ACLFest 2011

Arcade Fire the headliner announced today.

Am I the only person that just think they suck? And to headline for what...the 3rd time? Blech.

0-2 on headliners, IMO.

 

Your top 3 headliners are Kanye West, Stevie Wonder, and Arcade Fire according to Spin magazine. That leaves one more headliner to find out.

I am very happy. Love Kanye, Arcade Fire, and MMJ, and I'm sure Stevie puts on a good show. Undercard is really good so far too (Fleet Foxes ). Festival is looking great.

 

Liking those headliners. All 3 are great in my book. I'll definitely be there.

 

Out of those headliners already announced, Stevie is probably the only one I'll stay for.

We'll know the rest of the lineup tomorrow...so I'll try to withhold judgement until then.

 

Still just a rumor at this point.

Another rumor is that Neil Diamond backed out and Coldplay is in. I think someone is just jacking with us though. I hope so cuz either way, I'm not thrilled with most of the acts announced so far.

 

Kanye is headlining.

 

Again.....that's not confirmed.

 

Pass.

 

It is according to local Chicago hip-hop blog, Fakeshoredrive.

 

And they are taking that from what may or may not be a photoshopped pic of an ad in the June issue of SPIN. Neither Kanye, nor Stevie have been confirmed at this point.

 

Hopefully, tomorrow will bring us better news.

 

It's ok, ACL jumped the shark years ago.

 

Just saw a downloaded version of the June issue of SPIN. Same ad, same bands. One step closer to confirmation??

 

I'm planning on attending this year. Any suggestions on places to buy 3 day wristbands? Any help is appreciated.

 

I think it goes without saying as the best ligament in the human body.q

...and it's out!

as speculated, the headliners are kanye west, coldplay, arcade fire, and stevie wonder, supported by my morning jacket, fleet foxes, alison krauss, nas & damian marley, cee lo, bright eyes, cut copy, and social distortion.

seems like a lot of vets returning: tvotr, ray lamontagne, ryan bingham, the walkmen, broken social scene, arcade fire, coldplay, mmj, fleet foxes, alison krauss (w/o plant), cee lo (w/o danger mouse), bright eyes, joseph arthur, gomez... i'm always excited to go, but kinda bummed about repeat acts.

my must see for this go-round: kanye, stevie wonder, skrillex, iron and wine, fitz and the tantrums, delta spirit.

anybody have strong feelings for any of the small acts? i'm interested in suggestions.
