Austin City Limits Episode Tapings Announced: Monsters of Folk, The National, Band of Horses, and more

Austin City Limits is gearing up for a huge television season as well as one of their best music festival lineups ever. They recently announced that Jimmy Cliff, Spoon and Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue would both separately be joining the ranks of the musical elite that have graced that stage, and four more heavy hitters were just announced as well…

Austin City Limits has four scheduled tapings around the dates of the Austin City Limits Music Festival:

Monsters of Folk: Wednesday, October 6th
Sonic Youth: Thursday, October 7th
Band of Horses: Saturday, October 9th
The National: Monday, October 11th

These tapings will be held in the Austin City Limits studio (as usual), and any announcements regarding ticket availability and giveaways for the public will be posted on the ACL blog approximately one week before each taping. The sets will air as part of ACL’s 36th season on PBS, premiering this fall. Exact airdates are TBD – we’ll post details as we get them sorted out. We have a few more tapings in the works, so stay tuned for word on those as well…

Nice lineup there. I wonder who else they have planned.
