2008 Austin City Limits Music Festival Lineup: Foo Fighters, Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, Beck Present
2008 Austin City Limits Music Festival Lineup: Foo Fighters, Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, Beck as Headlines
It was cool when the Austin City Limits Music Festival leaked a line-up teaser last week in the form of a musical mash-up featuring 29 of the artists playing the 2008 festival. We had fun guessing. Thankfully though, the festival organizers have now put us out of our misery and simply told us who’s playing. All the obsessive speculation can quit, because here the lucky bands be.
The top half (and therefore ostensibly the more important half?) of the poster reads as follows: Foo Fighters, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, Beck (long live the ’90s!), Manu Chao, John Fogerty, David Byrne, The Raconteurs, The Mars Volta, Gnarls Barkley, Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band, N.E.R.D., Erykah Badu, Robert Earl Keen, Patty Griffin, Tegan & Sara, Iron & Wine, G. Love & Special Sauce, Neko Case, Band of Horses, The Swell Season, Silversun Pickups, Gogol Bordello, Gillian Welch, Eli Young Band, The Black Keys, Against Me!, Jakob Dylan and the Gold Mountain Rebels, Okkervil River, Galactic, Kevin Fowler, Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, Hot Chip, Vampire Weekend, Slightly Stoopid, Duffy, Alejandro Escovedo and Roky Erickson.
And all that’s just what’s before the letters get smaller. Some standouts from the rest of the pack include Spiritualized, Drive-By Truckers, Stars, CSS, M. Ward, Yeasayer, Delta Spirit, Mates of State, Colour Revolt, Langhorne Slim, Man Man, MGMT, Jamie Lidell….stopping now. There are enough fantastic bands here, that if we keep going we’ll just have to retype the entire lineup.
To save us the trouble, check out the official poster with all 130 bands here. And get to ticket-buying, because $170 three-day passes are still available at ACLFestival.com. The festival takes place at Austin, Texas’s Zilker Park for the seventh year running, September 26-28.
