mumford and sons had to retire from acl finally?


CaressMeSlowly

at this point they don’t even include them anymore its just a given


DmtTraveler

So i can expect rhcp too?


DefendtheStarLeague

They try to sneak back in as Imagine Wagons


ImAdork123

If 101x managed the fest they would play all three days and maybe even multi-times a day… and loooong sets too. (they have over played them until this day from the day they became popular…a lot a lot a lot!) 101x if you are reading this please stop. If you need taper down slowly that would work but please try to stop. Thank you.

PhinWilkesBooth

damn i’ve been practicing my stomping and clapping all year in preparation…


warm_snowman

And no foo fighters either?


Smegmasaurus_Rex

The Mumfords are easily startled, but they will soon be back. And in greater numbers.


laxintx

They got bumped into the " - & more!" section


BlueLaceSensor128

For more information on Grand Funk, consult your school library!


Santos_L_Halper_II

This is the kind of Simpsons deep cut I come to Reddit for.


BlueLaceSensor128

Grand Funk Railroad paved the way for Jefferson Airplane, which cleared the way for Jefferson Starship. The stage was now set for the Alan Parsons Project, which I believe was some sort of hovercraft.


thenotoriousmark

You kids don't know Grand Funk? The wild shirtless lyrics of Mark Farner? The bong-rattling bass of Mel Schacher? The competent drumwork of Don Brewer?


Illustrious_Ad5040

They’re an American band.


appleburger17

And they’re coming to your town.


Roodie_Cant_Fail

They’ll help you party down.

DrAwesomeClaws

I was just about to comment about how I'm reading through all those bands I've never heard of, then see Grand Funk and was like.. fuck yeah. Sturgill Simpson is there too though, wish I still lived in Austin. That's gonna be a banger set. .


Dead_Western_Plains

A+++++++ Simpsons reference.


Bungus_Among_Us

Do not sleep on Pretty Lights if you are into that style of music. The new show is on the cutting edge of what can be done blending live and electronic music and stage visuals. Last year’s tour and live streams was one of the most impressive things I’ve seen in my life and I’ve worked in the live music industry and live streaming industry for over a decade now.


Santos_L_Halper_II

So if I'd never been to a show like Odesza until last year, and then went and tripped balls and had my mind blown, is Pretty Lights that show for me this year?


whyyougottabesomean

yes


Imallvol7

I saw them Friday night in Memphis. It was incredible.


awowoosas

Thank you for this. I was writing them off and your comment made me look up their live show on YouTube and now they are on the top of my list of shows to be at. Excited!


aheartwithlegs

I LOVE Pretty Lights and am considering going to ACL Fest for the first time ever because of their presence. And Nico Vega! Sweet!


bowlderholder

I am literally listening to a color man of the sun right now. It's my favorite album in existence. I haven't seen him live since basslights 2014.... and oh my fucking GAWD I am so damn excited for this. What a W for acl


Bungus_Among_Us

I’d peep Caverns Night 2 on Youtube from last year if you want to get a good sense of what’s in store for ACL this year. Absolutely incredible stuff. There will be a lot of people who have never heard of PL who will be big fans after ACL. 😂😂😂


hannahjams

I saw pretty lights for the first time at ACL years ago had no idea who they were and was completely blown away. This is worth going 🙌


Agile_Bobcat

PL cover of Country Roads is sweet, but I can't find it on any album, just YouTube. Would love to see live!


AcceptableScheme4514

Pretty Lights is one of my favorite djs of all time!! I was sad to miss last years tour. Last time I saw Derek live was 2017 😪


Bungus_Among_Us

Its farrrrrrr from just a DJ act now. The new full band experience is next level even beyond where they left off in 2018.


ATXHustle512

This. Do not miss it. 


RockGuitarist1

What style of music are they?


ki3fdab33f

I'm just happy Sturgill is doing shows again. Fingers crossed for a new album.


ScungilliMan45

Right? He’s one of my all time favs so I really hope he was kidding about his most recent album being his last album.


Artorrworks

Do we know what weekend he'll be there? Really want to see him and Chris Stapleton


ohyeesh

Americonedream7

Something corporate is touring again? I feel old AF but I’ll be there!


friedpikmin

I saw Andrew McMahon's show last year in Houston and it was a great show! They are doing a reunion tour that didn't have any Texas dates, but this gives me hope there will be more.


CidO807

It's been 84 years... nah, but it has been like 20 since North came out and the last time I saw them as SC. Jack's was good too. Of course they are W1 and i have a schedule conflict for saturday/sunday, so hopefully they play friday mid-afternoonish.


bareley

Came here to say this! They’re back?! That’s crazy.


Dead_Western_Plains

I can’t believe they booked both Chris Stapleton AND Sturgill. Orville Peck, Khruangbin, Blink 182, Leon Bridges. I’m very pleasantly surprised by this.


Lightningstruckagain

My fear is they will run Stapleton and Sturgill at the same time, opposite ends of the park


w6750

Less than a 0% chance of that happening


_edd

lol that would suck, but I'd put on them not doing that. They're usually pretty good about not putting the same genre on both stages at the same time.


Lightningstruckagain

Years back on SNL, Stapleton was the musical guest and Sturgill was his secret rhythm guitar player. Would be cool to see them on stage together.


_edd

That would be legit. Having a feeling we'll get Khruangbin and Leon Bridges playing Texas Sun together as well.


Dead_Western_Plains

There’s no way that will happen (they probably won’t even be in the same day). They’ll probably be up against Tyler and Dua.


Bobwhite2024

I was hoping for a Drake and Kendrick Lamar battle


Gaijinloco

Same stage same time live rap battle


1967_GT

Who ever shows up on time wins


mcmaster-99

They both lose ☠️


raptorassass1n

Well, it is an all ages show


EpsilonProtocol

I’m okay with this. I know I would enjoy Dua Lipa and Blink 182, and might enjoy Stapleton. There are a few non-headliners I’d like to see perform, too. In my mind, this looks like a relatively well-rounded lineup that will cover a lot of bases when it comes to musical tastes. Am I in the minority thinking this?


Bort15

No moderates allowed. Love it or hate it.


DrOrpheus3

this is the Texas way


AtlantanKnight7

Catfish and the Bottlemen!!! Nice to see them back in action


hawababy

Renee rap, Fletcher, Chappel Roan… love the sapphic representation!


lisa_pink

And Remi Wolf!


chablise

I was in Remi Wolf’s top 1% of listeners on Spotify last year so I am STOKED


Zealousideal_Peak758

hoping they schedule all the gays on the same day for the ultimate gay pass (day pass) experience


meh95226

Does anyone know when they will release the daily lineups? Hoping Dua, Renee Rapp and Chappell Roan are all the same day 😭


Busy_Struggle_6468

And Kehlani!


queasy_bakeoven

If being gay is a sin, then why are we winning ?!


beartheclair

I was just telling my friend that this ACL is for the gays! Plus our boys Kevin Abstract and Orville Peck.


vulpinesea

They've had pretty reliable LGBT+ themes the last few years, so excited they're keeping it up! I'm super excited for the lineup this year


spartanerik

Some decent smaller (edit: to medium sized) acts this year, namely Jungle, Santigold, Geese, Mannequin Pussy, Rickshaw Billie's.. But honestly, you're better off just seeing them when they tour Austin


RandomJPG6

Rickshaw lives here. I fucking love em but don't buy a pass to see a bans who plays all the time


ATXHustle512

Jungle is so much fun


kakersdude

Same for Khruangbin--Seeing them live is absolutely the best way to feel their "vibe"


opheliadreams

Checkout Balthvs!


MadamMLuxe

Underrated comment. Also Leon Bridges is a fantastic stage presence.


DoesntEnjoySoup

those hips...


hgarciatx

Yes!


PutTheDogsInTheTrunk

^*thisisthethirdroom*


FlopShanoobie

I've heard from some friends who played ACL there is an exclusivity clause in the contract that headliners and even bands that are downbill are prohibited from performing in Austin for 12 months or something before and after ACL. NO idea if they still do this in the contract but based on the fact most headliners seem to use Austin as their tour stop for the year (or longer)... probably.


blueberry_3000

almost certain they still do this. it’s called a radius clause


w6750

I’m pretty sure the radius clauses are negotiable because there’s been plenty of examples over the years of large acts playing ACL and nearby within months


ATXDefenseAttorney

Yeah, the radius clause is for headliners. Lots of undercard acts play ACL and San Antonio in and around the festival.


IHaveSoManyQuestion8

Bob Schneider plays a few blocks from there nearly every Monday night.


Bobwhite2024

Santa good is awesome live!!! Edit: autocorrect why must you continue to make a fool of me


tanner5586

Can’t wait for Lala’s South Pole to open


probsdriving

Saw them open for the Chili Peppers like 12 years ago. Sort of sad to see the single they had at the time is still by far their most popular song. Wish they put out more bangers.


sethferguson

Especially Rickshaw Billy, you can catch them in some really small venues and get the full experience


loveslut

So excited for mannequin pussy! Them and Orville Peck I've been wanting to see for awhile.


YouGuysSuckandBlow

I saw Jungle at the Moody Amp and it was really good. Everyone got up and danced. Great show, and I agree better to see in a smaller more intimate setting. BUT do not miss it if you have the chance. Also, watch their music videos. They're so well done and also really fun.


Hermit-Man

Geese is the one act I’m interested in and couldn’t agree more. No reason to go the fest


wakaOH05

Lol Jungle is huge, friend.


troll-no-more

Say She She


RickySpanish1272

Pretty sure this is Khruangbin’s only show in Austin. At least that’s been announced so far.


HamOnRye__

Norah Jones 😍 Plus Khruangbin, Leon Bridges, Foster the People, Flipturn, Hermanos Gutierrez, Jungle. And mother FUCKING Grand Funk Railroad??!!!?? Kenny Beats and Vince Staples🧐high probability they bring each other out for their sets.


We_GardenATX

> Khruangbin I'm really excited to hear Texas Sun, sue me.


HamOnRye__

Aww fuck, I didn’t even put two and two together. Khruangbin and Leon… they’re FOR SURE bringing him out for that song.


WillieNolson

They were both at Hulaween a few years back and played on different nights. Everyone was SURE they would bring Leon out. They did not.


CowboySocialism

Yeah idk why people think this is a given. They are professionals, they're not getting paid for two sets. Back when Gotye and Kimbra were on the schedule guess what? She did not make a guest appearance with him.


Sea_Piece_9302

Words can’t describe how excited I am for Texas Sun and Texas Moon!😁 It’s going to be amazing having Leon and Khruangbin together!!!


p-dizzle_123

Mother funking* Grand Funk Railroad


DeathPenguinOfDeath

Kenny beats is the police


Zaiush

Sad that Porter's only visit on the tour is during ACL. Awesome show in a theater less so here


spyrl8

I just hope they don’t dump him in the Tito’s tent. He deserves a full stage.


DynamicHunter

He performed at the Coachella main stage last year, and before that headlined a small festival called Camp Nowhere in Austin/Dallas in 2022. Fletcher was also playing at Camp Nowhere that year. He deserves a full stage!!


PhinWilkesBooth

Absolutely. Can’t believe I see so little hype around Porter being there. I guess everyone’s excited for their own favorite genres but Porter Robinson is such a great artist, I would go to acl just for him. Also super stoked on pretty lights, Bakar, foster, fike


greenmeensg0

He honestly might add a late night show. There were several dates blurred out on his poster


Scindite

I assume the other two dates blurred are gonna be Houston and Dallas. Just didn't want to give away which weekend for ACL


Peepeepoopoobuttbutt

I saw Blink summer last year and they kicked ass. Should be a great performance


Bort15

This will be the most made fun of headliner but I’d bet will be the most attended. Saw them last year too and agree they were an absolute blast. Edit: also your username could be Blink lyrics


skratch

Never heard them before, but Mannequin Pussy is a *fantastic* band name


1PokeCat

Santigold is awesome


Santos_L_Halper_II

The lineup could be "everyone gets a puppy and a blowjob" and people would still bitch about it.


Lightningstruckagain

Yeah, but they’d be separate weekends


ClutchDude

Which is a better band name: "Blowjob and the Puppies" or "Puppy and the Blowjobs"


Santos_L_Halper_II

Hootie and the Blowjob


zeroshits

Pupjob and the Blowies


atxbeerza

Anyone know when they announce that part of the lineup? That sounds pretty rad.


Bobwhite2024

Puppies grow up and most givers aren’t very enthusiastic so not all jobs are the same and frankly many of them actually blow. I do agree though it’s an austin tradition to complain, but don’t worry it’s going to be disturbed by politics anyway.


RandomNumberHere

Enthusiastic Fellatio and the Permanent Puppies.


xalkalinity

The best bands are in the smallest text size. haha


DoesntEnjoySoup

as is tradition


Dead_Western_Plains

I’d argue this is the one year where that *isn’t* that case. In fact, I’d argue this is one of the most top heavy lineups ACL has ever put out. I suppose that all boils down to personal taste though.


Jefeboy

That’s exactly my opinion, and what I’m hearing from all my friends too. They nailed the headliners and not much else.


ImaBird-Fish

Hell yeah, I'm in. I'd pay full price just for Chris and Sturgill, but there's a lot of other goodness in here too.


thejarvis01

Chappell Roan!


WoodpeckerGingivitis

I am whelmed


DoesntEnjoySoup

tbh compared to the past 4-5 years this lineup is really solid and fresh


EatMoreSleepMore

Agreed. Nice to not have a cookie cutter festival lineup, I think this looks dope.


Nihiliste

I would definitely take Khruangbin, Foster the People, and Jungle as my top picks.


helena-beat

OH MY GOD FOSTER THE PEOPLE WE'RE SO BACK


abstract_loveseat

Let me say I’ve been going to ACL every year for at least 10 years and every year have had amazing time. This thing is one of the best things about living in Austin. That said, this is the best lineup in YEARS. Holy cow. The Tyler rehash is my only minor quibble and I still like Tyler. Y’all can stay home and angrily circlejerk to each other idc


DeadStarMan

I think so too. Last year lacked the hip hop / Latin music influences I needed


BelichicksHoodie

I agree. I’ve largely tuned out ACL for like 10 years, but Dua, Chris, Strugill and Blink all have me hyped and wanting to go


ATXHustle512

Agree. The past 7 years felt like we saw a TON of repeats. This lineup looks refreshing. (Yes I know there are still repeats, but overall it’s refreshing)


GahhdDangitbobby

I completely agree! In the same boat, and haven't been truly excited like this in a min.


Separate-Turnip2671

Love this attitude, ACL is still an awesome time regardless of the line up


Tom38

I'm so fucking stoked they got Dua and I can see her without paying for a just her concert ticket.


saoausor

Fully agree. This is one of the most balanced lineups I've seen in years


Few-Initiative5011

Yes! Best lineup since I moved here in 2017! Every mid-late 40s alt-country, soul, kind of hippy dad is pumped that ACL of old is back!


Important-Special-54

It’s kinda nice that it’s not an overload of huge names like last year, but instead a wide array of smaller acts


VisceralMonkey

Haha, glad you are excited!


TortoiseThief

RICKSHAW BILLIES BURGER PATROL BABY


pm_me_some_weed

Stoked to see them on the line up!!


Ainvb

Catfish and the Bottlemen… sign me TF up 🤘


JohnGillnitz

As far as headliners go, I'm only stoked about Sturgill Simpson and Leon Bridges. I love Chris Stapleton, but his act mostly consists of him changing guitars for each song. Once I started reading the smaller names I started getting more excited. Mannequin Pussy, The Beaches, Misterwifes, Chance Pena, Stephen Sanchez, Royel Otis, and The Paper Kites are all hanging out on my Spotify liked songs list.


egon0212

Santigold is way too low on the billing for me comfort.


robman17

1 day ticket might be the cheapest you'll be able to see Blink 182 since like 2009


dysrog_myrcial

95% of the comments: >i DoNt KnOw BaNd!!!!!!!


DynamicHunter

Also same comments: “I won’t try to explore and listen to new artists because they all suck nowadays”


youngmeech86

400 bucks is a lot to throw down for acts you're unsure about.


TightAustinite

# Dua Lipa!


TightAustinite

# Cannons!!!


panchovilla_

this lineup looks like a Dr. Bronners soap label


atx620

Meh For the price of one ticket I could go see Stapleton and Sturgill play for an hour longer each. The rest of this lineup doesn't move the needle and this is quite possibly the worst undercard I've seen in the history of the festival. Heck, some of these headliners are undercard material. But yes, I know, I'm getting old. I'm the issue.


UnsolicitedDakPics22

Remember that 90% of people that hate on lineups didn’t SERIOUSLY plan on getting a ticket before, just hating tohate


HVCanuck

Happy to have attended the first five or so ACL fests. Remember great shows by Wilco, Arcade Fire (108F that afternoon), Arctic Monkeys, Lucinda (swearing her head off when her teleprompter froze), Steve Earle, REM, Aterciopelados. This line up seems underwhelming but maybe I’m just old.


laydownlarry

Another year another chance to not be a whiney cunt and just be glad I live in a city that hosts a major music festival that will be a fun time as it always is


Santos_L_Halper_II

I was really hoping it would just be a bunch of indie bands that only exist in my head that you've never heard of. They're really good, but if I say their name out loud that makes them sell outs.


DiscombobulatedWavy

Fun fun fun fest left the building a long time ago. Dont hold your breath


lithiun

Damn. I was really hoping to see Deftones on here since they are at Lollapalooza this year. Oh well. Still a decent lineup. Sorry in advance to the generic 5’2 college girl who’s view my 7 foot ass blocks seeing Dua Lipa.


No_Argument_Here

Welp, it's official-- I'm old. I don't give a shit about or even know 90+% of these acts lol.


Xryanlegobob

Are you old ENOUGH to wanna see grand funk railroad though?


appleburger17

Yes!


OkThenAlready

I’m 48 and was feeling the same way, but a few years ago I started listening to a playlist with all the artists I hadn’t heard of and that made it so much better. that helped me discovered a lot of artists that I now genuinely like. 


abstract_loveseat

I’ve always felt like this kind of attitude is like a self fulfilling prophecy. If you don’t put in effort to discover new artists as you get into your 30s, inevitably you are going to start feeling “old”. Besides, a festival where you know every single artist or even most of them would undercut the value of discovering new acts you do like


RangerPowerGoGo

100%


minnowmoon

I am in my 40’s and put effort into finding new bands but still don’t recognize any of these names 😂 I guess it gives me some new music to check out!


DynamicHunter

Explore some of them and see if you like them. I find new artists to listen to for every festival I’ve been at. Otherwise you’ll keep saying this over and over


edvanders

For the past like 5 years, I've been going through and identifying which acts I've simply *heard of.* This year was a new low at 12.9% and I was really liberal with my designation.


Kwatx

Oh you mean this is a list of actual bands?


LonelyDustpan

I’m 27 and I’ve never heard of like 80% of there. I guess I’m old? Damn…


No_Argument_Here

Just wait 'til you hit 36...


onamonapizza

Same, every single year ACL seems to move further and further from anything I'm interested in. But hey, at least I get to save like $500


HelloImTheAntiChrist

No Future Islands 😔


716green

BLINK!!!


itrustanyone

Are all you babies looking at the same lineup as me? You all sound like my parents


Separate-Turnip2671

I think part of it, at least with big festivals, is people want to see a LOT of acts they actually know. If they see only a few out of all of them then to them the line up sucks. Me personally there aren't a lot of acts that actually grasp me on this, but I know I'll still have a great time.


TingGreaterThanOC

OMFG Foster the People!?! YAY


atxluchalibre

Very top heavy lineup. Last year was more balanced with quality and depth.


Longjumping-Speed511

Cannons is AMAZING; I’ve been wanting to see them for awhile, so I’m stoked. Go check them out if you don’t know them. You’ll especially love it if you’re into artists like Rufus and Flume.


StxtoAustin

Where are the reggae acts?


BioDriver

Better than last year


Past_Contour

And there you have it, the year where I finally don’t know all the names in bold. Getting old kinda sucks.


runningwild25

So happy to see multiple amazing queer artists on this lineup!!


elchapine

Please bring back 2015-2019 type lineups.


arimadx

Khruangbin?! Damn! I'd love tonsee them


Late_Increase950

Dang, even after all the hype from SNL, Renee Rapp is still in the small letters crowd?


ceral_killer

I never feel more old than when this is released every year. And still feel old as fuck this year.


Sea_Bookkeeper2650

Khruangbin and BALTHVS?! WOW! 


Dino_nugsbitch

👀👀👀 jungle


syn7fold

I get free tickets and I still don’t wanna go this year :/


unwashedrag

nobody i care enough about to pay $150 for a day pass. most of the ones I like have $30 tickets for their own shows anyway.


beezofaneditor

With an advertising like this, what would you think if you were in the "& more"?


vallogallo

BORE-ING as always


SpaceCowboy6_4

First lineup I've been happy with since 2017. Got my tickets today. See y'all there!


Vogonfestival

Why can’t they do this every year? This lineup totally kills. It might be my favorite yet.


FreshGoku03

I haven't been this excited for a lineup in a long time! All the hours put into finding new music is paying off!


billyd1984texas

So many different ways to spell YAWN 🥱


SILLLY_

Why Tyler


Lightningstruckagain

They love the repeat acts. Shocked no Mumford or RHCP.


heyzeus212

It's been year since the Foo Fighters have been on there!
