Watching the MACCA carpool karaoke made me look up flights for ACL.... way cheaper than I expected them to be. If I didn't just finally get a job and am getting married in December we'd prob totally pull the trigger on back to back weekends of Paul...

If anyone hears of any events in the days prior to and following the fest, please post them here. So far all I'm seeing is David Byrne, Phoenix, All Time Low, and Steve Martin w/ Martin Short.
just remembering they're opening, so idk might be a tough swing. Could still maybe get to Tribulations in time.
Hoping the daily split comes next week ish. Idk how well these are selling but I know a handful of people who won't commit until they see it, so it's probably in their best interest to hurry it up.
I wonder if this not selling is more line- up related or overall "fest fatigue." Were the immediate sellouts also related to people gobbling up tickets to sell later?
yeah i definitely feel like it should have sold out based on lineup alone. but idk maybe not.
hardcore paul fans are probably not ready to spend that much on a festival, where his closest contemporary is David Byrne, which idk what the crossover is there but like Dave didn't get an invite to Desert Trip. Metallica/Disturbed/Deftones (one weekend) isn't a murderers row for metal fans. national/travis probably fall into the 'fatigue'. Artic Monkeys new album flopped, and it seems a lot of people were into seeing both them and Gambino, which seem very likely to conflict, so I could see people waiting for daily's for that.
also feel like if cabello/mendes were both playing both weekends they'd get a few more tickets sold for the fans of those which probably have more crossover than McCartney/Byrne.

Yeah I'm kinda surprised this hasn't sold out yet either. This is the best NA lineup other than Coachella IMO.
Regarding Pallbearer, the FB event page says doors are 9 pm, so it indeed might be a little difficult to arrive for the opener. Unless one leaves early.
Thinking about it. I got a place to crash and it is driving distance. My festie bestie wants to go the first weekend. Life is sort of waiting for my wrist to not be broken. Two more weeks and then PT. So we will see.

Oh, cool. I'm going weekend one also. I doubt I'd leave the fest early for a late show unless it was on the night Macca and Metallica aren't closing. I had tickets for Sword, Kadaver, and All Them Witches at Mohawk after ACL one year, hung around for the first quarter or so of Drake's set before rushing over to the club. I was not impressed with Drake and ended up missing ATW. I have ditched the headliners for aftershows many times in the past. Wish I had on that one in retrospect.

I hope you can make it (do itttt!!!). Also I wish the fastest heal for your wrist!

Yeah Maddog and I ditched Drake early to catch Rezz and Deadmau5 DJ at Emo's. It's like that and Mumf at Roo 15 as far as headliner shows I just straight up skipped.
