What Do You Think of the 2011 ACL Lineup?

So Chickster readers, what do you think about the 2011 Austin City Limits Festival lineup?

I was at Gourdoughs last night at midnight when the list finally went live, and it was funny how everyone at the tables jumped on their phones and began discussing who they wanted to see and who they didn’t care about. I’ve got mixed feelings about the lineup (where is the heavily rumored Radiohead???), but there are plenty of acts I want to see like Fitz and the Tantrums, Fleet Foxes, Iron & Wine, Ray LaMontagne, Ryan Bingham, Bright Eyes and headliners Arcade Fire, Kanye West, Stevie Wonder and Coldplay.

What do you think about the lineup?

Kayne West? Really?

I also like the Greencards playing on Sunday, but honestly, not the most exciting lineup overall!

I would’ve bought tickets for just Radiohead or muse. Sad they’re not in the line-up!

Yeah, I was expecting a little more from the much-hyped 10th anniversary lineup. And some of the other summer festivals seem to have lineups I would like more, like Sasquatch, Hangout and Outside Lands. Especially Sasquatch: http://sasquatchfestival.com/lineup

Wow, Sasquatch looks amazing! I don’t suppose you were at all swayed by the Foo Fighters headlining…

Underwhelming for 10th anniversary, but still want to go.

Of course I was. And I also think Robyn would be super fun in a festival setting.

When I saw it my first thought was it was weird. It doesn’t really have any headliners I am excited about, but a lot of the bands lower down on the list I would love to see.

Thanks, Jamie. Do you ever come down for it?
