told onlookers before a group of about 20 fans stormed the stage during "Shake Appeal."
