yeah he just decided to do this idk what to tell you
well you were the one that forced me to pay 500k lol me and Todd had an agreement on 250k and you said it had to be higher when I didn’t even want him in the first place
Yeah I couldn’t let Rob Zombie for 125k a show happen.
I considered Journey and Greta Van Fleet without them being pushed on me lol.
Rooloo tried to get me with Lumineers and Sublime W/ Rome but asked for way too much
i literally laughed out loud when he sent me the price for the lumineers.
each act had a minimum price to ensure someone wasn’t just booking Lumineers for like 100k across every fest. 400k is probably right for them tbh, they had an arena / ball park tour this year I think
400k is probably right, maybe even more, but him offering that for them to sub when we already had Khalid headlining at $350k was wild to see
i lowballed some of the shittier acts. Ed Sheeran gets about 4M a show and his minimum was 1.8M because I really wanted to see someone force a fest to book him.

I did say I would release my vetoes but I honestly did not keep track. I think the most egregious was Primus for 30k. There were some I didn’t veto because I didn’t think it gave a serious advantage to anyone or because I wanted to see it happen (Alan Jackson for 300k and Bo Burnham for 175k respectively).
Agents: I’m in the market for a big act (between low end headliner and sub) that will attract the LSU Booster types. If I can’t imagine middle aged white guys at the set wearing Tommy Bahama shirts and trying to hit on teenagers it might not be a fit. DM me.
what was everyone's best agent response? mine was "I don't give a fucking shit if Matt Stone shows up at bonnaroo" or "if you don't book Griz he won't stop having sex with my wife"
“ The boys in Animal Collective have really been pissing me off lately. I'll give you Missy Elliott if you also book Animal Collective and put them as humiliatingly low on the lineup as possible.”
(This half-fizzled out after I said pitchfork already tried doing that in 2021 and I just paid the extra booking fee for Missy lol)

It's time for Volume 2 of Festival 5 Live presented by Trojan Brand: An Interview with andrew
As we all know, Mr. 032302 is the resident Texan in the booking industry, and he is damn proud of it. In our interview he made sure to hammer home this point as he confirmed that he intends to remain true to Austin City Limits' identity during his tenure as the festival's main booking agent. He acknowledges that the festival has tended to skew more towards an older demographic than other C3 festivals while still booking acts to cater to the area's younger crowd. While trying to appease both crowds, 032302 states that their #1 headliner for both weekends is a "universal icon."
This was Dolly Parton
In staying true to his Texas roots, Andrew is working hard to make sure the lineup represents Texas music and artists well. Some clear examples of this attention to detail is their booking of a Texas native who has been selling out large venues across the country as a sub-headliner for both Saturdays
Misquoted but this was Cody Jinks
as well as a Texas pop/R&B artist who has finally made the jump to headliner status and he believes should draw a great crowd.
Khalid
When asked about if the fest is looking to book any exclusive or special acts, 032302 suggests that their top 3 is not necessarily meant to be exclusive, but he has not heard much chatter about them being booked for other festivals. However, he is in the act of trying to secure a Sunday sub-headliner that would be a North America exclusive and complete what he calls "one of the most unique runs on a major fest stage in a long time."
Ended up getting moved to Friday after John Mayer was killed, was gonna be Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds -> NIN.
One change that 032302 is making to the scheduling for ACL this year, however, is a switch from their usual Saturday sub-headliner spot at the American Express Main Stage during Weekend 2. This spot is typically reserved to appeal to the tastes of the college hooligans at UT-Austin, but, with that weekend being a big rivalry away game, he wants to ensure this slot appeals more to the fest's boomer demographic.
Cody Jinks W1, Clint Black W2 subbing for Stapleton
All in all, ACL knows they cannot completely ignore their younger demographic despite trying to appeal a bit more to their older attendees, and they plan to make use of the kids and their dad's credit cards with raised alcohol prices that they know will rake in a ton of dough.

honestly the more embarrassing thing is that prior to the wheel I was preparing to drop a wild amount of money to try and reunite Fuck Buttons in spite of JTR’s insistence otherwise.
