Festival season is BACK.
We’re finally rounding the corner on the music-less, festival-less, concert-less waste of an existence we’ve had to endure for the past year or so.
Concerts are back, live music is back, festivals are back, and more importantly for the good people of Texas… Austin City Limits Festival is back.
And they’re bringing THE KING.
Austin City Limits has officially announced the 2021 lineup slated for this fall, and it’s anchored by the King of Country Music, the King of Texas, the tequila sippin’, ropin’ and ridin’, starched jeans wearin’, baddest SOB to ever walk the face of the Earth… Mr. George Strait.
George Strait in Austin, Texas…. hold onto your asses people.
Other headliners include Stevie Nicks, Miley Cyrus, Billie Eilish and more, but we’re also gonna get a little Jon Pardi, some Tanya Tucker, Charley Crockett, and more.
It goes without saying, but the announcement just about broke the internet.
I mean, Twitter went bonkers:
George Strait headlining ACL has me speechless

Half of my TL is disappointed in the ACL lineup and the other half is deciding what boots to wear to George Strait.

Can only imagine what a festival with both Stevie Nicks fans and George Strait fans will look like

And you occasionally have a bozo like this…
Get it together, man…
I had to google who George Strait was and I’m still confused as to who he is and why he is on this unbelievably underwhelming lineup with a few gems https://t.co/xZcvfHj71y

And for old time’s sake, let’s throw it back to Austin City Limits 1989.
