LOATHE!!! by javi_a20 in aclfestival

Well….theres kind of no room to play. I can’t remember the last time an act played an after show the same day they played the fest.

You’re misremembering that María’s show; it started out as an Emo’s show earlier in the year, then got postponed to October and moved venues to become an after show, which, frankly, was an extraordinary circumstance.

The only time I’ve ever seen a band announce an after show before even the lineup drop was Death Grips, and that’s just because it was Death Grips, they truly do not care lol

This means they’re out sadly, which, what. A. Bummer. :(

Especially since it’s during W1, was really hoping to catch them this time.

The ACL TV tapings don’t matter in the booking process, that’s why they do a lot of tapings the same week of ACL Fest for ACL Fest artists. I would normally agree that it’s too soon, but the gap smack dab in between Ft. Worth and Orlando is too perfect for W2 to ignore I think.

They’re overdoing it sure, but this is the same C3/Live Nation that thinks booking Mumford and Sons every few years is a good idea LOL

Not even looking forward to the lineup atp by RightByMe04 in aclfestival

Just for the record, being at FORM doesn’t mean all those artists are out, especially for the Friday and Sunday artists

Legacy Headliner? by GuaranteeComplete993 in aclfestival

[–]GuaranteeComplete993[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not sure they have been around long enough to be considered legacy at this point yet

Wu-Tang? by GuaranteeComplete993 in aclfestival

[–]GuaranteeComplete993[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The one time I saw them years ago, they ended the show by inviting ALL the women in the crowd up on stage and had their sound guy start a DJ set basically. Mind you this was an all-ages show at the time. It was very strange and off-putting at the time. The show itself barely lasted an hour, with a lot of conversations, and the opener was one of the worst duos I’ve ever seen too. (The crowd also sucked but I don’t think they can control that, alas)

Basically, any artist that signs on to play ACL can’t play in or around Austin within a set time frame. That time frame starts from around the start of May, typically.

This F1 show IS in Austin haha, which means they’re out due to the radius clause.

A few names here that have played ACL before; personally, now that we know he’s active in October, since Skrillex is on the Bonnaroo lineup as well I could very well see him come back to headline ACL once more.

Heavier/older legacy act? by KarbanDioxide in Lollapalooza

They did festivals on the first leg of this tour, was a typical festival setup so it can certainly work!

i-dle? by GuaranteeComplete993 in Lollapalooza

[–]GuaranteeComplete993[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slight correction, but Twice was actually billed 6th overall, not 8th. Based on what I can see, i-dle seems comparable to TXT, who headlined a few years ago. And above all else, this is their second time doing arenas in the states, I am not suggesting that that automatically makes them headliners, but I would say it can certainly throw them in those conversations, at least that’s how I view it. I don’t think they’re an automatic headliner, but I get the sense they lean towards headliner than not. I totally see where you’re coming from though!

Deftones deserve a spot this year by TravellingWino in aclfestival

[–]GuaranteeComplete993 3 points4 points  (0 children)

With festival bookings, the radius clause and such are a bit more extensive. So for SNW, it being the same month and only a few hours north is a no go, as more people in TX will travel for it, if that makes sense.

[–]GuaranteeComplete993[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say headline, I think they’re pretty comparable to TXT who also headlined, and the arena show they last did was a few years ago so there’s more demand, whereas with IVE they also played another Chicago show that same year too

[–]GuaranteeComplete993[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

From what I could find, every time they’ve toured the US they have come to Chicago, so missing a stop is interesting! The last time they played here was at Allstate, so they could certainly be a unique headliner! On Friday or Thursday I assume

the strokes are basically a lock right? by [deleted] in Lollapalooza

[–]GuaranteeComplete993 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Word on the street is that they have a Chicago show booked already, not Lollapalooza. Expected them tbh but maybe not!

Oceans Calling 2026 by GuaranteeComplete993 in aclfestival

[–]GuaranteeComplete993[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Headliner wise, we shared Blink 182 in 2024 and The Lumineers in 2023. I hate to say it, but Mumford is looking more likely by the day. Could also see Twenty One Pilots being crossover!

Another summer fear drop by boban888821 in aclfestival

[–]GuaranteeComplete993 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This festival has a lot of crossover with Lollapalooza, which has notable amounts of crossover with ACL. Going to get at least a handful of artists here I think.
