The big three are Radiohead, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and LCD Soundsystem. Radiohead had already been leaked/announced, and I figured LCD was a lock for this and ACL after they've been named to headline every other big fest. But the Chilis are a welcome addition, I'd love to see them again in Austin.
Second line is a let-down for me, with J. Cole being the only thing I think I'd go see. Lana Del Rey, Future, and Ellie Goulding? Probably not. I hope that ACL gets a little more top heavy than this. I mean, Future is on the second line. This is a guy who is playing venues like a gym on the University of Missouri-KC campus, or the House of Blues in Myrtle Beach (capacity 2,000). The bands on the second line of the Lolla poster should be selling out stadiums. I hope that we'll have something more exciting for Austin, but we'll see.
Next few lines, I'd still like to get to see Disclosure, but I doubt they will come right back to ACL. Jane's Addiction I'd see for sure, but I suspect they are only going to Lolla because of the 25th anniversary thing, and wouldn't come down to Austin. Christ Stapleton, Haim, Leon Bridges - there is some more good stuff in the top third.
And then you get down to the rest of the poster, and there are still great bands all the way down. Foals, The Arcs, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats, Silversun, Houndmouth, Lettuce, Local Natives. Bunch of fun music to see on here. Hell, Third Eye Blind might be fun to see?
Probably another month or two before we see the ACL poster, but this is exciting!
