    they usually announce the schedule a couple of months before.


    That would be awful helpful, this is the first festival I got to since 1992 when I went to see PJ in Lollapalooza, so I consider myself a festival virgin! LOL

    can't wait to get some aftershow information. i could see a few of these bands playing around town that week. of course, the BIG hope is that PJ will do a show somewhere. 8-)


    Eagerly awaiting that info also! Saw Black Keys at Stubbs last year...what a blast! :)

    I will be there all three days. Deciding on whether I should try to find a hotel at this point or just stay with my friend in San Antonio? It's only an hour drive...

    Have any of you been to ACL before? Any advice on what to expect?

    Get ready to walk a lot. You might want to start training NOW. :lol:

    Srsly I was thinking it might be good to have a thread on how to get ready for ACL as it gets closer. Just simple advice or suggestions from people who have gone before. :geek:

    But I'm not kidding about all the walking you do. By Sunday I usually have blisters on my blisters. :shock: :lol:

    This will be my 4th ACL (with by far, the BEST lineup I've seen)-as well as my 2nd time seeing PJ in Austin.

    I am sooo excited about October: hanging out with friends from home, enjoying awesome music together, and Kerbey Queso!

    HELLLOOOO! I'm looking to buy 1-day pass (Sun obv) and was wondering if you all that have been there before can let me in on what the venue is like?? Are there VIP restricted areas in front of the stage? No heats I'm hoping right? If you don't get there on Fri are you fu@ked as to how close to the stage you can get? THANKS!

    you can still buy single day tickets for sunday at aclfestival.com. tix are $85 with no extra fees added on. vip is not in front of the stage. last time i went it was off to the side and was basically there for people who wanted to cool off in the shade and drink beer all day. there is no camping at zilker park. everyone leaves at the end of each day so if you get there early in the morning you can get up front. hope that helps! and even though it is in early october it can still get plenty hot in texas so take advantage of the two water bottle rule (you can bring in two bottles of water with you each day... saves you some $$$)

    :D

    When you get up close to the stages at ACL you'll see some people sitting on scaffolding in the wings. It's my understanding that those are also people who purchase some kind of VIP pass or maybe they are just the bonafide VIPs. :lol: :roll: Anyhoo, there's no chance of scoring those seats!
    Just try to get there early in the day and you'll be all right. :)

    i personally wish that every other band that we want to see was playing on Fri/Sat so we could relax @ the PJ stage all day. 8-) it all depends on the scheduling for that day. there are so many great bands playing on Sunday, so we may have to make our move sooner than we want to.

    and yes, be prepared to walk. a lot. there are also certain time of the day when the food line is short. i get the feeling that this year may be different, but for the last 2 years, Sundays' crowd was significantly smaller b/c everyone has to get back to the real world on Monday.
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    there are plenty of people on there that can't go for some reason...or they bought them early & hate the lineup. plus, people will be selling 3 day wristbands on the first day (Friday). good luck!
