Take a stab at booking ACL 2010
It might be a bit early for lineup announcements for the 2010 Austin City Limits Music Festival, but it’s never too early to cross your fingers, speculate and dream fancifully about who you’d like to see. And the festival is stoking those fires big-time this year, giving fans a chance to suggest five artists who they’d book to rock Zilker Park in October 2010. You can send in your suggestions online through Nov. 17. C3 Presents gave Lollapalooza fans a similar shot that closes today.
Although suggestions can run the gamut from “mega headliners to artists we’ve never even heard of,” we humbly suggest you leave out the obvious — C3 probably already knows you’d like to see Radiohead — and show some love to some of your favorite Austin bands. Want to see the astonishing blues piano of Pinetop Perkins? The sweaty, groovy funk of Soul Track Mind? The intriguing alternative rock of Loxsly? Mobilize your friends and family and let ACL know.
Not that we’re suggesting ballot stuffing.

out of ideas?i’ll sell you guys some….i’d rather send ideas to bonnaroo or coachella,or old settlers for that matter……move this mess out of down town,buy your own land and build a better venue than zilker park….i support your fest just not the location….it rained at fun fun fun…and guess what….not barnyard smell……go figure…

Agreed w/ Deeza… let’s have it right outside town. I remember once a Willie’s 4th of July where they (Willie, The Dead, Neil Young) played at a place called Two River Canyon (I think).
Zilker just needs to be THE CITY Park. OH, and try and get Mustaine back in Metallica, do it C3 y’all could write a check that big, eh?

I want to see Whitman @ ACL 2010! I recently saw this Austin band open for Third Eye Blind in McAllen and they blew me away! I definitely went in there for 3eb but left a Whitman fan. These guys deserve to play in front of thousands. They certainly have the hooks and energy to do it.

Ok C3 so how are you going to pay me for doing your job for you? Should I leave my mailing address or a routing number so you can direct deposit?
