Via Austinist:
This year's Austin City Limits Festival goes down September 14-16 at Zilker Park in the Texas capitol. The fest today revealed some bands set to play by having them be crossword clues for a puzzle in the Austin Chronicle. How splendidly bookish! You'd expect that more from a place like San Francisco or Seattle, not Austin, land of beers, barbecues, and Bushes. New additions to the fest include Bjork, the White Stripes, the Decemberists, Andrew Bird, Rodrigo Y Gabriela, and Peter Bjorn and John. They join already-known participants including Kings of Leon, Stephen Marley, Raul Malo, and Ben Kweller. Follow on after the jump for the rest of the bands known at this point. And you can head to the fest's website for more details.
