Austin’s other annual music festival, Austin City Limits, might still be six months away (Oct. 2-4), but that hasn’t stopped them from finalizing this year’s lineup. And what a lineup it is. This year’s headliners for the three-day fest include Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews Band, the Beastie Boys and Kings of Leon. Other notables to be featured on the bill are John Legend, Andrew Bird, The Decemberists, and the Dead Weather (Jack White’s new band), on top of some of the Music Mix’s indie favorites: Grizzly Bear, Phoenix, School of Seven Bells and Passion Pit. For the staggering 130-band lineup, head here. Three-day passes will set you back a cool $185 bucks, but with this much talent, that’s a bargain. Who’s already planning on a Texas road trip?

Man, this is so much better than Lollapalooza this year.
Well, the lineup is definitely promising – if I weren’t going to have a baby around that time… I’ll just wait for stuff to pop up on PBS!
Already got my 3-day pass and waiting with anticipation! Some expected and some great surprises too.
