I didn’t realize heartless bastards had become a bigger name. Not that I’m complaining, but the real female fronted Ohio R&R is the tough and lovely.
I’ve heard rumors of The Arcade Fire and Wilco as well.
i heard stevie wonder too…but who knows, there are so many rumors flying around about this lineup.
it’s taking so much of me not to say who else has been confirmed to play.
dammit steve perry! the suspense is killing me!
No Spoon? There’s gotta be some Spoon.
I also heard Wilco, Blonde Redhead and Arcade Fire are confirmed.
I suspect Spoon and Ghostland will also be there.
I strongly endorse a Radiohead rumor.
I hope when ACL says more good stuff, they’re not thinking more Joss Stone-type shit.
