ACL 2008!
The lineup has arrived, calm down.
By Austin Powell, 4:34PM, Tue. Apr. 15, 2008
With Jakob Dylan & the Gold Mountain Rebels following in the footsteps of last year’s headliner Bob Dylan, the rest of the 2008 Austin City Limits Music Festival, September 26-28 in Zilker Park, is suiting up. While there are still a number of high profile veteran artists (Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, Manu Chao, John Fogerty, David Byrne), the lineup, announced today, is dominated by alternative staples (Foo Fighters, Beck, the Mars Volta, Iron & Wine, Gnarls Barkley), right down to the local delegates (White Denim, the Strange Boys, Black Joe Lewis & the Honey Bears).
OTR is personally stoked to see Conor Oberst & the Mystic Valley Band, M. Ward, and Gillian Welch on the same bill, along with Spiritualized, Band of Horses, and Antibalas. View the whole lineup after the jump.
