Felt lazy to not separate it out into bands vs guy, and some of my older favs like Passion Pit (touring band only) and Pretty Lights are the same. But this is Surly so sorry for that selfish and horrific mistake.

May 20, 20214 yr so how are we doing 7 headliners? In 2019 they had Billie Eilish as the non-headliner headliner playing at 6pm or so if I remember.

And I love FF and Pearl Jam btw.

And I love FF and Pearl Jam btw. props to you. i wish i could get into some of the modern big time acts. the crazy part about this lineup is there is exactly ONE band (Band of Horses) that i have paid to see in the past and i see over 50 shows a year. it's pretty hard to create a lineup that completely misses my musical tastes.

I'd really like to see PJ again. never seen george or nicks, neither are a bucket list for me and (not sure what they might be like at this age) so I might try to get a one day pass cheap for those days. first weekend is going fast. I think people are so hard up for live music the lineup isn't going to matter at all this year but Tanya Tucker being Weekend one only may be driving it. she can duet with George.

May 20, 20214 yr why would it be reduced capacity? I am assuming you'll be able to find some pretty cheap bands on the street corner walking up to Zilker though.

I could give two shits about George Strait. But I'm so hard up for live music and to once again experience playing hooky from work on a Friday afternoon to drink cold beer in Zilker Park while bands are playing all around me. Even if I have for fork over a lot of money and the bands are meh.
May 20, 20214 yr Surely they are initially operating on an assumption of reduced capacity?Anybody with an Amex card could buy yesterday. So I’ll bet there were a healthy number of pre sales.
May 20, 20214 yr Pent up demand is right. These tickets will be hot... I went ahead and bought Week 2 per my wife... looks like I might send her to ACL while I go to Dallas for Texas/OU. I think seeing George will be fun and Stevie Nicks is solid. Heavy on hip hop but I would expect that with as popular as that is now. I actually like DaBaby.

May 20, 20214 yr I’ve been going since 05 and they all sorta blend together outside of some highlights where I either ‘discovered’ a new band or went from a passing familiarity into full fan (CHRVCHES, Gnarls Barkley, Pretty Lights, Glass Animals, Alabama Shakes, etc). Otherwise it’s more for sitting in Zilker with my favorite people, no kids to worry about, watching football in the tent, music all around me, etc. Glad I rolled over my ticket from last year because it seems their order system is back to 2007 levels.
May 20, 20214 yr Speaking of which I need to finish out the ACL Bingo cards I was working on last spring

May 20, 20214 yr Got tickets for W1 and my niece and nephew are both coming down to join us. Can't wait. Jason Isbell in August and then this in October? I'm pretty excited.

May 20, 20214 yr Only tier-3 GA tickets for W2 left, and whatever they hold back for single day tickets. Edited May 20, 20214 yr by 0xdeadbeef
May 20, 20214 yr Weekend 2 is OU weekend. While watching the game in the packed Beer Hall would be fun, I went with weekend 1 since it's 168 hours sooner. As always, my goal is to eat, drink, and be merry. Also, I've heard from a reliable source that George is playing on Friday.
