I don’t care what you say, this is an amazing lineup. Paul McCartney AND Metallica AND Childish AND Arctic Monkeys AND The National??? And more?? This is amazing
This is pretty fucking great. Nailed it with the headliners much more than any of the other major US festivals. Only complaint would be that it’s pretty top heavy
The electronic portion of the lineup, Justice excluded, feels a bit generic. Odesza, Rezz, San Holo, Illenium, Gryffin, etc play all the big multi genre festivals.
That being said they killed it everywhere else and Justice is nothing to complain about either.
As an Austinite, this is my favorite ACL lineup since I’ve started going. They managed to book some unique acts and avoid the cookie-cutter-lineup problem while balancing their genres really well.
I’m usually more on the EDM side of things but ODESZA, Sylvan Esso (amazing if you haven’t seen them), Rezz, and San Holo will scratch that itch for me. In the meantime I’ll get to cross McCartney off my bucket list (!!!), finally see Childish Gambino, throw down a party with Janelle Monae and Marian Hill, and get way into my feelings with Hozier and Illenium. And, as always, I’ll spend the majority of my time wandering around finding new bands I’ve never heard of that I end up loving after seeing them live.
Sounds pretty cool but I’m gonna keep holding out for the Day for Night lineup if I’m gonna go to Texas for a fest. *edit-Said Austin, should have said Houston, going with Texas 😛
Damnit I bought weekend 1 and just realized I have a wedding to attend then. If anyone wants to buy it off me at face or swap for weekend 2 just let me know.
Good lineup, probably just going to give that Metallica set the widest possible berth. Did ‘roo when they were there (2008?) and did not enjoy the crowd they brought out.
I’m know I’m going to get downvoted for this, but this is probably my least favorite ACL lineup. The headliners are great, but the undercards are so underwhelming or generic for me.

Much improved lineup from last year.

You guys are insane the undercard is stacked
Why are the Wombats so far down the bill? You Americans need to listen to them.
How does the festival work with two weekends? Are some bands only one weekend or are both weekends identical lineups?
Anybody else think somebody will be added to Weekend Two to balance them out more?
I hate these posters that don’t have dates…
I wish they’d put the date on the poster
Might have to buy a one day to see Paul McCartney.
Go see greta van fleet you won’t regret it at all
I’m so stoked. I got a festival passport and this is one I’m not missing
Oh FUCK YES!

Looks like they blew the budget on headliners. Bleh.
