Austin City Limits Music Festival

Oh me. Oh my. Oh Yipee!  On tax day, Austin City Limits released it's lineup for its fall music festival taking place on September 26th - 28th.  At only $170, you should get your tickets now, as I'm sure they are bound to sell out with a lineup like this.  As headlining will be the Foo Fighters and Robert Plant & Alison Krauss (does anyone else think this is an unusual duo?), you have 3 days filled with amazing music.

For anyone near Texas, this is your festival.  Maybe not as hard rock as Lollapalooza, but the diversity is there, and even with great headliners, there are some amazing unnoticed acts at this time.  Once the summer dies down, this is a perfect time to be in Austin, as the weather is extremely nice, and it's a great 6 month spread from SXSW.  Some other noticeable artists throughout the weekend are....

*Gnarls Barkley *Manu Chao *Band of Horses *Silversun Pickups *Patty Griffin *Tegan and Sara *Beck *Okkervil River

Some artists that are going to be there that you might have not heard about yet, but SHOULD.

*Vampire Weekend *Flyleaf *Stars *Mates of State *Tristan Prettyman *Ryan Bingham *AA Bondy *City and Colour

I'll do my damndest to get to Austin.  For the whole lineup, follow picture...
