This year, for my birthday, my parents gave me tickets to ACL this October! I am beyond excited about this, since I've never been and always wanted to go. Also, some artists I really, really love are going! So since there are TONS of bands playing all weekend, and my musical knowledge is fairly limited, I've made lists of the ones from the Aus360 website, divided into helpful categories, to help me keep track.
