ACL 2018 schedule released (sort of)!

Woohoo!  Time to start crying!  They've released the schedule, and now you know that if you really wanted to see both The National and Khalid that your life is a terrible sham and you'll never be happy again!

Annoyingly, the release (for now) is only on their app.  So I can't link you to a webpage that would show you the whole schedule - it will be released on the web tomorrow - but if you want to find out that BROCKHAMPTON and Father John Misty are at the same time, which crushes my hopes and dreams, then head over to the app on your phone and witness.

HOLD ON A DAMN SECOND.  The app lists NELLY as playing on Saturday night of first weekend.  WHAT!?!?!  Who knew that Nelly was coming?  THIS IS NOT ON THE POSTER!  I AM SO PISSED THAT I WILL NOT BE THERE FIRST WEEKEND.  I NEED TO DANCE TO ITS GETTING HOT IN HUUUUUURRRRRR IMMEDIATELY.

Other conflicts that are a bummer and other observations:

  • Noname and Alvvays at the same time Friday.
  • David Byrne is at 3:45 pm?  That is weird.
  • Jungle vs. Manchester Orchestra
  • Brockhampton v. Father John really hurts.
  • Justice v. St. Vincent
  • Amen Dunes v Yungblud (why is that guy at freaking 1 o'clock?)
  • The Revolution and Shawn Mendes.

HOLD UP, VINCE STAPLES IS GOING TO BE THERE ON SUNDAY NIGHT?  Why are they adding huge names with ZERO announcements that I can see?  is the app broken?  What is happening.  I need to go do some research immediately.
