Austin City Limits 2010 Lineup Announced
It’s that time again, and Austin City Limits has announced its 2010 lineup.
First impressions? Like most music festivals these days, I’m finding the most value in the so-called second- and third-tier acts. Although I would very much like to see Flaming Lips (as they bagged Memphis in May) and Spoon. Well, I guess The Strokes, too.
As far as the rest, there are some genuine gems — The Black Keys, Broken Bells, The National, Local Natives, Band of Horses, The Soft Pack and more. The list of ACL’s 2010 performers is below. We’ve taken the liberty to highlight some recommendations, and in the case of those bands we’ve reviewed, discussed or played on Sound Citizen Radio, you’ll find a link to our coverage.
It’s tough to pick the best day to attend, if you can’t make all three. But so far, I’m leaning toward Sunday with Flaming Lips, Band of Horses, The National, The Morning Benders, Dawes and several others. Plus, The Eagles are kind of legendary.
