Crow, Pixies Go to Austin
 
 
 Austin City Limits Festival enters its third year
 Sheryl Crow, Trey Anastasio, the Pixies, Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, Dashboard Confessional and Modest Mouse are among the first wave of bands confirmed for the third annual Austin City Limits Festival. The event, which will also feature Franz Ferdinand, Robert Randolph and Solomon Burke, is set for September 17-19 in the hometown of the popular Austin City Limits television show, which is celebrating its thirtieth anniversary.
 
 Over the previous two summers, the Austin City Limits Festival offered a diverse lineup of music over three days that reflects the talent that appears on the popular PBS television program of the same name. More than 130 acts will take part in the proceedings, held on eight separate stages in the city's Zilker Park.
 
 Austin City Limits is celebrating its thirtieth anniversary this year, and the upcoming season boasts a lineup including festival performers (Crow, Randolph, the Pixies), returning ACL guests (Flaming Lips, Norah Jones, Lyle Lovett, Patty Griffin) and newcomers (Rufus Wainwright, the Strokes). The new season begins airing October 2nd.
 
 A live album from last year's ACL event will be released this summer. The set includes songs by R.E.M., Ben Harper, the Drive-By Truckers and Bright Eyes.

The complete festival lineup will be out June 10. Old 97's are playing the same day as the Pixies.

 The 3-day passes are going quickly and they're raising the prices next week. I'm looking forward to this festival!

That was so long ago, I don't remember.  Unfortunately my browser history only goes back 3 weeks (or fortunately in case my boss ever wanted to know what I do all day).
 
 I think it was Rollingsone.com, but I'm not willing to bet on it.

I've been reviewing this site the past week. I know two bands that will be there but still need to confirm. I want to go...unsure at this juncture.

I am thinking of going as well, if money holds up, I'll be there for part of the show anyway.

I'm surprised you would have an interest in such an Americana-oriented music festival. Or am I getting your taste confused with redsock's?

perhaps. It does look like quite a good time even if its not all my favourite bands. But i am still waiting for the full lineup too. I still like Radiohead though, dont worry

It's funny noticing which bands Roling Stone chose to highlight. Though I like most of the bands that play the ACL Fest, they chose to mention all bands that I hhave no interest in, except for the Pixies. I think my music festival days are probalby numbered though...so may never make the ACL fest.

Line-up is out

[sonickteam2]

I havent heard of 30% of those bands, and another 20% i have never heard, just heard of.
 
   But nonetheless, if i can swing it moneywise, i just may go!

i believe Rollingstone was probably just announcing the "headliner" bands.  They were probably only relaying a press release they had gotten from the festival.  That is what happens a lot.
