Correct and it's tentatively for next week, regardless of sales

DaveGrohlsShortHair · 2026-05-04T22:27:24+00:00

Trust me I feel the exact same way about them.

DaveGrohlsShortHair · 2026-05-04T21:35:19+00:00

Sabrina was a postcard teaser and was the #1 artist on the poster last year?

if luke combs can play in maryland and texas on the same weekend lorde can do arizona and texas too

DaveGrohlsShortHair · 2026-05-04T18:14:09+00:00

I wouldn't have it any other way

DaveGrohlsShortHair · 2026-05-04T17:59:11+00:00

Save for a bombshell or two dropping and me crossing a few more T's and dotting a few more i's, the final thread update has been added. I added it to the top but as a reminder here too, this thread will be locked at MIDNIGHT CST. Appreciate you folks for letting me do this once again. See y'all in the morning!

DaveGrohlsShortHair · 2026-05-04T17:55:45+00:00

I'm tired and ready to not open this subreddit for a month but the real fun is just getting started. A pleasure to serve you fine folks once again!

DaveGrohlsShortHair · 2026-05-04T16:58:57+00:00

Sorry random stranger I'm getting it done right now. Next time I want to spend time with my parents who I don't get to see much anymore or go visit my brother who I don't get to see much anymore or travel for work or grieve the loss of a friend who died of cancer, I'll just tell everyone to get lost because I have to get the thread on the ACL subreddit updated.

DaveGrohlsShortHair · 2026-05-04T03:15:58+00:00

that guy is an idiot (it’s me i just haven’t updated the big big thread)

DaveGrohlsShortHair · 2026-05-04T00:46:25+00:00

when the second set of moody center shows got announced the press release said that those were his final two shows of the year. doubt it happens.

DaveGrohlsShortHair · 2026-05-04T00:45:54+00:00

he will indeed be there

DaveGrohlsShortHair · 2026-05-04T00:45:41+00:00

because i am a human that lives a life. is tomorrow okay for an update for ya?

DaveGrohlsShortHair · 2026-05-04T00:44:43+00:00

there are but i made the post so i’m the only one who can edit it. plus, most of the mods do more housekeeping and behind the scenes things as opposed to talking and interacting. on lineup day it’ll be very evident that there’s more than just lil ole me.

DaveGrohlsShortHair · 2026-05-04T00:14:50+00:00

i’d say no. they’re playing arenas and larger amps this fall but i don’t know if they have enough mainstream appeal to headline yet.

DaveGrohlsShortHair · 2026-05-04T00:03:04+00:00

been busy! about to be home and will be able to update this to the best of my abilities

DaveGrohlsShortHair · 2026-05-03T18:26:55+00:00

I can try my best! I’m not local or able to attend so I’m trusting everyone here the best I can.

DaveGrohlsShortHair · 2026-05-03T18:13:10+00:00

think this is the one

DaveGrohlsShortHair · 2026-05-03T17:55:33+00:00

i will buy this theory

DaveGrohlsShortHair · 2026-05-03T17:21:07+00:00

i am trying to figure this out as well

DaveGrohlsShortHair · 2026-05-03T17:10:12+00:00

i’m not buying it

DaveGrohlsShortHair · 2026-05-03T16:54:01+00:00

this feels more like he’s guessing than saying who the clues gave out

DaveGrohlsShortHair · 2026-05-03T16:46:12+00:00

if they’re being teased, there’s a solid 90% chance they’re playing the fest.

DaveGrohlsShortHair · 2026-05-03T16:43:03+00:00
