Something like Bonnaroo takes a much more serious commitment and tolerance for more lax hygiene practices.

I would love to see PJ and the BB. I've seen KoL six times (they just always seem to be playing where I'm at), but wouldn't mind seeing them again if it were at a festival and nothing else was going on. I'm sort of over the DMB. I was a big fan in high school/beginning of college ('94- 2000). I'm really not a fan of Ghostland Observatory.

More on the PBS chat mentioned on Page 1:

quote:


Terry Lickona, producer of the Austin City Limits festival in Austin, TX recently participated in a chat at pbs.org, and added a little weight to the rumor of their appearance at the festival, which takes place October 2 -4, 2009.

Excerpt:

Lou, Arlington, VA: If you could have any artist on the show — dead or alive — who would it be and why?

Terry Lickona: Dead OR alive?? LOL…nobody has ever quite put the question that way. In the non-living category, I’d have to say that HANK WILLIAMS (the original, not Jr.) would be right up there. Among the living, the obvious names missing from our 35-year history include Springsteen and Dylan…not for lack of trying…but I’ve never been able to break the ice. There are so many classic acts, too numerous to mention, but it was a thrill last year to have REM on our stage, and we’re looking forward to another breakthrough this year with Pearl Jam…but don’t tell anybody… ;-)

I think the tickets cost about the same. Sell the football tickets and bring a radio.
Christian Pulisic FanBoy
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yeah. That's real effective. Listen to the radio at a music festival.

I've looked forward to both for so long.

What did I do to God to deserve this hardship?

ACL tickets, about 180. Below average Aggie Football, 300 in DALLAS. That makes it easy. Plus I always allow myself to miss one Aggie game a year for ACL.

I would make happy in my pants if this lineup is legit. Can't wait for the Official announcement!
jbanda

It looks like we're a couple of months away from the "official" announcement. The tickets always go on sale before the line up is announced. I guess you have to make the choice between cheaper tickets and knowing who is going to be there for sure. I'd say that I'll probably be there.

Well, if PJ doesn't go, I'm not going, so I'm fine.

At this point I'm actually hoping that it doesn't happen.

Yes, I'm selfish.

Keegan,

Isn't Lickona talking about the TV show and not the festival? Because Dylan has been at the festival (2007) and R.E.M. was at the festival in 2003 and on the TV show in 2008.

If you're just going for Pearl Jam, wouldn't you just buy a day pass?

Hell, I don't know how these things work.

He is, but I'd place a big bet on PJ doing them both if they're do the TV show.

i wish talib was there and they had a blackstar reunion. now that would be a bad ass show. coachella always gets these cool reunions, why not ACL? He's a great entertainer btw...

rothbury is getting damien marley w/ NAS, quannum allstars with lyrics born, the mighty underdogs, gift of gab(which is basically blackalicious) & lifesavas, as well as toubab krewe

i'm looking forward to all hip hop acts i'll get to see this summer, so i'm hoping mos def is a legit add.

talib would also be a sick add, but i could also see a bunch of people showing up for aftershows even if they aren't on the bill.

Well, I'm buying tickets when they go on sale regardless.

On the off chance this lineup doesn't come to fruition, I should still be able to unload them at no worse than cost.

will pearl jam play on sunday?
Christian Pulisic FanBoy
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Good question....just want to know that too.

For the ACL and music festival newbie, I'd like to see DMB, Kings of Leon, and Pearl Jam. What do I do?

I already volunteered myself to sleep on either Keegan or Hippies couch.
blinnboy83
How long do you want to ignore this user?
they usually close Fri and Sat nights with a 2 headliners on opposite stages of Zilker Park playing at the same time. Then on Sunday they have one headliner playing by themselves to close out the fest.

If I had to guess if the rumors ive read are all true it would go something like this:

Fri: Beastie Boys and Kings Of Leon
Sat: DMB and Ghostland Observatory
Sun: Pearl Jam

PJ, assuming they play ACL, would close the entire festival on Sunday evening.

Yes, there are single day passes.

Looks like I'll be heading to both Lolla and ACL. There goes the vacation budget. Also, blinnboy83, if somehow it ended up with your headliner schedule, except switching the beasties and Ghostland, then that would be golden.
