The Austin City Limits Music Festival 2007 official lineup is online. Once again, as always, the diversity of the musical lineup is impressive. This is what makes ACL Fest so special compared to the other major music festivals in America. I already purchased my three day pass a month ago. Here's an initial list of "must see" acts for me.
Additions and changes are bound to happen.
- Bob Dylan (I don't hate, not really a fan, but I might as well since he is the headliner)
- The White Stripes (finally get to see them)
- The Killers (didn't get around to seeing them this past April)
- Arcade Fire (into the third song, I'll try to not almost have a heat stroke, again...no really (ACL Fest '05))
- Muse (yes, I just saw them last month, they're that damn good)
- Queen Of The Stone Age (first time seeing them)
- Bloc Party (love this band, I'm a whore for their live bootlegs)
- Arctic Monkeys (still need to listen to the new album, shame on me)
- Lucinda Williams (couldn't schedule correctly to see here during all of the SXSW craziness)
- Spoon (current favorite Austin, TX band?!!!)
- Blue October (at the last minute, missed their concert this past November)
- Regina Spektor (great music from a gorgeous woman)
- Kaiser Chiefs (haven't seen them since ACL Fest '05)
- LCD Soundsystem (first time seeing him)
- Devotchka (love them on Little Miss Sunshine soundtack)
- *Clap Your Hands Say Yeah (actually holding off on them for now, just saw them couple weeks)
- Ghostland Observatory (best discovery @ ACL Fest '06, their energy during live shows is insane)
- Yo La Tengo (unfortunately missed their show last month, fuck you rain!)
- Young Love (dug his sound & album as soon as I heard it, this will be his fourth time playing in Austin this year)
- Blonde Redhead (glad I didn't buy tickets to their show last week, it was canceled, another rain out, WTF!)
- Sound Team (I'm not completely sold on them, yet)
