2008 Austin City Limits Music Festival Lineup

UPDATE — Damn. This isn’t the real lineup. The poster is a fake (thanks Pat for the tip). Oh well, slow news day.

Austin Sound Check has found a poster for this year’s 2008 Austin City Limits (ACL) music festival. I didn’t go last year, but this year’s lineup has a lot of artists I’d like to go see:

  • Radiohead
  • Raconteurs
  • Beck
  • Tom Waits
  • Modest Mouse
  • Robert Plant & Alison Krauss
  • Death Cab for Cutie
  • Portishead
  • Sonic Youth
  • Sigur Ros
  • the Shins
  • Cake
  • Ryan Adams
  • Belle and Sebastian
  • Paul Westerberg
  • Ben Folds
  • Bright Eyes
  • Franz Ferdinand
  • Allman Brothers Band
  • Kings of Leon
  • The Roots
  • Charlie and Bruce Robison
  • Drive By Truckers
  • Fiona Apple
  • Blind Boys of Alabama
  • Al Green
  • John Fogerty
  • Feist
  • Built to Spill
  • Iron and Wine
  • Rodrigo Y Gabriela
  • Buddy Guy
  • Polyphonic Spree
  • Cat Power
  • Tracy Chapman
  • Rilo Kiley
  • Jakob Dylan
  • Bob Shneider

And those are just the headliners…

There’s also:

  • Patty Griffin
  • Jimmie Vaughn
  • Asleep at the Wheel
  • Ruthie Foster
  • Todd Snider
  • Slaid Cleaves
  • Brett Dennen
  • Jon Dee Graham

…and about 80 more acts

The bolded acts are the ones I’d most likely go see.

    [Editor --- Damn. Of course I liked this lineup --- which means I'll hate the real lineup.]
