I have to say it’s one of the oddest, and kinda meh lineups I’ve seen from the festival.
Perhaps it’s just my age, but I don’t know half the bands on it, and the ones I do aren’t enough of a draw to get me there. The Chromatics are cool, same with Glass Candy, but not enough to really get me jazzed.
I don’t know how metal fans will feel about only half of the original Slayer lineup playing the fest?
I do have some nostalgic regard for Ice-T and his band Body Count. And Television are certainly an excellent band. Johnny Marr and Quicksand are nothing to sneeze at either.
Maybe I was just so wowed by this year’s ACL Fest that this one left me a bit cold.
But I’m sure there are lots of hipsters, and music fans who’ll have a good time. My opinion doesn’t mean jack shit.
