Seems logical to me BBH.

I wonder what the percentage of people are who printed their tickets.

Cat Stevens is no headliner. and this is ACL not the edgefest..the killers arent a headliner either

Eh, the Killers have a huge fanbase now. I don't think they're any smaller than John Mayer, I could see them getting that 75 minute 2nd stage slot.

Believe me, I'd rather they not headline, but it seems logical. They were scheduled to play last year, and have played in the past.

I do agree thou that if this is the lineup..that late afternoon-evening band decision making is gonna suck

Yeah, I remember The Killers playing one of the smaller stages early in the afternoon on a Friday back in '04 I think. Seems crazy to think about that now.

That was aroudn the time i saw The Killers open for Stellastarr at Trees in Dallas. oh where are they now? ha

Confirmed Acts thus far include Asleep at the Wheel, Blue Mother Tupelo, Raul Malo, Reverend Horton Heat, Robert Earl Keen, Eli Young, The Dynamites featuring Charles Walker, The Jellydots, Christina Bell, Charlie Musselwhite, Ryan Bueter, Kevin Gordon, Sara Hickman, Kings of Leon, Andrew Bird, and Ben Kweller. All acts have been confirmed via myspace and other sources, Austin City Limits has NOT officially posted the line up.

A recent interview with Charles Attal on austin360 provided these helpful pieces of information: The Police are definitely not playing ACL. They have got dates in Amsterdam during ACL. ACL festival booker Charles Attal also stated that Pearl Jam is not on the bill either. When asked about the Smashing Pumpkins or the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Attal responded that the headliners are even bigger. Charles Attal later confirmed that Radiohead was not on the bill due to scheduling conflicts.

Any band that is headling their own arena tour (the Killers) is big enough to be a headliner, whether you think they like them or not is besides the point.

the acl wikipedia site says that headliners are bob dylan and neil young performing together

^^^Total fabricated lie.

If the Killers close out a night, I'm outta there.
