If you have Austin City Limits Festival tickets or Bumbershoot tickets, you finally get to learn who is playing!

When we did our festival roundup last month, these were two of the biggest festivals yet to unveil their lineups. Of course ticket sales for both have been strong, but fans have been eagerly awaiting the official announcements! So which festival has the best lineup? What do you think?

If you have Austin City Limits Festival tickets, you’re headliners will include: Stevie Wonder, Arcade Fire, Coldplay, Kanye West and My Morning Jacket. And if you choose Bumbershoot tickets, you’ll see Daryl Hall & John Oats, Wiz Khalifa, Ray LaMontagne & the Parish Dogs, Broken Social Scene and The Presidents of the United States.

Of course with both of these festivals, the best part is catching the middle tier bands, many who you may have never heard of. Nothing beats wandering around and letting your ear guide your way. Hearing an awesome tune from a stage in the distance and slowly drifting that way. All of a sudden, a new favorite band!

Austin City Limits Festival tickets are just about sold out (all three-days are gone, only Sunday single days are left) but of course, a quick search on FanSnap and you’ll be all set. Bumbershoot tickets are also going fast. These are sure to be two awesome weekends. You don’t want to miss out! (more…)

We’re still waiting for the official headliners (tune in June 1), but in the meantime the fest is teasing us by unveiling one band a day throughout the month of May. So far, highlights include: Broken Social Scene, The Kills, Mavis Staples, Fitz and the Tantrums and Ray LaMontagne. Pretty nice start if you ask us! Grab your Bumbershoot tickets today!

Austin City Limits Music Festival – Sep. 16-18, 2011 – Zilker Park, Austin, Texas

Austin City Limits Music Festival spun out of its namesake TV show, a program that’s been on the air for 40 years. Like Bonnaroo, the festival is celebrating its 10^th anniversary this year. And like Sasquatch, Austin City Limits Festival tickets are already sold out. The official lineup doesn’t come out until tomorrow, but rumors are everywhere with the most probable names including Arcade Fire, Stevie Wonder and Kanye as the headliners.

We scored some Arcade Fire tickets to the band’s Austin show on Tuesday. Let’s just say the Grammy winners for Album of the Year hit it out of the park! The energy, the sound, the dancing, the artistic flare…and of course the crazy video screens rolling in the background.

The show started with video trailers from Over the Edge and The Warriors, a nice little transition from the chill Explosions in the Sky who played earlier. The eight band members popped up on stage and opened with “Month of May” which definitely got the crowd up on their feet. The set list included many old favorites including “Haiti” and “No Cars Go,” with of course a few songs from their newest album, The Suburbs.

If you have a chance to get Arcade Fire tickets – two words – DO IT! The band delivers an incredible live performance. Of course their vocal talent rocks and they are all over the stage dancing, but then you add in an instrumental fun house with guitars, drums, an organ, a piano, a cello, an accordion, maracas, tambourines, violins, and I’m sure plenty of others that we couldn’t see. We enjoyed every second of the performance and left hungry for more!

One quick tip, turn away from the video screen during “No Cars Go.” Those ladies are still haunting us!

Below is the full set list from the evening. Arcade Fire is making a few more stops in the U.S. before heading overseas. Grab Bonnaroo tickets or Jazz Fest tickets to catch them at the upcoming festivals. Promise it will be well worth it! And in the meantime check out this great footage of “Wake Up”!

The combination of Dave Matthews (tickets), Kings of Leon (tickets), Phoenix, the Flaming Lips, Norah Jones, Jay-Z, The Dead Weather and many others is a music-lovers dream. In total, about 125 bands will take the stage from June 10-13.

Bonnaroo has always stood apart from other music festivals.  Attendees get to camp-out for the four-day weekend and are treated to late night shows, impromptu jam sessions and an eclectic mix of music and comedy. In 2008, it was named “Best Festival” by Rolling Stone magazine, calling it “the ultimate over-the-top summer festival.”

For those with Bonnaroo tickets check out, The Wall Street Journal’s preview of 11 Musical Acts to See. If you don’t have Bonnaroo tickets and can’t make it to the festival this weekend, don’t worry.  Throughout the weekend log on to  Bonnaroo’s YouTube site to catch a webcast of all of your favorites throughout the weekend.

While we’re on the Festival front, those with Lollapalooza tickets can now figure out their weekend schedule. The complete Lollapalooza schedule is now online.

UPDATE: Check out the 2011 Coachella vs Bonnaroo vs Sasquatch tickets comparison

Some of the bigger festivals are coming up and wanted to get a feel for which weekend shidig fans would be most excited for. It’s a little unfair to compare based on today’s ticket prices and availability given some lineups were just announced and some festivals are later in the summer than others, but we did it anyway.  Coachella, Sasquatch, Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo are the biggies, but it appears based on ticket price and availability that Bonnaroo is the hottest ticket — at least at the moment.
