List of Austin City Limits lineups by year

The Austin City Limits Music Festival has had the following lineups.

2002

2002 was the inaugural year of the festival. Unlike subsequent years, it was a 2-day event only. The festival, arranged by Charlie Jones and Charles Attal founders of C3 Presents, was thrown together in a matter of three or four months. The 2-day festival hosted 5 stages and 67 bands. One-day passes were $25. 42,000 people attended the event when only 25,000 were expected. The festival has grown every year since.

2002 Lineup

2003

The 2003 ACL Music festival took place September 19–21. With 100 bands performing, tickets increased to $65 for a three-day admission pass. Children under 10 were admitted for free when accompanied by an adult with a ticket.

The 2004 festival took place on September 17, 18 and 19. It had eight stages and, on the second day, a top attendance of 75,000 people. This spike in attendance forced the festival promoters to lower capacity per the request of surrounding neighborhood associations.

2004 Lineup

2005

The 2005 festival took place on September 23, 24 and 25. The 2005 Austin City Limits Festival won Pollstar's Festival of the Year Award. This was also the infamous "Dust Bowl" year where dust kicked up by the festival crowd made it difficult for audiences to breathe. The following year, sprinklers were installed in Zilker Park to remedy this problem. Organizers reduced the daily capacity of the event by 10,000 fans because of neighborhood disputes in the previous years. Three-day passes were sold for $105.

Last minute replacement acts

Cancellations

Several acts were scheduled to appear, but cancelled due to transportation issues arising from Hurricane Rita. They included:

2006

The 2006 festival took place on September 15, 16 and 17. After sweltering heat in 2005, festival organizers attempted to relieve festival goers from the Texas sun by adding more misting and water stations and more tents for shade. Organizers also added a mobile phone texting feature to the festival. AT&T's Blue Room offered options for fans to watch live streaming bands playing from the comfort of their own homes.

Ben Kweller suffered a nosebleed during his set. He attempted to stem the flow by inserting a tampon, thrown to him by an audience member, into his nostril. The tampon expanded painfully and then he removed it. Kweller performed two more songs until he had to leave the stage.[1] The next day when The Flaming Lips performed, lead singer Wayne Coyne asked the audience to throw tampons at him to help mop up his signature fake blood. It continued to rain tampons on the band for well over two songs.

2006 Lineup

2007

The 2007 Austin City Limits Music Festival occurred September 14, 15 and 16 in Zilker Park. Several acts, including Amy Winehouse, The White Stripes and Rodrigo y Gabriela, cancelled their appearances at the festival for health reasons, the latter two on very short notice. The scheduled performance by Saturday headliner The White Stripes was replaced by moving already scheduled Muse into the headlining slot.

Other notable moments include Friday when a propane tank was ignited and a fire broke out in the service area, burning down two trailers and several port-o-potties. Four people who were working at the festival were injured, two of them seriously. A second fire broke out on the speaker stack at the AT&T stage during Björk's set, but it was quickly extinguished and no injuries were reported.[2]
