The official ACL Festival schedule is out! If you feel overwhelmed with the thought of choosing stages or have no idea who any of these people are on this year’s lineup, have no fear because The Morning X is here! As musical professionals (haha, sure…), it is our job to give you a list of acts that we suggest. Time to start mapping out your festival experience, and don’t forget to include water (and beer) breaks. You could also use this as a map to know which stages you can stalk us at but, let’s just assume that you will be using these for good and not to be a creep.
Here are Nick, Jason, and Emily’s suggestions for what artists you should try to catch this year. Okay let’s be honest, these are mainly Emily’s picks. You’re welcome.
