[Sausage]

Didn't see a topic for this,

anyone going? The lineup was announced early this morning.

I bought 2 three day early bird passes for $185, and will probably end up selling them.

Kanye West? Really? Saw the Foo Fighters were headlining Lollapaloza so I was hoping maybe they would maybe come here too.

Pretty much like every year: some acts I'd really like to see, but ultimately not worth the trouble.

[Sense]

About 5 of those bands I would want to see.... :) Arcade Fire coming back to Austin...

[Nathan Explosion]

My friend got me tickets. I don't really care who was playing, I just thought it would be awesome to go. And I'm not going to claim to be a Stevie Wonder fan, but I respect the hell out of him as a musician, so you bet your ass I'm going to be there to see him.

Cold War Kids freaked me out when I watched their streaming show from Coachella. Just sayin'.

ACL is lame

Yeah, where's Led Zeppelin? :madrun

[mojorizen7]

Check out Daniel Lanois Black Dub
Wish i could...

Pretty huge drop off after the headlining acts . . .

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Only day I'd be interested in would be Saturday. For Stevie, of course, but I see Chromeo is playing too. Funkiest Arab-Jew pairing I know.

[leemajors]

Yeah, where's Led Zeppelin? :madrun

I'm surprised the Jason Bonham Experience isn't riding this ABC NBA theme all the way to ACL.

[Sense]

Last year's ACL line-up was just awesome... this years is pretty shitty tbh... but at least Arcade Fire is there..

?????

TVOTR, Nas/Damian Marley, Broken Social Scene, DFA1979, Iron & Wine, The Walkmen, & Aloe Blacc are all great. Some other decent ones too.

[CuckingFunt]

Every time I see Fitz and the Tantrums I can't help wanting to like them because their name is so awesome, but then I hear one of their songs and remember they suck.

Such a shame.

[The Gemini Method]

TVOTR, AF, Aloe Blacc, Gary Clark Jr. Iron & Wine, and Cut Copy are all worthwhile...that's for sure. If Kanye stays away from 808 and plays the rest of his discography, you could have an epic performance from him.

I kind of meant below the top third. Which might not be all bad . . . you can show up late and not be outside all day.

It's a bit of a weak line-up in general, but there is enough there (depending on scheduling) to make worth the $$$.

I don't know if bands like Futurebirds and The Cave Singers would be enough for me to get to the park early and stay all day.

North Mississippi All-Stars, the goods.

[dirk4mvp]

Cocaine's pretty expensive.

Cocaine's pretty expensive.

it's not that bad when you sign a multimillion dollar contract after being drafted in the first round. key word being drafted.

Rememba when I gave you a go kart ride back from the tree of woe concerning his projected stats this season? I at least wanted it to be fun, but he shit the bed way too soon.


lol thinking it was only Del-Rio's doghouse holding him back

[DMC]

Austin reminds me of SNL a bit. There are some real gems but there are also a shit load of "wtf" gigs that you have to weed through to find the good stuff.
