Austin Sound Check

ACL Festival - Updates & Rumors

by Ana Wolken on March 20th, 2008

C3 Presents announced that the lineup for ACL 2008 will be released on April 15. That is a full month earlier than in previous years.

Rumors are rampant that Pearl Jam or Radiohead will be headlining. So far Eli Young Band, Joe Bonamassa and Kevin Fowler are the only artists that can be independently confirmed.

Others rumored to be playing ACL 2008 include:

Allman Brothers
REM
Jack Johnson
My Morning Jacket
Death Cab for Cutie
Wilco
Drive By Truckers
Rodrigo y Gabriela
Rogue Wave
Band of Horses
Rilo Kiley
The Avett Brothers
Vampire Weekend
Okkervil River
Matt Costa
Ghostland Observatory
Weezer
Counting Crows
Dave Matthews Band
Neil Young

I’ll keep you in the loop with updates, including the official announcement on 4/15. So far I’ve got mixed emotions about the rumored lineup. I’m really tired of hearing about Vampire Weekend (am I the only one who thinks they suck?) but Weezer and Ghostland Observatory would be fantastic!
