andrew032302 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) EDIT: IT IS CONFIRMED!! EDIT #2: GnR is playing on the American Express Main Stage both Fridays from 7:30-10 PM Word on the ACL subreddit is that Guns n’ Roses may be this years legacy act and headline the festival this year. While the official lineup comes out next Tuesday, there is reason to believe this could be true: - For 1, the fest occurs from Oct. 4-6 and Oct. 11-13 (in the style of Coachella), coinciding with what Slash said about a small October tour - GNR didn’t stop in Austin on ANY leg of the NITL tour, showing why C3 (the company who books the festival) may want them - Speaking of C3, they are also in charge of Exit 111, where GNR is playing on the Sunday. Exit 111 and ACL’s second weekend overlap, making it logical that GNR will take the #1 spot at ACL and play Friday night in Austin then head to Tennessee the next day - Also, with Metallica playing last year, it seems like the fest is trying to get some bigger rock names in the fold for future lineups Edited August 18, 2019 by andrew032302 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty69 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 With the Tuesday announcement, would other shows be announced in between the festival appearances also Tuesday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I love these guys, I honestly only think we may only see 1 or 2 more shows either after Louder than Life or after Exit 111 Edited April 27, 2019 by andrew032302 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew032302 Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 Just saw Sid’s video. If he comes back, first, thanks for getting this topic some exposure. Second, there is a slight mistake in your video. Having Exit 111 and ACL overlap doesn’t make GNR a Weekend 1 exclusive. It just means Guns will headline the Friday night on Weekend 2, have Saturday off for travel, then play Exit 111 on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of them confirm Guns, we only got 1 headliner out of the clues.

GNRfanMILO Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 So It's pretty much confirmed we are getting a pro-shot livestream of this show? I beg they keep Slither and Shadow Of Your Love on the setlist, would be awesome to have those in proshot quality! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockphantom Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 As expected, GNR are the only rock band on the entire lineup. No need for any rock fan to buy 3 day weekend tickets for ACL. I must be old (41), because other than the Cure and Bruce Hornsby I have never heard a song from any of the other artists!!

GnR, The Cure, Mumford and Sons (even if they kinda suck), Tame Impala, The Raconteurs, Gary Clark JR, Thom Yorke are all rock and that's just first 3 rows 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockphantom Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 If I was booking ACL, GNR would headline Friday night, Van Halen on Saturday night, and Iron Maiden would close out the festival on Sunday night. Then I'd load the under-card with established and up and coming hard rock groups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering ACL isn't necesarilly a rock festival, I feel like they would have a tough time selling tickets to the Austin hippies and sorority girls who attend the fest.

Exit 111 and LTL are good rock fests, glad to see GnR playing a fest with a wider scope of artists.

Good point. I lived in Austin for 13 years and am well aware that it is a haven for hipsters. I'm glad to be removed from that scene.

Nicklord Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 This isn't a hippie fest. It's as mainstream as it gets. Mainstream rock, mainstream hiphop, mainstream indie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew032302 Posted April 30, 2019 Author Share Posted April 30, 2019 My opinion on the lineup is as follows: Hyped we got Gambino back, these may be his last two shows so I'm glad I get to be a part of his experience. Mumford is kind of a let down since they headlined in 2016 Billie and Tame are very exciting gets Thom Yorke came out of nowhere The rap on this lineup is insane: Lil Uzi, 21 Savage, Denzel MF Curry Only letdown is no Anderson. Paak, everything was in place for him to come and he didn't show up. Sorry @Gordon Comstock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
