Music meets rewards at Austin City Limits Fest and on Google Play
Starting October 3 at Austin City Limits Music Festival, we're treating Play Points members to the ultimate rewards drop. If you’re at the festival, step up to our 20-foot-tall tower of road cases and play our custom roadie-inspired challenge to score epic items, and be sure to stick around for Showstopper mode. Once every hour, you’ll have the chance to go head-to-head against seven other players for bigger rewards. Silver+ Play Points members will also be treated to prioritized entry and exclusive on-the-ground collectables.
Silver+ Play Points members can also get priority access to artist meet-and-greets taking place at the Google Store at Domain North Side in Austin. Stay tuned on our X and Instagram channels Weekend 1 for updates.
Google is investing in Arkansas with a new data center, energy efficiency programs and more
Google is investing in Arkansas with a new data center, energy efficiency programs and more.
Google is announcing a new $4 billion investment in Arkansas through 2027, which will include Google’s first data center in the state — located in West Memphis — along with cloud and AI infrastructure, and local programs to increase energy resilience and affordability for local residents.
We’re launching a $25 million Energy Impact Fund to help scale energy efficiency and affordability initiatives for residents in Crittenden County and the surrounding area. In addition, we’re collaborating with Entergy to bring a new 600 MW solar project to the grid and implement programs to reduce power usage during peak hours.
Beyond infrastructure, Google’s investing directly in Arkansas's people. We're boosting the state's talent pipeline by offering no-cost access to Google AI courses and Career Certificates for all residents, in partnership with the Arkansas Department of Commerce. This effort, starting with students at the University of Arkansas and Arkansas State University, is designed to unlock substantial economic opportunity and ensure Arkansas plays a key role in advancing the U.S. as a world leader in AI innovation.
