'ACL' to welcome major festival acts to the studio

Published June 10, 2010 at 3:01 p.m.

One of the many great things about the Austin City Limits Festival is that it offers the opportunity for its namesake TV show to host some big names during the days before and after the Zilker Park madness. For those who don't attend the fest, it offers a chance to see bands they would have otherwise missed, and for those attending the fest, it offers a chance at a respite from the heat. And for thousands around the country, it means more great programming from the public television powerhouse.

OK, enough foreplay.

The confirmed fest acts taping episodes of "Austin City Limits" are as follows:
Monsters of Folk: Wednesday, October 6
Sonic Youth: Thursday, October 7
Band of Horses: Saturday, October 9
The National: October 11

No times have been announced for these tapings.

As always, information about ticket availability and the ticket giveaway will be made available on the “Austin City Limits” blog about a week before the taping. For more information on the show, and to watch entire episodes from the archives of the show that's in its 36th year, check out austincitylimits.org.
