A Reddit photo from ACL Festival Day 2 shows a tall yellow smiley-face flag on a long pole towering above the crowd and blocking the view during Role Model’s set. The OP said they “could not see role model because of you waving this shit around” and asked fans to use collapsible flags or keep them down.
I literally could not see role model because of you waving this shit around during the performance… Anyways i had fun, hope everyone has a good day 2 EXCEPT FOR THIS GUY.
The Reddit post (r/aclfestival) has been getting attention from festival-goers — it pulled several hundred upvotes and dozens of comments as people debate flag etiquette and tall poles at crowded shows.
Quick takeaways
- Big, tall flags look great for finding your crew but can ruin views for people farther back.
- Collapsible flags or keeping poles short are simple fixes—festival-goers are already asking for clearer guidance.
- Promoters and security may want to remind fans about considerate flag use next year to avoid blocking sightlines.
