ACLFest 2011

after looking at bonaroo's lineup acl's looks downright paltry... i mean, that's how you put together a lineup.

i'm passing.

 

Anyone selling tickets?

 

Manu Chao and Kurt Vile added

Someone showed me Manu Chao not too long ago and I enjoyed it. Not a bad add.

Definitely excited. Top 8 or so lines are really incredible. The last few lines are a bit weak, but the top is strong, and the headliners are so good, that I don't care.

Really really want to see Kanye, Arcade Fire, My Morning Jacket, Fleet Foxes, and Death From Above 1979 (they alone sell me). And then theres a bunch more names I wouldn't mind seeing at all, like Stevie, Broken Social Scene, Cut Copy, Empire of the Sun, Elbow, Airborne Toxic Event, Big Boi, Miniature Tigers, Foster the People, TV on the Radio, and a bunch more

Honestly, I think I'd call this the second best US festival of the year line-up wise, behind Coachella (I like Coachella's more because its deeper and its electronic line-up was amazing). I'd say definitely better than Bonnaroo's, Sasquatch's, or Lollapalooza's.

 

You had me at Death From Above 1979.

 

Im sure the Friday and Saturday sellout crowds will sure miss you.

 

everyone should go see bright eyes and wave a bunch of texas flags and chunk (full) cans of lone star and shiner beer at "conner". and b/t songs everyone sing "deep in the heart of texas".

or are yall going to let some pasty little twigboy from nebraska get away with saying this about our state?

 

Manu chao is a great addition.

After reading that comment I am definitely not going to see bright eyes what a piece of ****, and he is from Nebraska of all places. I agree with throwing lone stars at him.

 

i'm sure you're a douchebag.

 

Classic Arlen insult.

 

And I'm sure you're too ****ing dumb to know where the shift key is to capitalize your letters. Comparing Bannaroo to ACL is daft. Bannaroo is impossible to compare but being that ACL is in proximity to lots of people of the board, assuming that maybe 45% to 50% live in or around Texas is a pretty great line-up. Seeing that you can't even spell the damn festival nulls and voids anything left you have to say.

 

I kind of agree. All y'all do is ride around in trucks and stare at goats and ****. I'll be there for Bright Eyes. Hopefully catch an after show.

 

I was doing it to make fun. Sorry if it it didn't come across so. Comparing Bonnaroo and not being able to spell the festival is dumb as hell, hence me bolding the letters.

 

I might be able to help you out in a few months once more tickets hit the secondary market. I'll let you know.

 

can anyone recommend a good website that tells you upcoming shows and the days tickets go on sale?

 

What city?

 

Austin, Houston, dallas. mainly Austin.

 

I use Austin360.com regularly to find shows. It's a pretty good site for the Austin area.

 

Thanks. I was looking for something that tells me about upcoming shows before the tickets go on sale, I'm tired of paying over face value.
