Austin Town Hall

Public service announcement…

The Fun Fun Fun Fest Schedule is out. Previously, we just had the lineup. Now, we can start arguing about which stage at what time and know the general area your drunk friend will be lost in. PIL versus Starfucker seems to be my biggest dilemma. Also, the Yellow stage is now going to feature bands in the evenings including Twin Sister, the always fun Peelander Z and Atlas Sound, finishing up the fest with Black Moth Super Rainbow on Sunday night.

The other news is that the full-price 3-day passes, PIPs and single day tix are available. Go here to buy ‘em up.

Sorry for the major delay on getting this information out to you guys as I’m sure you’ve seen this information elsewhere by now.  For those of you that haven’t already heard, the Fun Fun Fun Fest lineup was leaked last night via Bingo tournament.  As you can see via the poster to my left, the lineup once again blows most festivals completely out of the water.  Somehow the festival goers manage to get great reunion bands like Run DMC, The Promise Ring, Braid, Refused, etc. along with up and comers like Real Estate, Surfer Blood, Dum Dum Girls, etc.

Without a doubt, this will be an awesome festival just like it is every year.  You can scope the full lineup on the poster or check it out over on the official website.

Don’t forget that the special PIP passes are still on sale!

Anyone care to offer their sentiments on the lineup?

The big lineup announcement for the much anticipated Fun Fun Fun Fest  in November is nearly upon we eagerly awaiting fans.  Until that fateful midnight ball drop on Wednesday, the festival kids are continuing their quirky lineup announcements with a Bingo themed one going down Wednesday night at Lucky Lady Bingo in North Austin.  Festival planners are offering free drinks & nachos, prizes, “other fucked up shit”, and of course the big lineup announcement.  Stay tuned here on Thursday for the Fun Fest lineup and commentary from yours truly.

In other news, PIP passes for the festival are still on sale (regular tickets gone bye bye) and apparently Run DMC is planning to reunite and headline.  Say wha!?

Well as most of you who stayed up late last night already know, the entire Austin City Limits Festival lineup leaked last night around midnight.  I’m sure some of you will love it and some of you will hate it, but I have no doubt that we’ll still be seeing many of you there regardless.  As always, the middle part of the lineup with acts like The Vaccines, The Walkmen, Secret Cities, Broken Social Scene, etc. are what make this festival continuously great.  For you out of towners, you’ll also get some big names that stopped into Austin recently and made a lasting impression like Arcade Fire, Fleet Foxes, Twin Shadow, Cut Copy, etc. Have I really been going to this thing for 10 years!?  Full lineup can be seen over on the ACL website.  Let the whining and cheering begin.

The full 2009 FFF Fest lineup has officially been announced. Check out the lineup poster to your left or check out the official site for details. Who are you excited about?

It’s finally here.  You’ve been waiting all Spring; you’ve even bought your tickets, and now the 2009 ACL lineup is here.  I won’t lie, the headliners aren’t really doing anything for me, esepecially because of my extreme hatred for Dave Mathews Band.  But, there are some killer bands that will be gracing smaller stages that you’ll definitely want to check out such as Sonic Youth, Phoenix, Grizzly Bear, The Dodos, Passion Pit and the Walkmen.  You can still buy tickets for a measly $185 here.
