ACL Festival Lineup Is Here
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.
I will admit that while the headliners aren’t blowing me away, aside from Stevie Wonder, there are some smaller bands we’ve been supporting on this site that should be incredible like An Horse, The Cave Singers,Head and the Heart.
Not sure I’m stoked to see James Blake, but I look forward to rioting with Death From Above 1979.
And oh shit…congrats to our boys in Freshmillions…people better be ready to party for that.
Realy psyched about Stevie and I have ZERO problem with seeing Arcade Fire again.
The strength of the line up is the middle. Naysayers will say nay, but I intend to throw down.
I agree with Mr. Gray. Naysayers just want attention, but get none from me. Good times will be had; there is no doubt about that.
Headliners never do it for me, but I think that says more about my issues with large crowds than the overall strength or weakness.
You said it best Mr. Jon. I will never complain about headliners because I would rather just leave and not deal with the massive crowd.
