So a few of the bands playing ACL Festival have been leaked through various websites..... here is what we have seen so far:

Tom Petty
John Mayer
Green Day
Randy Rogers Band
Wilco
Asleep At The Wheel
Sonvolt
and more

That sucks.

Pardon my ignorance but what does ACL stand for? Austin City Limits? Or?

Yep.

If I don't get down there before Sept., this may be my TX trip this year.

I would love to scoop the bloggers on three of those names:
could I ask to see your sources or info about Green Day, RRB & Wilco??
the others you list ARE confirmed, the complete confirmed list thus far is

as per
aclfest2006rumors.blogspot.com/
&
aclrumors.com/groupee
the two sources beyond the official PBS site & scavenger hunt contest which have proven themselves to have the best information
more are being revealed each day & the rest of official list will be public by May 11th...

sure, I just love knowing everything - but this would be my fourth ACL fest & the GF's third & so we've been following this closely & participated in the scanvenger hunt contest etc...
but we're considering skipping this year & each tidbit of info helps us reach a decision
I love it & am leaning towards going back, she loves it too but is leaning towards doing something else instead like Winfield (Walnut Valley Festival which is once again the same weekend as ACL)

Two of them were on Pollstar this morning and then pulled down later and the tird comes from first hand knowledge.

EXCELLENT THANKS!!!!!

I see this on pollstar now too...
Sat 09/16/06 Wade Bowen Midnight Rodeo

a night time show for Austin that weekend

worth noting...

Also, Jason Boland & The Stragglers on 9/17, BMI Stage whatever that means.

mP have I told you lately that I love you?

uh, wait? the 17th is THURSDAY????

no fest on thurs???????

9/17 is a Sunday and the last day of the festival.

YEAH YOU RIGHT

MY BAD
no excuses

You know.... Green Day is the one I am skeptical about. There have been rumors and then it was seen on Pollstar, but they are not on tour at that time. It would be the coolest thing to see them at Zilker though.

My friend got 2 of the $35 passes, guess I am looking at $115 for the 3-day pass if I go.....anyone got any other ideas?

your friend was lucky that $35 deal was impossible for most people
I think the 20 they had set aside at that price were sold before the PBS server had finished sending out the mail-list
seriously - whatever the thechnology is I know people who responded INSTANTLY & were shut out cause it was sold out.
it is well worth way more than they charge for it
although theyve gone a little too "modern rock" for my tastes lately it is one of the premiere music festivals in the country

I'd buy them now if I were you. They just keep going up from here on out unless you buy them from someone else. I plan on going this year too!

Thanks for the advice, I just hate to buy the passes before I get airfare figured out but I guess I could always sell them if I don't make it. At the $35 price, you could only buy 2 and the second one was promised to a friend flying in from Virginia....I'm still looking for other options!

Heather, I will see you in August and September!
