At least I hope so, and that they don’t jam him into one of the smaller side stages at 4p like Flight Facilities was. Odesza last year was Honda stage. 8-10 Sunday night, opposite Hozier
May 10, 20241 yr Hozier. LOL. I hate it when both headliners are uninteresting to me. I was mildly excited to see Kanye, based on the hype, and he was astonishingly bad. I mean, really terrible. He was so bad my wife and I strolled over to watch Coldplay, a band I could not be less interested in. They were bad too, but not as bad as Kanye. We went to Magnolia Cafe and I had some Eggs Zapatino, which rocked.
May 10, 20241 yr Haven’t made it the last couple years after going basically every year previously. I’m determined to get out there again, at least for one day. Always a great time of discovering music, people (girl) watching, and Austin. Living DT, I don’t really have any excuse not to. Other than the cost.

They also are/were Grammy nominating machines. I mean who knows, stage/day is part of the allure in speculating on once the lineup is out. Selfishly I hope he’s not a Sunday closer, because by then most of the crew/myself are about done and have to work the next day. He throws out a unique blend of soul/groove that was a big chunk of the soundtrack back in my early 30’s. When we saw him at the backyard in like 2012, I was 32 and felt old even then…curious the crowd he draws.

We went to Magnolia Cafe and I had some Eggs Zapatino, which rocked. To be honest, I know two Hozier songs. I can't stand one of them. But ODESZA was just a big spectacle of a show. It was highly entertaining and it was "quite a crowd" you could say. But, Kanye / Coldplay. I get it... I would think, "oh, I like some Kanye songs" and yet I could totally see him sucking. And I find Coldplay terribly boring and unoriginal. Good choice on dinner.

I went to Polvo's last night and made the mistake of ordering migas...the waiter asked if I wanted cheese on them? I didn't even know it was legal to serve migas without cheese....worst migas of my life. I'm becoming convinced that the day old Austin died was when Las Manitas closed its doors...RIP. Edited May 10, 20241 yr by DixonHur
May 10, 20241 yr I've been surprised how many Austin restaurants serve a base migas without (a) cheese or (b) fresh chiles (preferably serrano). I mean, wtf?

Haven’t been in a few

May 13, 20241 yr Pretty Lights is absolutely closing out one of the main stages. Just look at the poster. Unless you think Khruangbin or Leon Bridges are. Which they're not.

Going to be mid-day on Friday based on that poster. And I'm thinking the Mannequin Pussy timing may be good for Friday.
May 14, 20241 yr Pleased to see Leon Bridges and Khruangbin on separate nights. I expect (hope) Khruangbin is Leon Bridges's band, but was worried they'd have limited time for their own music.
May 14, 20241 yr Either way, Friday is gonna be fucking awesome. Guess I gotta haul my old ass down for Sturgill though And so the playlist hunt begins. We still get to beat the shit outta OU in there somewhere, right ?

August 1, 20241 yr Saturday W2 is JAM. PACKED. Sunday very solid too. Friday is looking mid to me so someone give me recs there besides Leon and Elderbrook
August 16, 20241 yr They just swapped CAAMP and Chappel Roan's sets. Chappel moves from Saturday at 4:20 to Sunday at 6:45 CAAMP moves from Sunday at 6:45 to Saturday at 4:20 (before Khruangbin at AMEX)

August 17, 20241 yr Fuck. What are the “reasons”? I was really looking forward to CAAMP, Red Clay Strays, Sturgill already bought bought my W2 Sunday ticket. have no idea who Chappell Roan is Edited August 17, 20241 yr by UTexasFight …and quick google search shows me…I’m not sure what to say…
August 17, 20241 yr 12 hours ago, UTexasFight said: have no idea who Chappell Roan is She's a young pop singer who has totally blown up this summer. Her sets at festivals like Lollapalooza have been insane. She's talented, not my actual cup of tea, but plenty talented. I think it's a shitty thing for ACL to do to people who bought Saturday OR Sunday tickets for either of those two artists, and the "demotion" is particularly insulting to CAAMP.
August 17, 20241 yr My daughter just convinced my to buy a ticket for the 2nd Sunday since I will be in town anyway and her and her husband bit at tickets this morning specifically because Chappell Roan was moved to Sunday. She was just here with me in SF last weekend to attend Outside Lands and Chappell Roan was one of the highlights of their weekend. All her girlfriends dressed up in camo outfits that day, evide tly thats a thing w her. I still still need to check out her music, but she seems too be the hottest thing since Taylor Swift with the 20-somethings. Stugill is the Sunday draw for me. I didn't want to cough up the $250 for a single day to see him here. This seems like a bargain.
September 17, 20241 yr Author BUMP! Who do you plan on seeing? We're going W1. Still working through who I plan on checking out and either picking "Best possible band in a time slot" or "least undesirable option" (which seems to be the case Sunday morning of W1. Looking at Friday of W1, I'm thinking... The Saint Cecilia Sir Chloe Paco Versailles Mannequin Pussy Eggy Elderbrook or Dexter and the Moonrocks Foster the People (wanted to see Barry Can't Swim but have to pick one) The Marias (although Porter Robinson is probably going to be the usual dusk dance party on Miller Lite) Blink-182 Glad to mostly avoid American Express all day
September 18, 20241 yr Like the past several years, this almost 50-year-old has no fucking clue about most of these performers. I'm W1. I plan on seeing Foster the People. Saw them at ACL many years ago and it was a great show. I haven't heard stuff from them for a while, so I guess I need to check Spotify. I remember The Beaches early stuff from like 10 years ago, so I'll probably check them out. I'll be at Mannequin Pussy, just so I can tell people that I saw Mannequin Pussy. Per tradition, I'll stand about 100 yards from Asleep at the Wheel for 30 seconds or so.
September 18, 20241 yr my daughter bought second weekend and now wants to go first instead if anyone wants to do a wristband swap. i'm only going the first sunday for sturgill. looking at his setlists it doesn't look like 90 minutes will be nearly enough so i may have to double up on week 2.

Glad it's the only show for me at American Express since it's not my favorite stage. Looking at Saturday... Zach Person The Criticals IDKHOW Balthvs (or maybe some Telescreens) Teddy Swims Still Woozy (or Hermanos Gutierrez) Khruangbin Jungle I'm an either/or on Dua Lipa or Pretty Lights. Honestly would rather see Pretty Lights especially since I want to avoid Amex
September 19, 20241 yr I'll be W1 as well. Been listening to a playlist to find new artists. Sadly my favorites so far are Teddy Swims and Camp who play at the same time
September 30, 20241 yr Author Really enjoying listening to Sit Chloe right now. Good sound. Can't wait to see Mannequin Pussy shortly after.
October 1, 20241 yr Anyone have experience with last minute 3 Day Pass purchases? I grabbed two of the three I need at a decent price the other day…but watching the price for single 3 Day W1 passes go up each of the last three days. Looking at the official Ticketmaster exchange site. Thoughts on when to pull the trigger?
October 1, 20241 yr I have a friend who's trying to unload a W1 Saturday pass. PM me if you're interested and I'll put you in touch.

They're running commercials nonstop for some upcoming performance of his on Comedy Central without announcing the date, time or location. Which is okay by me because based on the snippet in the commercial I wouldn't cross the street to see this face tatted doucher if it was free. But that's just my opinion man

Yeah she canceled her shows last weekend due to mental health issues from the backlash she got for her non endorsement of Harris
