Van Morrison, Flaming Lips, Shins, Ween Amongst Acts To Play Austin City Limits Festival

A worldwide community of super-sensitive, highly emotional music fans have been holding vigil since September 2005 for the announcement of the 2006 ACL Music Festival lineup. Their wait is finally over. With a head-spinning display of diversity and poundage, the 2006 Festival features Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Van Morrison, Willie Nelson, Massive Attack, Ben Harper, The String Cheese Incident, Flaming Lips, The Raconteurs, Los Lonely Boys, The Shins, Ween, and about 100 more acts. Producers offer the lineup announcement as a service to overworked music journalists everywhere, delivering a powerful and newsworthy story that any monkey with a mouse could file.

The super-heavyweights on the lineup are reason enough to put the event in a position to repeat its Pollstar Festival of the Year Award, but the remaining two-thirds of the talent offers an array of shooting stars and blooming fruit. More acts include Thievery Corporation, Matisyahu, Iron & Wine, Son Volt, Guster, Damien Rice, Calexico, the New Pornographers, to name a few.

The full lineup is available at www.austincitylimits.com, along with a colorful, action-packed video version of the lineup coming to life in the park, complete with local critters.
