Yesterday, the Austin City Limits Music Festival released the schedule in grid form for this years event. The 2008 edition of the festival is being headlined by The Foo Fighters, Robert Plant & Allison Krauss, and Beck among others. With the schedule out a good three-and-a-half months before the start of the festival, It gives attendees plenty of time to plan their route of attack. Many conflicts are already standing out for me including N.E.R.D. vs. David Byrne on Friday, September 26th, Beck vs. Robert Plant & Allison Krauss on Saturday the 27th, and The Raconteurs vs. Gnarls Barkley on Sunday the 28th. There are plenty more conflicts on top of those, but when you enjoy and care about music as much as we do, you're bound to have these problems at music festivals.

The line-up for the first annual Outside Lands Festival, set for San Francisco's Golden Gate Park on August 22-24, was released today. The event is put on by Superfly Presents (which is the same group who run that other major festival in Tennessee), as well as Another Planet Entertainment and Starr Hill Presents. Like most other festivals this summer, Radiohead and Jack Johnson will be taking headlining duties. Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers are also set to headline.
