Austin City Limits Festival

[Cob]

When ever SXSW is going on is when all of the rumors start flying around Austin about who is going to play and Van Halen is one of the names I heard from more than one person, I'm not sure when they are going to announce the lineup, I just hope it's better than last year. I want BIG name headliners, last year there were tons of good bands that weren't headliners, I like Arcade Fire and all, but them as the Sunday headliner, I don't know about that, I'd also like to see Willie play it again, he put the ACL TV show on the map.

Don't they usually announce the line up in mid/ late May?

I could see Van Halen headlining since they don't have an Austin date
So from this board the strong rumors appear to be:

RHCP, VH, and I also could see possibly radiohead.
at least from this thread- they do seem like strong logical possibilities. I would love if PJ headlined a night again though

Radiohead is in Europe pretty much all of October, so it looks like they are a 'no' once again. Bummer.

Edit: ACL is Oct 12-14 and Radiohead plays Paris on the 12th and Amsterdam on the 14th, so they are a definite no. I really want to see them.

Radiohead just taped the show and played the Erwin center. Big Bands don't usually come back to town 6 months later to play the Fest.

Lineup as of now: http://festival-outlook.consequenceofso ... c-festival

With the obvious inclusion of RHCP, I'm wondering if there's going to be a big hip hop act, because Jack White and The Black Keys will be playing too. Neil Young and Crazyhorse are rumored, and it's plausible since they're also playing Voodoo Fest.

2012 rumors.....we'll find out tomorrow!!!

http://blogs.houstonpress.com/rocks/201 ... s_that.php

Eddie Vedder OR Pearl Jam: PJ is playing two festivals in the fall, Music Midtown Festival in Atlanta and the newish DeLuna Fest in Pensacola in late September. Vedder is playing Austin in November on his solo jaunt, so maybe a Vedder uke set at ACL is off the table, but a PJ closing set wouldn't be out of the question if the cash is there.

No PJ or Ed, but a nice looking lineup. I'm stoked about Neil Young & Crazy Horse. Plus the Black Keys, The Avett Brothers, The Shins, Weezer, Jack White, Iggy & The Stooges, The Civil Wars, etc. I'm liking this lineup. I'll probably only be able to do one day and with Neil looking to be the Saturday night headliner, I'm hoping my other favorites play Saturday as well.

[he.who.forgets]

yea this line-up is looking real nice, Clark

[drivingrl]

Rufus Wainwright and the Avett Brothers? Oh, crap. I might have to buy tickets for this.

[Of The Aggie]

Not really a fan of any of the bands playing except Florence + The Machine. I guess I'll be skipping this year too.

[ComeToTX]

Not bad at all. Waiting to see who is doing after shows before I buy.

[SVRDhand13]

The lineup looks good... but very familiar. No real identity.

[ComeToTX]

Neil vs. Jack on Saturday should create quite a dilemma for some.
