And why bother comparing this to Lollapalooza, C3 booked the same acts, except Lollapalooza is better with Jane’s Addiction and Tool rather than DMB (gag me).

Worst Lineup EVER! This is supposed to be the powerhouse we’ve been hearing about. Outdated crap laced with new junk with no substance. Eek a mouse is cool, why isn’t he on the big list? If we’re going to relive the 90s, Sonic Youth should be headlining over Pearl Jam. Ben Harper already headlined and Ghostland needs to learn how to play instruments, button pushing is only entertaining if you have massive amounts of street drugs, is this what we are promoting?

I’m guessing ACL’s beats Lolla’s…its not that great. Hard to compare anyway…I think ACL does a better job catering to people who love multiple genres and different generations…not so much with Lolla or Boonaroo for that matter. One reason many critics thought ACL was the best festival of 2008. Cheers to 2009 and I like what I’m hearing so far!

ACL Fest had an illustration of 2 oysters “jamming” into each other up for a few hours today. Could be an actual Pearl Jam confirmation.

Pearl Jam and DMB will be amazing. PJ hasn’t diminished in all of it’s years as a band. They will kill. And DMB will be great as always. Don’t know what they will do with out Leroi Moore. I couldn’t be more stoked about the Beasties too. All three of these bands have maintained their youthfulness and thus their ability to appeal to fans of all ages. Now if only we could get Social D or Bad Religion to bring in the punk.

KINGS OF LEON is all I have to say. This is their 4th release, but each one just keeps getting better. They are kind of like Pearl Jam in reverse, and way more HUMBLE! Not to say I don’t like TEN. Can’t wait to see the Followill boy’s live – hope they don’t party too hard before they go on, especially Caleb.

That’s all fine and good but with all those people headlining, I hope that their irrigation project works out at Zilker. The dust will suck. These headliners will bring in a good 10k extra folks than the past years. DMB alone probably. Any word on Glasvegas?
