Austin City Limits Music Festival released its 2014 schedule on their mobile app this morning. The 13th annual event is set for October 3-5 and 10-12, continuing the new tradition of stretching the festival across two weekends.
ACL 2014 has no shortage of major acts. Attendees can look forward to performances by Interpol, Phantogram, Childish Gambino, The Avett Brothers, Jenny Lewis, Real Estate, Mac DeMarco, Major Lazer, Lana Del Rey and Gramatik. Lorde is slated to perform weekend two only.
However, this year's festival goers should note the possibility for scheduling conflicts. Fans will have a hard time choosing between some equally tempting performances with the same time slots.
Friday
5:15: St. Vincent vs. Sam Smith
8:15: Beck vs. Outkast
Saturday
5:30: Iggy Azalea vs. Iconapop
8:30: Eminem vs. Skrillex
Sunday
6:00: Spoon vs. the Replacements
8:00: Pearl Jam vs. Calvin Harris
Though this overlap is typical, some have already noted that the acts are less staggered than they normally are. This means it will be more difficult to navigate Zilker Park from stage to stage, so plan accordingly.
For the truly dedicated, single passes are back again this year, so if you can't choose between overlapping shows you can buy a pass for the alternate weekend.
To start planning your ACL weekend, the full lineup is available on their website. The schedule is still only offered on the mobile app, but according to sources it will be posted on their website tomorrow.
