ACL 2019: Lineup spoilers!

 And its one of those insanely annoying optical illusion thingies that were hot back in the 90's and I NEVER can see what is going on in them. Fucking Magic Eye things.  I always blamed it on the fact that one of my eyes is messed up and I wore glasses, but if you look at the comments to this thing, it seems like everyone else is having trouble too. These suck

On the Instagram version, people are hilarious, saying that it says Deftones or Arianna Grande or whatever they want it to say.  Most people seem to be guessing Tame Impala and Gary Clark Jr., but I have no clue if that is legit or just guesses.  

The Internet Nerds have decreed that this image says Gary Clark Jr.  Which is rad!  But also annoying that they are using a method for the spoilers that is probably non-ADA compliant.

Still can't see anything, and even tried loading it into some Magic Eye decoder website, but that just made me dizzy.  Annoying shit.  But the Internet says that this says Monsieur Perine, which is something I've never heard of.  Time to get crackin'.

Many more things have come out, saying that we get Kacey Musgraves ( hell yes), Griz (cool), 21 Savage (?), Sigrid (OK), Childish Gambino (overrated), and King Pricess (??).  Lineup announced this morning!

Also, just a random observation that I hadn't seen before - Consequence of Sound named ACL 2018 their Festival of the Year, which is pretty rad.
