Snagged 2 weekend one's, you betchur ass I'm going to see McCartney, it'll be the best live show down there ever

i did weekend two, as i have OU tickets already.

this is the first time in years i've pulled the trigger on ACLfest.

Nope.  McCartney, The Breeders and Alice Merton ain't enough to get me to deal with all the abject fuckery.  Enjoy your festival, boys.

Yeah, I went to like the first 4-5 then it got too big or whatever.   This time I'm in.  Gotta see him once more 'afore he croaks. He'll be 76 at concert time.  Of course I hope he lives a long, long life, but man, you never know.  Maybe with all the hooch he's toked in his life he'll still be running around onstage like Willie, and Willie has had a joint in his time, I believe.

and i don't even really care about mccartney...i never used to go for the sunday headliner. the national, chvrches, st vincent, sylvan esso, manchester orchestra, the wombats, the breeders, parquet courts, and yeah, even metallica are big enough draws for me

I would LOVE to see Macca, but I'll wait until he hits COTA or ACL Moody and drop $200 per ticket instead of seeing nothing from several hundred yards away.  It's just not a good concert experience, unless you're there for the crowds (and I do know plenty of people love that aspect, so I'm not criticizing).

he played erwin a few years ago and now he's playing acl.  hate to say it but these could very well be his last austin dates.  i've seen him 4 times and even from across the park it's the best show going.

LOL, hope all the out-o-town young hipsters get ready for the invasion of the old creaky Boomers.
Payback is a bitch.

Old man yells at crowd.

Kick some serious ass!

the thought that if paul ever played moody you'd be able to get a ticket for $200 is funny to me.

Same

Finally get to see ODESZA.  That shit got me through late nights coding in grad school and they’ve been getting more radio play lately.

Holy shit, Asleep at the Wheel!!!!!!!

Yet, no Muse. :(

 

Apart from the obvious OMG MUST SEE BANDS! I'm looking forward to Justice, Lily Allen, and Deftones

Edited by Bottlecap

That’s why I picked week 1. Wilderado too. I hope the game is back to 11am. 

If these assholes do something silly like putting deftones against Metallica I may have to smack a bitch. 

There's a dozen down list bands that I'm interested in.  Not a bad line up this year to my tastes.

yeah, pretty much all my complaints regarding last year's lineup have been addressed. my personal taste is very featured in this year's lineup, and that's why i pulled the trigger after five years or so of not going

Same. I haven’t heard of more than half the lineup but they booked plenty others that I really like. This will be my first 3 day since 2009. 

In the past it's been pretty easy to find some wristbands for cheap from scalpers on fridays. With McCartney and the other big headliners will this still be the case or do I need to get a ticket in advance?

Shit. I hate festivals but I've never seen Paul McCartney and there is a 98% chance this will be my last chance to see him. FUUUUUUCKKKKKK

His current band is the shit.  They've been together a long time now and it shows.  I've seen him half a dozen times now and the last 2-3 were the best.  

Was on the fence until I saw Sir Paul is gonna be there. He is absolutely fucking amazing and he’s possibly the only artist I would wait at his stage all day for

Are we not going to talk about ThunderPussy?  Two great things together

Very loudly undefeated.

Thunderpussy never strikes the same dick twice.  Or so it has been explained to me by a urologist.  

Hopefully Baylor will be doing shitty and it's an early home game so one could attend both the game and the festival.  

Already genuinely curious is they put McCartney on by himself or if there's dueling closers on Sunday.  

Much of the lineup is beyond my age, but at least it seems to be less EDM/iPod heavy than in recent years.  Which is nice. 

Anyone on the fence about going to see Paul needs to wise up. Greatest show I've ever seen, with second place a long way back.

Weekend 1 we in this bitch.  Looking forward to Sir Paul and to see him in a festival atmosphere is a no-brainer.

 

Deftones, Metallica, Janelle Monae, Khalid, Travis, etc., make it even better.

Only downside to weekend 2 versus weekend 1 is not Greta Van Fleet.  Otherwise, given a good possibility of an early game versus Baylor...I'd say we're in business

macca is amazing.  I wish they'd give him a 3 hour slot for his normal show.  but if he crams in the main hits in 2 hours from his normal show it will be the best 2 hours of music you might ever witness.

Re: edm- look again. This lineup is very edm/hip hop heavy. 

Usually if i go its for a one day tickets so, just need to see how the days will break down.   Mostly likely would look at going whatever night Metallica is playing as long as it isn't Friday.

Almost guarantee Metallica will be Friday. They’ve been booking the rap/EDM stuff on Saturdays more the last few years as that day has the biggest crowds of kids, so Gambino gets Saturday and that leaves only Friday for Metallica. 

They don't always put the number one on Sunday lately (see Radiohead) ever since they stopped having them unopposed. That said, it would be criminal not to put Macca on Sunday.

This. Also, Saturday will sell out regardless of who is headlining so no reason to bust their load with the expensive acts that don't play every festival.

I'm guessing that McCartney will be on Sunday evening, which is usually when my lame-ass is heading out after three days of drinking in the sun.  I'm going to have to pace myself, and probably plan on going into the office late on Monday morning, just to see Paul.

Cien por ciento this.

I heard a caller on Jeff Ward's show yesterday saying that Macca at a festival would still be fantastic, especially once you get well over 100K people singing along to "Hey Jude".

That I can believe.  Might change my mind on this one.

I've looked at some of his festival setlists on setlist.fm and surprisingly they look like his full show(approx 36 songs).  If, and I know it is a big if, they give him a slot to do the full show in a festival atmosphere you wont want to miss it.  I'm wondering if he says I'll do the festival but it has to be the full show.  The fact the guy does 2.5 to 3 hour shows at his age shows you how much he wants the fans to have an experience.

even in the sterile atmosphere of the Drum it was amazing. best $300 I ever spent for a concert.
