I would like to see a return this year to some of the more traditional Austin/ACL acts like"

--Ben Kweller (new record...should be a no-brainer)
--Spoon
--Ghostland Observatory
--Wilco

In addition, I would like to see the following:
--Muse (best band there in 2006)
--Arctic Monkeys
--The Thermals (should have a new album out by then)
--The Blakes
--The Dandy Warhols
--Brian Jonestown Massacre (be a great addition at kiddie limits ... jk)
--Albert Hammond Jr. (or The Strokes)
--Manchester Orchestra

Other, smaller Bands I would like to see invited
--The Faint
--Summerbirds in the Cellar
--Dead Confederate
--Monotonix

Okay, thats it for now. Cant wait til someone has some real info to post.

Probably wont be able to go because my baby is due July 8th but Phish would get me there

dude... no phish... That would be a frat boy convention. No one wants ACL to turn into that

I agree, no phish.

Any ideas on who might be the headliners this year? normally I have somewhat of an idea but not this year !

Seems like there is alot of leftovers from last year's festival(s)...

Don't hate on Phish, fratdaddy's or not.. I can block them out for some good jams.

I want to see thievery corp, animal collective and Galactic on the lineup.

And hopefully Radiohead but that won't happen

Or Daft Punk, but I don't think that will happen either

And also Blur, Arcade Fire, and STS9

animal collective, st. vincent, tegan and sara

I'm going to predict Dave Matthews Band as I see their summer tour dates have been released and they will be in Oklahoma on Oct 2nd.....a lil pop across the border will take them to Austin for the closing night.


Would LOVE to see Thievery Corporation again as well as Fleet Foxes, Band of Horses, Coldplay and the ever hopeful Radiohead. The Dixie Chicks would be cool,Martin Sexton,Al Green, Ray LaMontagne, Galactic. Hell....I'm not too worried..ACL always delivers!

CindyC, I think you're right about DMB. I went straight here after I saw their schedule.

I am with most everyone else here, no Phish. I could live without DMB too. I like some of Cindy's suggestions. Fleet Foxes and Coldplay would be great.

DMB=as many fratdaddys as PHISH...

Modest mouse would be nice, they just started a tour...

ACL always has one Classic Rockstar or band, any idea who that'll be, Steve Miller would be cool he was touring last year

WHITE STRIPES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mmj finally taking a headlining spot? that's what i'm looking for

It would be great to see Kings Of Leon, My Morning Jacket, The Hold Steady. I think Neil Young and Wilco both have new albums coming out this year.
