The full lineup for this year’s Austin City Music (ACL) festival has been posted. And it’s easily the best lineup ever for the 8th year of this incredible 3-day music festival.
Of the 118 band playing over the October 2-4 weekend, these are the notables and some that I’d most like (*) to see:
- Pearl Jam
- Dave Matthews Band
-
Beastie Boys* - Kings of Leon
- Ben Harper and Relentless7*
- Thievery Corporation
- John Legend*
- Sonic Youth
- Mos Def
- Toadies*
- Flogging Molly
- The B-52s
- Lily Allen
- Arctic Monkeys
- The Decemberists*
- The Scabs*
- Poi Dog Pondering*
- Brett Dennen*
- Zac Brown Band*
I attended the fist 4 ACL festivals, but haven’t been to the last 3, mostly because of the uninspiring lineups. But this year is a must see lineup.
Much more ACL festival info can be found here.
B52’s? Really. How can you be the first site that pops up on google with music taste like that? You gonna get down to Rock Lobster? You don’t even have Phoenix on there….. Stop telling people what you like
I didn’t say I’m a fan of the B-52s (I’m not), nor that I was going to see them (I’m not), just that they are notable.
Thanks for the positive post, Robbie. The last several were bringing me down–good to see you talking about stuff that you like!

Tom — what do you think of the lineup this year?
Quite a line-up there, I see moonbat after moonbat,
and then I see…..The Decembrists?
Good grief.
Throw some rotten fruit for me, Robbie, when they lead off their set with the Soviet/Russian Federation National Anthem, as they always do.
What a bunch of spoiled white kid idiots, that for some odd reason, think they are clever.
Oh my No2Liberals–you, sir, are a caution!!
I feel old. I have only heard of 3 of these. Back under my rock…
