this is such a weak lineup!
in my opinion Free Press Summer Fest lineup > ACL this year


You just posted a festival with Skrillex in the top spot.

putting shrillex as the top act is a marketing tactic.. if you've ever been to Houston you'd know that dub and EDM are still very much thriving here.. thats where they will get their ticket sales.

the substance is in the smaller print..

and it thins the crowd for shows I'm tryin to see.. or you could go see foo fighters and drake and stand a mile away from the stage

You have any advice on picking up a bartending gig here in Austin? Just something a few days a week.

Drake and The Weeknd as fricking headliners.


This proves my point that the average person has awful taste.

what's the difference from foo fighers? ... i've been to acl three times and the foo fighters are the weakest headliner they've ever had ... pop crap at its highest precision ...

I didn't even mention the foo fighters in my list. I'll put the 2nd and 3rd tiers of this ACL lineup up against those tiers of any festival anywhere. It's absolutely loaded.

If you are judging a festival by its headliners, you're doing it wrong.

No you're right. That is really solid as well. I absolutely prefer this ACL list but that's just personal preference. I would gladly pay either of those fees to attend either festival to see either list.

Oh I'm not, but those are some headliners that'll bring a lot of flat bills.


Plenty of bands id like to see that are listed, just shitty headliners
