Okay, I think most of you have heard me spread the gospel of the ACL Music Festival before, so I won't rehash the old stuff. The lineup for the festival came out last night, and I have to say, it's a masterful piece of rock 'n roll festival greatness. Just off the top of my head, I'm thrilled to see:
Bob Dylan
The White Stripes
Wilco
ARCADE 'FREAKIN' FIRE!!! <--- I got to see them at ACL two years ago, in 104 degree heat, it was quasi religious....
My Morning Jacket
Bloc Party
Arctic Monkeys
Joss Stone
Damien Rice
Robert Earl Keen
Lucinda Williams
Indigo Girls
The Decemberists (Their record last year was one of my favorites....)
Crowded House
LCD Soundsystem
Amos Lee
Ben Kweller
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
Reverend Horton Heat
Pete Yorn
Yo La Tengo
Midlake
And those are only the bands I KNOW I want to see...I haven't even begun my pre-ACL "find some cool new bands that are playing" musical scavenger hunt yet! If you've never been, this would be a great year to start. I'll be there, and you should be too! It's amazing fun times of joy and greatness.
For the full lineup:
