So far, simply put -- sweet. The annual festival is set for September 14-16 in Austin, TX. I've got to get down there for this... Lineup: White Stripes Bjork Peter, Bjorn and John Joss Stone Rodrigo Y Gabriela Decemberists Rose Hill Drive Andrew Bird Augustana Robert Earl Keen Beau Soleil Gotan Project Indigo Girls Heartless Bastards Andy Palacio (via Austin City Limits News and Rumors) I was just down in Austin for SXSW 2007 and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I truly felt as if I could come right back to the city immediatley after I left and I vowed to make the ACL Fest a reality at some point in the near future. Feel free to start considering yourself after you read on for the full, rumored lineup. Rumored Lineup: Interpol the Arcade Fire the Decemberists Kings of Leon Ben Kweller the New Pornographers the Black Keys Sparklehorse Andrew Bird Kaiser Chiefs Damien Rice Explosions in the Sky the White Stripes Wilco Gov't Mule Spoon the Black Angels My Morning Jacket Modest Mouse the Roots Clap Your Hands Say Yeah the Hold Steady Yo La Tengo the Polyphonic Spree Asleep at The Wheel Peter Yorn Joss Stone Robert Earl Keen Joseph Arthur Peter, Bjorn, and John LCD Soundsystem Heartless Bastards Crowded House Queens of The Stone Age The Killers GOTAN Project The Good, the Bad & The Queen Bjork T Bone Burnett The Might Clouds of Joy James Hunter Amos Lee The Dynamites Big Sam's Funky Nation Andy Palacio Del McCoury Band Kevin McKinney Fionn Regan John Ralston Will Hoge Amy Whinehouse Augustana Raul Malo The National Broken West Bela Fleck & The Flecktones Stephen Marley Steve Earle Blue October Zap Mama Indigo Girls Cross Canadian Ragweed Paolo Nutini Zap Mama Kelly Willis Butch Walker Beau Soliel Devotchka Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings Back Dr. Slam Yusuf Islam Bob Dylan The Little Ones Sound Team Ryan Shaw STS9 Of Montreal Ian Ball Lucinda Williams Lily Allen Rodrigo Y Gabriela Rosehill Drive Artic Monkeys Bloc Party Ghostland Observatory Reverend Horton Heat Regina Spektor JJ Grey & Mofro Eli Young Band Ziggy Marley Jon Dee Graham Eddie Vedder Stevie Wonder Neil Young</i>
I'm not a big ACL guy - really festivals in general - but depending on who is confirmed for this, I might go.
If the rumored list is true, that's a fantastic lineup. So many I haven't had a chance to see before and so many that I want to see again. Official lineup should be out in the next couple of weeks.
Don't miss the comment below by some poster: Comments the source that posted that rumored list said that someone close to the organization of ACL counted 69 bands from that rumored list that were on the lineup, and not included in that 69 were bob dylan, stevie wonder, and neil young... so take it with a grain of salt...i think it has some big names added in there to throw people off though 69 of those bands would still be a killer lineup, no matter how you slice it Although removing dylan and wonder may reduce the starpower, doesn't effect the list much for me. It's still an awesome collection.
Well, we'll know for sure in 1 week. According to the Austin Statesman, the official list comes out on the 10th.
eh, not many of my favorites in that list. I'd like to see Bjork, LCD Soundsystem, The Roots, and maybe The White Stripes....but thats about it from that list. I was so hoping for Radiohead/Smashing Pumpkins, but thats just wishful thinking.
Aww...are you serious??? I'd crap myself if I got to see any combination of these artists....I wish ACL was a summer thing. :\
i don't get why they are not more popular. i think they are capturing the zeitgeist admirably. in another era i think they might have been as big as U2. but as is being discussed in http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=128590&page=2 times have changed. why don't you like them?
I can't really put my finger on it. Their music just doesn't move me in any way. And beyond that, I often hear music that is popular, that I don't like, but I can understand the appeal. That's not the case with Arcade Fire. Also, I think I first heard them on Saturday Night Live and it seems to me like the sound is often so horrible on that show that even bands/songs I like are almost unlistenable. So that may have biased me against them.
