i figured a running list like I have on the left hand side of my page (http://aclfest2006rumors.blogspot.com/) would serve just as well as individual posts...

here is what I have so far...

* The Flaming Lips (their web site)
* Los Lonely Boys (scavanger hunt day 2)
* Iron and Wine (their web site)
* The New Pornographers (scavanger hunt day 3)
* Son Volt (scavanger hunt day 1)
* Asleep at the Wheel (their website)
* Jimmy Dale Gilmore (pollstar.com)
* The Subdudes (their site)
* The Greencards (pollstar.com)
* Kasey Chambers (pollstar.com)
* Buckwheat Zydeco (pollstar.com)

oops...
make that "scavenger".
i need to proofread my posts.

Add The Shins to that list. They are the day 4 scavenger hunt band.

Can someone help me? I went to the the new pornographers website yesterday and I could not find the logo so I gave up. I saw that they were the correct answer for the "Detroit Rock City" clue. This is the onyl question that I missed and I want my chance at the VIP passes. Any idea on how I can still enter that drawing?

you can only answer the question on the day it is posted.

Add Matisyahu. Tripped across the grackle on his website tonight. I assume he is the answer for tomorrow.

I saw on the Pollstar site tonight that John Mayer has been added on the 15th.

matisyahu, cool, ive been wanting to see him live.
also, he is playing almost literally every other major festival, so he was an easy guess

Tom Petty!!

Austin360.com says Massive Attack is confirmed, not sure what their source is:

ACL speculation gone wild!
Already, the lineup for the ACL Festival is making the buzz circuit
Thursday, April 20, 2006

Who would you like to see at ACL Fest 2006?
Let us know.
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers announced on their Web site that they'll be playing the Austin City Limits Music Festival Sunday Sept. 17. British trip-hop pioneers Massive Attack are also confirmed.

The lineup of the fifth annual fest, at Zilker Park Sept. 15- 17, won't be officially announced until May 11, but speculation is rampant om several Web sites, including www.aclrumors.com that such acts as Radiohead, Dave Matthews Band, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Beck, Sufjan Stevens and Bob Dylan are also likely. A source with the ACL Fest ruled out the Chili Peppers and Dylan. Promoter Charles Attal said a couple weeks ago that Radiohead will not be at ACL.

Fest organizers have started a daily "scavenger hunt" on their official site, leaking such confirmed acts as KT Tunstall, New Pornographers, the Shins, Matisyahu, Los Lonely Boys and Son Volt with easy-to-solve clues.

Pollstar.com has also jumped the gun, listing Flaming Lips, Kasey Chambers, John Mayer, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Subdudes and Buckwheat Zydeco.

Hmm, well Radiohead seemed a long shot anyways, and Dylan was always unbacked, same with RHCP. What's cool is that apparently Beck, Sufjan or DMB haven't been ruled out, which is good if we assume that they only ruled those three out on that list.

So far, confirmed acts :
Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
The Flaming Lips
Ben Harper
John Mayer
Los Lonely Boys
Massive Attack
Matisyahu
The Shins
Iron and Wine
The New Pornographers
Ben Kweller
Son Volt
Thievery Corporation
Matt Nathanson
K.T.Tunstall
Asleep at the Wheel
Jimmy Dale Gilmore
The Subdudes
Sleepy Wonder
The Greencards
Kasey Chambers
Robyn Ludwick
Buckwheat Zydeco
Melissa Reaves
Eli Young Band
Elvis Perkins

I'm really excited about Matt Nathanson, but I'm wondering where this info was found. I can't find it on his site or pollstar or anything.

I don't know where the people here have gotten their info, but Matt told some friends of mine after his Dallas show last week that he'd be playing ACL fest this year.

Pollstar reports that Jack Ingram will play on sunday.
