UPDATE: The lineup has been announced, check it out here
The Austin City Limits Festival will announce the 2012 lineup on Tuesday, May 22nd; and already the rumors about headliners and lineup choices are flying. We've already confirmed a number of lineup choices from the ACL scratch-off lottery game (see below), and will likely see more in the next days before the full Austin City Limits 2012 lineup announcement, which is supposed to happen at 12:01 a.m. on Tuesday as it did last year.
There's been an eruption of Austin City Limits rumors about Radiohead headlining and Modest Mouse has been thrown into the mix as well. Others include No Doubt, Animal Collective and Silversun Pickups. This is all speculation and ACL rumors at this point, as the lineup announcement on Tuesday will reveal the entire 2012 lineup and headliners.
The ACL Scratch-off Lottery has already revealed ACL lineup choices like Bon Iver, Jack White, The Black Keys, A-Trak, Andrew Bird and Zola Jesus are all in, among others. Officially known as the "ACL Lineup Lottery," Austin City Limits organizers decided to do the scratch-off lottery as a fun way to reveal the ACL lineup and create a buzz around the lineup announcement. They even have an "Official Lineup Lottery Page" at the website. The Austin City Limits Twitter page has also been announcing locations in Austin to buy the scratch-off tickets. Sit tight, keep your feed open, an we’ll have the Austin City Limits lineup soon.
