Official Austin City Limits Festival Line-Up Discussion Thread

Since the ACL Board is not working at a crucial pre line-up release time. This is your spot to discuss rumors, confirmations, wishlists, etc.

How's the tree doing?

I was there in Feb. and it looked amazing!

[kimn]

JR is the meanest person ever.

Don't get his wife pissed off.

[kimn]

Yay! We have our own sub forum.

[carligula]

Word on the street is that Black Keys, Jack White, Jack Johnson, and Florence and the Machine are all playing. I would have guessed RHCP would be there based on their tour dates, but I can't imagine there would be that much overlap with the Lolla headliners.

I'm thinking Springsteen and Bon Iver will round out the top 6.

[MadBird11]

Excuse me Carl. Could you explain to me why Texas gets its own subforum but we can't get regular subforums?

[carligula]

Excuse me Carl. Could you explain to me why Texas gets its own subforum but we can't get regular subforums?

Because an entire messageboard for another C3-sponsored festival was disabled and absorbed into this one (thanks to the efforts of kimn).

[MadBird11]

I get that.

What I'm asking is since you now have the powers to do that, can you create other subforums? Like an other festivals one? Or one where you can lock Buzz and BDBU in until they kiss and make up?

[Nature Boy]

Welcome Texas.

Please don't be as mean as Hansford and Sutton.

fuck hugh

[El Goodo]

[rockrdudetim]

oh hey, it's that other festival.

Please don't quote spam.

[Jake888]

I thought someone made this up making fun of the spam which overran the ACL board. Didn't know it was actual spam.

[BearDownBoilerUp]

im confused because last i checked the ACL board was a ghost town. where did all you people come from?

[Jake888]

Locations with Scratch Off Tickets:


Austin Visitor Center // 209 E. 6th Street
Sugar Mama’s Bakeshop // 1905 S. 1st Street (OPENS AT 12PM)
Leighelena // 1714 South Congress (OPENS AT 1030AM)
Coolhaus // 6th & Waller (OPENS AT 4PM)
Schatzelein // 1713 S. 1st Street (OPENS AT 11AM)
Sweet Leaf Tea Co // 3601 S. Congress Ave; D-100
Bird’s Barbershop // 905 E. 41st Street

[kimn]

Geez, my first spam delete on the Lolla board. Feels like old home.

[JR Dill]

Snow Patrol hinted at their return for ACL last night at their Austin show. So far from scratch offs I'm hearing Steve Earle, Quiet Company, Delta Spirit. Someone on the ACL Facebook mentioned Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Black Keys, but I'm skeptical of this.

[carligula]

The Lolla lineup page just bumped Afghan Whigs to the end of the billing and they're no longer showing up in the daily breakdown. When you go to their band page, it says they're playing October 12th. Maybe someone confused the Lolla page with the ACL page.

So weird how these things work. They also now have more than 9,000 lineup adds, which in actuality is probably closer to 1,000.

[brynrich]

Man, Madbird is making a great first impression in here

[JR Dill]

Update incase you haven't been able to catch up on the lottery tickets:

Jack White (thanks for making up for half of what we were excited for in '07)
The Black Keys
Andrew Bird
Bon Iver
Alabama Shakes
Delta Spirit
Quiet Company
Steve Earle
Punch Brothers
Kimbra
Zola Jesus
LP
A-Trak
Berrington Levy
Freelance Whales
Childish Gambino
Esperanza Spalding

That's all I've heard of so far. Excited about Jack White and Andrew Bird!

[carligula]

Jack White (thanks for making up for half of what we were excited for in '07)


I think that's being a bit generous on behalf of Meg.

I am... !

but I'm planning on being there at ACL again this year. Love coming down to Austin!

[kimn]

Did they just add the Avett Brothers?

[carligula]

My in-laws are considering a trip to ACLFest. Anybody have cheap hotel recommendations? I see that the Doubletree University is under $200/night, but it's pretty far. Is public transportation to Zilker pretty manageable? Does the shuttle pick up anywhere other than Guadalupe and 4th? The link for last year's info has expired.

[carligula]

Did they just add the Avett Brothers?

No, they were part of the initial announcement.

[kimn]

JUST ANNOUNCED: Garbage is coming to La Zona Rosa 10/10! (Rescheduled date from canceled 4/21 show). All previous tix purchases will be honored. Tix onsale 7/13 @ 10AM thru c3concerts.com

Very possible sub for ACL.

[zircona1]

Is public transportation to Zilker pretty manageable? Does the shuttle pick up anywhere other than Guadalupe and 4th? The link for last year's info has expired.

The shuttle only picked up/dropped off at 4th and Guadalupe all 3 years I went.

[carligula]

Thanks. That's what I thought. How far is the walk from the drop-off point? Do they go all the way to the entrance? Are public buses an option?

[borracho]

the drop-off is right at the gate. shuttle can be a cluster at the end of the night with long waits (30-45 min?). public transport is not an option to the fest as far as i know. i know there are some pedi-cabs that get real close, but i've never used one so i can't give you more details as far as cost or exactly where they end up.

[carligula]

Pedi-cabs, huh? I'll bet some industrious folks make a killing that weekend.

Thanks again for all the info.

[kimn]

Downtown parking and using the shuttle is convienient but can be time consuming. You can park at Parker Center for about 7.00 a day and walk from 1st street, we usually bite the bullet and park nearby at Shady Grove for 25.00 a day. That way we can dump our stuff and go get a bite to eat.

[discdreadsndoulos]

This probably doesn't affect too many people here, but my secret sale ACL tickets shipped today.

[kimn]

Wonder when the schedule will come out? Any theories?

[discdreadsndoulos]

Right now?

[kimn]

Really starting to get excited about october.

polyphionic spree confirm themselves for ACL 2013 among others

[muthastone]

FWIW. music writer in austin, tx (michael corcoran) says a legit source has told him the following will be in Zilker Park this year:

The Cure
Kings of Leon
Depeche Mode
Muse
Atoms for Peace

[Driftwood]

That doesn't seem believable.

[SecondSet]

3.3 Euro headliners for a festival in Austin, TX. Sounds completely reliable to me.

[agenthal]

Pretty confident Muse will be one of them. They said awhile back during a Twitter Q&A that they were hoping to play Mexico next October.

[Driftwood]

Pretty confident Muse will be one of them. They said awhile back during a Twitter Q&A that they were hoping to play Mexico next October.

Muse was a 2 in 2010. Seems crazy to come back in just three years.

FWIW. music writer in austin, tx (michael corcoran) says a legit source has told him the following will be in Zilker Park this year:

The Cure
Kings of Leon
Depeche Mode
Muse
Atoms for Peace

They would screw up the scheduling for this.

[muthastone]

http://consequenceofsound.net/2013/03/depeche-mode-announces-u-s-tour/


first headliner?

[ThePecanSandies]

Hope so.

[muthastone]

maybe this austin music writer is correct?

first depeche mode, and now the cure looking likely for lolla.

[ThePecanSandies]

I was thinking the same thing. I just find it hard to believe that DP and the Cure will both be there because they typically only have one "legacy" act. But if this guy is right, it also makes me think the Kings of Leon will be at Lolla because there is always some overlap with ACL and Lolla headliners with C3.

[muthastone]

when did ACL announce the lineup last year?

and does the festival usually sell out before any lineup announcement?

[muthastone]

3.3 Euro headliners for a festival in Austin, TX. Sounds completely reliable to me.


Atoms for Peace look likely as well now.

[ThePecanSandies]

when did ACL announce the lineup last year?

and does the festival usually sell out before any lineup announcement?

Last year, May 21 (http://www.brooklynvegan.com/austin/2012/05/2012_acl_fest_l.html). In 2011, it was May 17 (http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2011/05/austin_city_lim_5.html).

And no - at least in the last two years - it didn't sell out before the lineup announcement. It sells out pretty quick though (http://austinist.com/2012/05/23/acl_fest_update_3_day_friday_and_sa.php).

[LoT183]

They put the last 3 days on sale the day of the line-up announcement usually. But its hard to get them usually, even if you are there right when they go onsale. Though this year should be better with the two weekends.

So the five names (Depeche, Cure, Muse, AfP, KoL) are looking more and more likely I'd say. But, how are they going to schedule that? I feel like Depeche, The Cure, Muse, and AfP would have some crossover. I'm really hoping Depeche or Atoms for Peace get a big 90 minute non-headlining slot (which ACL has done in the past) so I can see all four.

Depeche into The Cure (or Atoms for Peace into the Cure too) on Sunday would be pretty awesome.

[kimn]

Sadly, I see some Mumford and Sons in the ACL mix.

[ThePecanSandies]

I thought so too, but they just announced two nights in Austin (http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/music/2013/03/25/mumford-and-sons-tour/2018661/) for their summer tour. Still totally possible though.

[muthastone]

hopefully they stay far far away from ACL

Lol at thinking Depeche Mode would get a non-headlining slot. Lol at thinking C3 gives a shit about "crossover".

I'm still not convinced on Muse fwiw.

[agenthal]

I feel like these rumors look even more legit now with Lolla's lineup. The Cure is the sharing headliner with Lolla, Depeche Mode's SXSW thing, and since KoL didn't show up (I expect them at Lolla next year now), and Muse camp rumors... Only one that I hesitate about it AFP.

[ThePecanSandies]

Seems unlikely that both the Cure and Depeche Mode will headline, but I'd be all for it. I actually think AFP will be there. Fits right into their tour schedule (http://tickets.waste.uk.com/Store/DisplayItems.html).

[nikkirkpatrick]

I still think tha writer mistook C3 being in negotiations with the Cure for Lolla as them playing ACL.

Cure/Depeche/AFP is dreary as fuck.

[concertgoer]

Muse and Kol will brighten things up!

[agenthal]

I still think tha writer mistook C3 being in negotiations with the Cure for Lolla as them playing ACL.

Cure/Depeche/AFP is dreary as fuck.

While I don't think The Cure should be #1 there, who else would be the unopposed headliner? Idk. They could have, but usually both fests do share a headliner.

[Driftwood]

Mumsons will be the shared headliner. Maybe The Killers too.

[concertgoer]

I am not sure if this would rule them out but Mumsons have a show in Austin in June.

[Driftwood]

Yeah I really don't see The Cure coming back so quickly after Lolla (can they stick around NA for that entire stretch?)

Depeche Mode and AFP make a lot of sense. Muse coming back would still be a ridiculously quick repeat for a top 3 act.

I could easily see Mumsons being the unopposed headliner (hmm didn't know about htat Austin show ...)

Of course maybe ACL decides to adopt the Coachella strategy of feeling they need to draw from the international crowd during non-peak festival season to make 2 weekends work. Then all bets are out the window.

[muthastone]

there are rumblings now of a Pearl Jam southern tour starting sometime in Sept. and headlining voodoo fest.

maybe C3 booked them for int'l lollas and ACL?

[agenthal]

Pearl Jam would be great. ACL should get rid of the Sunday unopposed if they're doing two weekends. I'd love that.

[ThePecanSandies]

With a new album (http://www.nme.com/news/kings-of-leon/69429) coming out in the fall, I feel like ACL makes sense for Kings of Leon. They're touring the UK all summer (with some US fests), so a US tour in the fall seems likely, too.

[concertgoer]

I think Phoenix makes a lot of sense as a crossover headliner and they will be touring America in October.

[kimn]

Kings of Leon, Phoenix, VW, Mumford. Austin doesn't have the same scope clauses as Chicago.

[LoT183]

There's no way Mumford is playing. They are doing TWO nights at a 14k venue, and they are playing that in June when the ACL line-up usually gets announced mid-May, and I do not see ACL announcing one of their biggest headliners as a late add, they have never done that before as far as I know

I still believe the Cure/Depeche/AFP/Muse/KoL thing. That may be more hopefulness then expectations but whatever. I think they'll add The Killers or Phoenix or Nine Inch Nails to that (I'm really hoping they stop doing the unopposed Sunday headliner thing). Though the Killers are playing Austin in May too (though smaller venue then Mumford and only one night, not two, and in early May)

The only one on that list I'm iffy on is The Cure, I think all the others are very likely (save maybe KoL, I don't know much about their plans, but they'd make sense). Pearl Jam could definitely be a real option if The Cure is out. Or they could have two of the three names I mentioned above. I could see Kings of Leon/Depeche/Nine Inch Nails/Muse/AFP/Phoenix

[agenthal]

Thank god for no Mumford. I really hope.

[Jorge]

So when do they release the lineup?

[ThePecanSandies]

Mid-May.

[DeltaSigChi4]

What happened to the ACL board? - E

[sleeping]

What happened to the ACL board?
This is it now.

[muthastone]

Vampire Weekend has a random Oct 8th date announced.

[Jorge]

Phoenix also will come back to the States in October after touring in Europe. They just announced an Oct. 2nd date in NY.

[dr. ace]

Lineup will be announced on May 7.

[concertgoer]

Depeche Mode
Muse
Kings of Leon
Phoenix
Atoms For Peace

[concertgoer]

“due to the demand for three-day passes, and the increasing number of attendees that buy multiple single-day tickets each year, single-day tickets will no longer be available.”

[agenthal]

Depeche Mode
Muse
Kings of Leon
Phoenix
Atoms For Peace

I am completely ok with this. Please put Muse vs KoL though haha. I'm glad no more single day tickets, they're annoying. I really think they're trying to go full Coachella format and are going to do camping either next year or the year after... probably waiting to see how this year goes.

[levi1994]

Depeche Mode
Muse
Kings of Leon
Phoenix
Atoms For Peace

ACL doesnt repeat headliners right? So I would assume Muse (2007), Kings of Leon (2009), and Pearl Jam (2009) would be out of the mix for headliners.

[symbionese]

would you assume?

[concertgoer]

ACL doesnt repeat headliners right? So I would assume Muse (2007), Kings of Leon (2009), and Pearl Jam (2009) would be out of the mix for headliners.

[levi1994]

Coldplay and Arcade Fire were repeat headliners in 2010.

Coldplay played in 2011, and wasnt Kanye the main headliner?
I believe they played at past ACL festivals but werent headliners. I could be wrong
I remember reading somewhere that ACL doesnt repeat headliners and going through past years line ups it seems to hold true, Arcade Fire played a couple of times, once was a headlining spot (2011), the other was 2007 but didnt headline.
Either way im looking forward to coming back to ACL for the first time since 2006.

[muthastone]

im thinking based off how lolla has their top 2 lines

The Cure - Kings of Leon - Muse - Depeche Mode

Phoenix - Atoms for Peace - Vampire Weekend

ACL has five headliners every year and Arcade Fire and Coldplay have both headlined twice.

[CanadianBacon41]

Didnt see this posted yet and if it has already then i apologize.... but the lineup will be announced May 7th at 12:01am CST with tickets going on sale that same morning at 10:00am CST.

Any chance for Arcade Fire? Please for the love of all that is good no Mumsons...

[kimn]

I see a different legacy type band in there besides The Cure. I'm just not feeling it. I could see a repeat of Pearl Jam or Tom Petty.

[kimn]

No chance for Arcade Fire, I would almost bet even with their frequent appearances in Austin earlier in the summer, I wouldn't doubt that Mumford and Sons will be there.

[muthastone]

I see a different legacy type band in there besides The Cure. I'm just not feeling it. I could see a repeat of Pearl Jam or Tom Petty.

Pearl Jam makes sense. They are doing Voodoo Fest and maybe C3 signed them to a multi-fest deal?

[nikkirkpatrick]

Bruce. Book it.

[muthastone]

Bruce. Book it.

I'd hit that

[levi1994]

The selfish part of me would love to see Mumford, just b/c I had to sell my Mumford tixs to see them in Brooklyn earlier this year b/c of family reasons.
Pearl Jam would be AMAZING!
C3 puts on Voodoo fest in addition to Lolla and ACL?

No they don't.

But Pearl Jam did do Lolla Brazil and Chile, maybe C3 has them doing ACL as well.

[LoT183]

Bruce. Book it.

This could be very possible, I remember someone saying he's doing more US touring this year (unless I made that up) and he STILL hasn't hit Texas.

Bruce or The Cure would go a long ways towards selling me on ACL over Voodoo. Can't think of much else (that's possible/likely) that would. I'd probably lean towards Voodoo if ACL got PJ or Tom Petty instead (I know ACL's line-up will be much deeper but I want to visit NOLA again, considering I'll be in Austin for Fun Fun Fun like a month after ACL, and Voodoo doesn't seem as crowded which is a big plus to me)

[agenthal]

Muse confirmed at about 32:04 http://www.livestream.com/adlitteramtv/video?clipId=pla_99616ee9-2a9e-4899-a72d-8e20acf77639

[concertgoer]

A poster on the Coachella board who apparently pegged Pearl Jam for Voodoo before the lineup announcement is saying they are locked in for ACL.

[nikolajz1]

You going CG? Gonna make it 4/4 on the big fests?

[concertgoer]

High unlikely with MOEMS being two weeks later

[kimn]

I would think The National are a good bet for ACL.

[kimn]

No leaks out there yet?

[levi1994]

No leaks out there yet?

Consequence of Sound Festival Outlook has:
Atoms For Peace: Logical
Wild Cub: Confirmed

[levi1994]

Consequence of Sound added:
Muse: Confirmed
Depeche Mode: Rumored

[agenthal]

Just to doubly confirm, I was talking to one of the 101X presenters and he said Muse had already been confirmed to him via their management, and Phoenix via their label. I won't say which presenter in case they get in trouble but if you are really curious just find him in my Facebook friends haha.

So, Muse, Phoenix... with Pearl Jam, Depeche Mode, Atoms for Peace maybe?

[nikkirkpatrick]

i bet AfP gets the one hour faux headlining slot before the unopposed headliner. still think that's bruce but whatevs.

[agenthal]

This would make me happy since then I wouldn't miss them.

[ThePecanSandies]

I agree. I think Bruce will be unopposed with Kings of Leon, Muse, Depeche Mode and Phoenix. AfP, Vampire Weekend and The National probably subbing.

[kimn]

Is Springsteen just a wide ass guess or is there some juice to it?

[nikkirkpatrick]

he's been avoiding texas all year.

[kimn]

I wish I could do that.

[nikkirkpatrick]

truth. if he's doing it for no reason, i couldn't blame him for a second.

[sleeping]

I wish I could do that.
bon_mot.txt

[kimn]

He is starting a tour in Rio on 9/21, a couple warm up shows for texas? It could happen.

[levi1994]

Someone pointed out on CoS that ZZ Top is playing ACL Live on Oct. 9th. Their next show after that is Oct. 18th in Oklahoma. So they'll be around Austin for both weekends.

[LoT183]

Not counting SXSW, he hasn't done a Texas date at all on this tour, last year or this year. I also remember reading somewhere that he was coming back to the US at the end of this year, but I don't remember the source on that so I'm not sure

if its a taping, put them down as playing. if its just a regular show, then I doubt ACL would let them announce that before the ACL line-up came out

[levi1994]

Got some confirmations through CoS
Fun.
Grouplove
Shovels & Rope
The True Believers

[dr. ace]

Looks like I'm trying for tickets tomorrow.

[franchinboy]

Do we think both weekends are going to sell out fast? I personally love this lineup but hard to tell.

[DeltaSigChi4]

Is this where I state that this line-up sucks?

I hope so.

This line-up sucks!

[levi1994]

Let me preface by saying the following is my opinion and my opinion only, I know the majority of people will think im an idiot, i dont know music, etc......

Im not down for this lineup. I was never into 80s New Wave growing up and 30 years later im still not into New Wave and to have Depeche Mode and The Cure as 2 headliners is very disheartening. I can honestly say that I dont listen to any of these bands at all except for Lionel Ritchie, a little QOTSA, and some Kendrick Lamar, the only other band i would be looking forward to is Charlie Walker and the Dynamites. I have 9000+ songs on my ipod and I might have 2 songs of Muse, 2 of Phoenix, and thats about it from the rest of the bands in this lineup. Unfortunately im stuck coming b/c I already got my plane tickets, and my friend booked a hotel that is non-refundable. If I could get a full refund for everything I would and take my $$$ to the Bottle Rock Festival. Out of all the festival lineups, I think this is the weakest one in my opinion. Where is Macklemore and Ryan Lewis? Major Lazer? Ben Harper and Charlie Musselwhite? Hometown boy Gary Clark Jr? Thievery Corporation? The Lumineers? Michael Franti and Spearhead? Jurassic 5? Trombone Shorty? How could Outside Lands get Paul McCartney but ACL gets The Cure? I always thought of ACL as the premier music festival but after this lineup I think ACL is probably on the downturn for festivals.

[concertgoer]

This is insanely stacked top tier of the lineup. Queens Of The Stone Age, Arctic Monkeys and Franz Ferdinand wont even be subs, so I don't know how anyone can say that this festival is heading towards a downturn.

[symbionese]

I was never into 80s New Wave growing up and 30 years later im still not into New Wave and to have Depeche Mode and The Cure as 2 headliners is very disheartening.

you should be ok -- not disheartened -- then.

[kimn]

I agree that they didn't get a earth-shattering headliner, but the lineup is stacked with gems. I can't even to begin to think about the conflicts.

[nikkirkpatrick]

Ya, lineup needs moar eagles.

[kimn]

Ya, lineup needs moar eagles.

I think The Cure and Depeche Mode are great bill toppers. Was refering to the guy that wondered why OL got McCartney and ACL didn't

[carligula]

This is one hell of a top half of a lineup. I'm glad no one bet me that Depeche Mode AND Cure would be on this lineup-- I never thought that would happen at a C3 fest. I'm going through all the scenarios I can involving TX family and the baby to figure out if I can swing this. I'm thinking odds are around 8% right now.

[kimn]

How fast do you think its going to sell out?

[nizzle]

immediately.
but it never really sells out.

also, LOL at levi's dream fest. sorry bud, but that lineup would be godawful.

hope you and amysue can swing it with baby in tow, carl.

i, too, am disappointed there isn't a springsteen or fogery on this lineup, but that middle tier is unbelievable.

[kimn]

Without the single day sales, there should be a lot more allotted to 3 days. As I remember, he last tier of tickets at 200.00 didn't sell out immediately. Regardless, I am getting mine today.

[Danny23]

Man this has thrown a spanner in the works, a festival which has took my favs out of Lolla (Phoenix, Local Natives and Kendrick) as well as Arctics, SSPU and Tame Impala.

Does this sell out before the schedule coming out? I'd like to compare all the schedules between ACL/Lolla/Osheaga before deciding which one to go to.

[nizzle]

this is the first year where they haven't done single-days, danny, so it's pretty hard to gauge how quickly it'll sell out. schedules don't usually come out till next month, but yeah, that could be my dealbreaker as well. almost all my favorite bands from this lineup will undoubtedly play between 3 and 7 pm.

[KevBlu42]

I refuse to believe levi is a real person.

[kimn]

I got my tickets, whew. Got a little nervous in the queue waiting.

[nikkirkpatrick]

I think The Cure and Depeche Mode are great bill toppers. Was refering to the guy that wondered why OL got McCartney and ACL didn't

i was just joshin' anyways.

that guy is kinda a doof.

[kimn]

I counted less than 20 repeats between Lolla and ACL. Wasn't there like over 40 last year? C3 must have listened.

[muthastone]

how is Zilker Park compared to Grant Park?

I get the feeling it's smaller.

[symbionese]

one's in texas. the other -- illinois.

[kimn]

Much smaller than Grant park, less urban feel. It is still a hike from one end to the other.

[muthastone]

im not sure how they are gonna schedule this. from previous years, it looks like they had 2 main stage headliners except for Sunday which was just 1 main stage headliner.

from previous C3 billings, they have 9 potential headliners with this lineup.

[kimn]

They will figure it out. Remember, it's a whole new ball game with the 2 weekend. They might really brreak away from the norm and blow our minds. Doubt it, but maybe.

[Byrone]

so does anyone know roughly how many adds are coming?

i'm a little surprised kurt vile isn't on the lineup. chromatics would be a great add, too, if they aren't already playing elsewhere.

[kimn]

Remember when they billed it at 130 bands on 8 stages? They hardly ever actually had 130 bands. They don't promote that anymore. Adds aren't always to rule anymore.

[arbee]

Is this where I state that this line-up sucks?

I hope so.

This line-up sucks!

2/2

[Byrone]

anyone know about when the schedule is coming? aftershows?

[nikkirkpatrick]

atoms for peace confirmed for both sundays. probably playing the 60 minute closing slot other side of the park from the unopposed headliner.

[arbee]

well at least i know where i won't be.

[muthastone]

atoms for peace confirmed for both sundays. probably playing the 60 minute closing slot other side of the park from the unopposed headliner.

i would imagine the unopposed headliner is the Cure?

[nikkirkpatrick]

That's my guess, but they put AF unopposed that one year. Who was it in 2012?

[concertgoer]

Depeche Mode are billed #1 so I would think they would be the Sunday headliner.

[arbee]

My Top 10:

1. Depeche Mode
2. The Cure

next 5: Widowspeak, Local Natives, Wild Belle*, Pinback*, Fidlar

(* seeing for the first time)

[arbee]

I'll probably see QOTSA, The National, Tame Impala, VW, Widowspeak schedule permitting. I like The National, VW and TI, but i have seen them a lot, so they drop on the priority list. Only Lionel Richie is a first timer for me, hence the relatively high position.

[Byrone]

yeah, when i have schedule conflicts, i usually go with the act i haven't seen yet.

there's like a whole other tier of bands i would see, if nothing else interesting was playing at the same time.
