It's up on the app. The only tough conflict for me right off the bat is Jenny Lewis v. Thom Yorke (hoping Jenny Lewis does an aftershow). A lot of running around for me Weekend 2.
Friday: Fidlar Black Pistol Fire (unfortunate about Cherry, but BPF 100 x out of 100 in this conflict) TroyBoi The Comet is Coming (unfortunate Raconteurs conflict) RL Grime for a bit Thom Yorke Guns N Roses > Tame > Guns N Roses (cool to see them get a 2:30 set)
Saturday: Tierra Whack Brittany Howard Gary Clark Jr. James Blake The Cure
Sunday: Idles Rebelution Billy Strings Kacey/Bruce Hornsby Lizzo/GRiZ
As usual, I'll probably only go Friday/Saturday as other than Kacey and Rebelution, I'm not a big fan of Sunday. Only really bang for my buck day is Friday due to Black Pistol Fire, Comet Is Coming, Thom Yorke, Tame & GnR.
I hope there will be The Comet Is Coming and GoGo Penguin aftershows. Those two are the only names I wanna see but won’t be seeing because of conflicts.
Glazerr > Perine/Childers maybe > Katranada > oof Raconteurs/maybe some Comet > Jenny > Thom running into the headliner sucks > GnR/Tame
Peck > Stallion > Curry > Tierra > gf wants to go to Daigle > Lafourcade > Billie?/Masego > Blake > Cure
gf wants to see Drew > ??? > IDLES > ??? > Rosalia/GoGo > ??? > Kacey/try to make it for Thats Just the Way it is > Lizzo > Robyn/end of Mumf
sunday feels a little empty, maybe I would have seen Uzi had he stayed sunday, but he probably would have been during Kacey/Lizzo/Rosie (which good on them for not having a Kacey/Lizzo conflict). i am kind of bummed about the Thom/GnR overlap, it would make more sense to see all of thom, start tame, and then saunter over, luckily i've seen them all so i won't beat myself up for missing any of it. Blake > Cure, thank you C3.
also sucks Peck gets early slot, i'll probably just try to see his show here so i can sleep longer

Metric vs. James Blake, Kacey vs. Bruce Hornsby, Jenny Lewis vs. Thom, Idles vs. Joseph, this is evil. It's been years since I've had conflicts like this at a festival, which probably speaks to this lineup's depth more than anything, but still. Glad we avoided a Thom/Racs clash, though. Friday evening is gonna be a fun one.
75 mins for Tame is unfortunate, though that means I can catch "Paradise City" before leaving the park that night. Speaking of which, I'm surprised/disappointed C3 shelled out the money for GNR to play 2.5 hours, but not for The Cure. LMAO at Mumford closing unopposed for an hour W1. That's what you get for booking a headliner with one album.
Billie into The Cure is gonna be a hilarious crowd exodus, and I need to do everything in my power to not get caught in that stampede that moves across the park.

For the most part this schedule worked out for my taste the most other then Friday and Saturday headliners which i expected still gotta figure out how I’m gonna breakup gnr and tame and Gambino and the cure. Also our friends were really excited for Billie who i was gonna check out but I’m really excited for Gary Clark jr so that was my only major conflict besides headliners.
Friday- The Band Camino> Black Pistol Fire> Tyler Childers> The Raconteurs> Jenny Lewis> Split GnR and Tame
Saturday- maybe blackillac> Flora Cash> Taylor Bennet> Denzel Curry> Brittany Howard> Judah and the Lion> Most of GCJ and then last bit of Billie> 21 Savage> split Gambino and The Cure
Sunday- Rebelution> Caamp> Kacey Musgraves maybe some third eye blind depending on my fiancé and friends I’m with idk which one they favor more> Lizzo> Mumford
i don't really know why but GCJr does nothing for me. I'll check out billie to see the hype, but i could see myself just getting a good spot for the Cure where I can also hear/see Blake.

The Raconteurs absolutely killed it in Pittsburgh this week. I went in thinking I'd skip them at ACL and left thinking that's a must see show (and I've seen Jack White 4x and like the White Stripes better). The extended jams and solos on every song were unbelievable, and Jack looked way happier and like he was having way more fun than the last solo tour. It reminded me a lot of when I first saw him in 2012 at Lolla and how blown away I felt by the guitar playing, the skill of the whole band, and the production level/sound of the show.

It's nothing earth shattering, but I've always liked the blues and the way he incorporates it into his rock and roll. Also, I thought the video for This Land with the confederate flag burning was pretty great and a nice Texas styled attack on white supremacy and injustice.

I last saw them 7 or 8 years ago and want to see them again. But they're playing here, and my daughter works for Fillmore. So I might go to that here to make up for it. No chance I'm missing The Comet Is Coming, because if they could recreate that Bonnaroo intensity, it would make a play for Top 3 of the weekend for me. Obviously no hate for Raconteurs who I didn't see being in a conflict with TCIC. :/

He's a good player, just none of his songs really hit me. I've seen him before ('15?) and he's a buddy of a buddy, so I hope everyone else enjoys it lol

I like GCJ he’s played a ton of fest i’ve been too I’ve just never caught one of sets but really like the new album so it was one of those i finally wanna see him live. Billie looks fun live tho not huge on her album but for a pop star she’s not bad to me. I’ll most likely split them tho.
I have mixed feelings on GCJ. I’ve seen him about four times, most recently in April. I wasn’t going to go but the tickets were free (which should give you an idea of where I stand on him).
He’s a very proficient guitarist but his songs are the same old blues rock jams I’ve heard countless times. He’s never going to be the worst choice for a festival or night out, and it may be enjoyable enough at the time, but it’s all just a little uninspired and forgettable. Gary Clark Jr is basically an airport Applebee’s.
