Tis the season for music festivals. And while it might be easy to associate these these rock-infused bacchanalias with the summer months, they extend well into the breezy autumn as well. Case in point, Austin City Limits, which kicks off its seventh year on Friday, September 26.

The Mars Volta has been there and seen it. All. For the past few months, the "progressive-rock whirlwind" has been touring through Japan, Australia, New Zealand, the UK and Europe. But come September, the duo (and all of its epic hair) will be home, sweet home again. And touring.Found in:

It was cool when the Austin City Limits Music Festival leaked a line-up teaser last week in the form of a musical mash-up featuring 29 of the artists playing the 2008 festival. We had fun guessing. Thankfully though, the festival organizers have now put us out of our misery and simply told us who's playing. All the obsessive speculation can quit, because here the lucky bands be.
The top half (and therefore ostensibly the more important half?) of the poster reads as follows: Foo Fighters, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, Beck (long live the '90s!), Manu Chao, John Fogerty, David Byrne, The Raconteurs, The Mars Volta, Gnarls Barkley, Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band, N.E.R.D., Erykah Badu, Robert Earl Keen, Patty Griffin, Tegan & Sara, Iron & Wine, G. Love & Special Sauce, Neko Case, Band of Horses, The Swell Season, Silversun Pickups, Gogol Bordello, Gillian Welch, Eli Young Band, The Black Keys, Against Me!, Jakob Dylan and the Gold Mountain Rebels, Okkervil River, Galactic, Kevin Fowler, Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, Hot Chip, Vampire Weekend, Slightly Stoopid, Duffy, Alejandro Escovedo and Roky Erickson.
And all that's just what's before the letters get smaller. Some standouts from the rest of the pack include Spiritualized, Drive-By Truckers, Stars, CSS, M. Ward, Yeasayer, Delta Spirit, Mates of State, Colour Revolt, Langhorne Slim, Man Man, MGMT, Jamie Lidell....stopping now. There are enough fantastic bands here, that if we keep going we'll just have to retype the entire lineup.
To save us the trouble, check out the official poster with all 130 bands here. And get to ticket-buying, because $170 three-day passes are still available at ACLFestival.com. The festival takes place at Austin, Texas's Zilker Park for the seventh year running, September 26-28.

Get those discerning ears ready! While the full lineup for this year's Austin City Limits Music Festival will appear on this page on April 15, in the meantime (and as if festival news doesn't trickle in gradually enough), ACL has taken lineup-leaking technology to a new level.
They've posted an audio mash-up of songs by 29 of the confirmed artists (out of 130) for the fest. The mix was made by Austin filmmaker Christopher Rose, recording under the moniker Car Stereo (Wars).
Listen here, and let the hypothesizing begin!
If there's no time in your busy schedule to try to parse the artists in the less-than-four-minutes-long mash-up, take a peek at The Daily Swarm's best guesstimations:
Asleep at the Wheel
Okkervil River
Man Man
Silversun Pickups
CSS
N.E.R.D.
Gnarls Barkley
Raconteurs
MGMT
Jamie Lidell
Eli Reed
Neko Case
Kate Nash

The Octopus Project
Del the Funky Homosapien

(Paste also hears Tegan & Sara, Louis XIV, Ingrid Michaelson and maybe Joe Jackson...)
The festival will take place Sept. 26-28 at Austin, Texas's Zilker Park. Three-day passes have been on sale at the ACL website since February, though both of the discounted advance levels have already sold out. The regularly-priced passes are $170. You can buy them through the website, or, you know, you can get 'em from this squirrel:
